risingson Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 I love Squarepusher and have been listening to him since I was 17 but I've never listened to him for his bass playing. Not that I consider him to be a bad player or anything, but in the broader context of his music, I often forget he's a bass player because his bass sounds so far removed from what I associate the sound of a bass to be like. I find a lot of his music really inspiring. He owes a hell of a lot to Daft Punk for that LED mask though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacDaddy Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 My 2x10 Tech combo used to be his. It's what he used at the Albert Hall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xilddx Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Incredible stuff isn't it. He's a true musician, he's making his vision come true, and he knows what his vision is and how to make it reality. That's amazing given what his vision actually is! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike formerly of the Bass Merchant is his go-to guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conan Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 He is obviously extremely intelligent, and he is a phenomenal bass player - but a lot of his stuff leaves me cold. If he played that material but with a guitar round his neck, would he be so well regarded here? I doubt it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 I went to see my double bass luthier last year. Another client arrived and I had to hassle him to move his car so I could get out. Turns out it was Tom Jenkinson! (Squarepusher) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just thought he was an awesome composer and programmer... and he is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
