The Rickenbacker 4001CS was a limited-edition series electric bass guitar based on Chris Squire’s 1964 British model RM1999. Only 1,000 were made between 1991 and 2000. Features include horseshoe bridge pickup, toaster neck pickup, no body binding, mono output, no neck binding, and Cream Colorglo finish. The 4001CS is another instrument from the Limited Edition C series which also includes the 4001C64 and 4001C64S. Based on the RM1999 model, the 4001CS used dot inlays and unbound neck construction based after the RM1999 model.

In 1964, while 17 and working in a music store, Chris Squire bought his famous RM1999 bass that he used in Syn, Yes, and XYZ. The RM1999 was one of four 4001S imported to the UK. In 1990, during an interview on "Star Licks", he announced that Rickenbacker would release a copied version of his bass.
