Who Wants 10-pts for answering a Chris Squire Question?!
Question: PREFACE:
Whether you agree or not, many feel that Squire has a unique Bass sound - some of this is due to using a "pick" vice fingers -- some of this is due to using "piano wires" as strings; as well as the various filters they may be applied.
However - In Chris' own words he notice a distinct change in the sound of his Rickenbacker 4001, as early as 1966, when he repeatedly did "THIS" to it.
QUESTION: What did Chris have done to his Bass that distinquished it so early, compared to the other 4001s that became so popular in the late 60s?
Have fun!! :-)

He removed the finish. He never used "piano wires" as strings, he's always used Rotosound bass strings.
The other answers on signal-splitting on excellent, but I had to stick to the Squire interview... Report It
