Let me say it first... Pete Wentz.

ummm... honestly idk about any that do besides pete

bhass · #4 07-09-2009, 01:25 PM

Isn't the only reason Pete is playing Squire is because he is payed to?

kon_man · #5 07-09-2009, 01:25 PM

would you really call Pete Wentz a proffesional?

NOVAX · #6 07-09-2009, 01:26 PM

Doesnt Wentz use custom shop P's made to look like his Squire Signature?
He's said to sport the 57 reissue AV also.
Clarence "Gatemouth' Brown used a Squier strat.

Hey hey hey, I made the post there so the name could be out of the way. No Pete bashing, we're here for all pro bassists that use the Squire.

No theres Mike Dirnt also, and don't forget Frank Bello and Deryck Wibley

and then Pete Wentz

all of them have their own signature bass model and play it on stage

and as for Pete Wentz, he has to modify his Squier bass to make it sound better. but its still turned down hella

Scott Carlson of Repulsion used a Squier P bass back in the day.

Pretty sure Mike Dirnt play's his vintage Fender on stage mostly, or his Fender signature model.

LCW · #14 07-09-2009, 04:38 PM

besides the ones listed i dunno.

If i was pro i would play a signature squier p , basically it would be the cv sonic blue p bass with 1/4 pounders, a gotoh 201 bridge, 500k pot , no tone pot, and a jazz width neck in maple with matching headstock if they gave me a squier like that i would endorse it. I would not endorse a fresh off the line affinity.

I'm sure Chris Squire is one of the few who exclusively uses Squire basses.

If you mean Squier basses, then that's a different story altogether.

Not exactly sure I can count him as a bassist. I'm not sure he's worthy of the honor.

Then of course, there's the biggest bassist in existence...*Drum roll*

ME!!!

duh!
