Members vanlatte Posted May 13, 2009 Members Share Posted May 13, 2009 On the way to work I heard "Yours is no disgrace" on Xm. Dayum, Chris Squire had some awesome tone! Anyone know what he used on that song? Has a hell of a bite and growl to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members lug Posted May 13, 2009 Members Share Posted May 13, 2009 Rickenbacker? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jasper383 Posted May 13, 2009 Members Share Posted May 13, 2009 Rickenbacker (maybe a Jazz Bass?) with new Rotosound rounds. There's a Youtube out there with Squire rehearsing with Yes playing a Jazz Bass. He sounds just like he does on the Ric. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members hi.flyer Posted May 13, 2009 Members Share Posted May 13, 2009 Definitely one of my faves. He bi-amped, right? Or did the Ric-o-sound thing? I'd like to fake that somehow maybe, since I'll probably never get a real Ric () Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CMS Author Craig Vecchione Posted May 13, 2009 CMS Author Share Posted May 13, 2009 Squire always sounds like Squire. I saw them several years ago, and at one point he was using the green P-bass. Sounded just like the Ric. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshall on the bridge, SVT on the neck. That's been his rig for almost forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's been his rig for almost forever. if you read the BP link, he thinks the bridge pickup distorted is too nasally. Sounds like he uses it the other way.
