Christopher Wolstenholme is using a sunburst Fireglo Rickenbacker 4001 bass live during the Black Holes and Revelations tour. He plays those songs with a plectrum (partially), see plectrums for more information.
He isn't playing a 4001, but a 4003. Note this :
- Uncovered bridge PU on Chris' bass (4001 = uncovered | 4003 = covered)
- Mono output jack on Chris' bass (4001 = mono | 4003 = stereo & mono (switchable))
