I liked the rig roundup, but technically, Chris has
used a handful of 4001s, (4003s?). And also, on his "fish out of water" solo record, I would like to know a little more of what Chris
worked with to pull off that formidable task of making an awesome record with bass guitar sounding so perfectly in place. I don't know anyone else (in rock and roll at least) that has even attempted
what Chris pulled off!
Great record, wonderful songs, still a classic that I have listened to many times a year since I discovered it!
Chris had to have stretched his arsenal a bit to pull this off.

Anyone know any further details?
thanks!
