this is interesting: http://www.yesworld.com/images/galle...ages/mot37.htm
Chris Squire appears to be using a Lakland P-bass on Yes's upcoming album. I've never seen him use a P-bass before -- I've seen him with the obligatory Ric, of course, as well as a 70's Jazz, that green Mouridian, an 8-string, and the triple-neck behemoth, but not a P-bass. weird.
there's also a picture of a fretless Warwick on the site, but I don't think that's as interesting as the P-bass. (sorry, Warwick fans) http://www.yesworld.com/images/galle...o/pages/15.htm

by the way, that "triple neck behemoth that was mentioned earlier is a WAL, custom made in 1973 for Roger Newell of Rick Wakeman's English Rock Ensemble. Chris bought it later, and it is currently (as of 1995) on loan to the Hard Rock Cafe in New York. The three necks offer a four string fretted, four string fretless, and six string fretted, with strings paired in octaves and tuned A-D-G.

I actually have a post of me playing Long Distance Runaround on my Jazz bass over in the Recordings forum called "Me..Recorded" its alright, but as those guys pointed out, I need some more work with the Metronome at certain parts of the song

Christopher Squire is the father of progressive rock bass period.His use of harmonics on his song "the fish" was very much pre jaco.1972. No one had ever multi tracked bass parts before that.
Yes is the most amazing rock band i have ever witnessed in my life.I saw them again last year and they were incredible.

Yeah, Chris Squire is pretty much "the man" when it comes to prog-rock bass. Between Squire and Paul McCartney, the bass guitar became an instrument that I absolutely had to play. Some of my favorite Chris Squire moments in no particular order:
Heart of the Sunrise
Starship Trooper
Roundabout (of course)

Christopher Russel Edward Squire, between Paul McCartney and John Entwistle they are the fathers of modern bass.
Paul had all the melodies, John had all the treble and Chris broke all the rules. So you can't go wrong in picking anyone of the three.
But as an example, listen to The Messanger off the Ladder. It is so simple but such a great bass part to add to that song by YES. |

I love that tune " Hold out your hand" off of "Fish out of Water". I saw Yes in concert a couple of years ago and I was blown away. Not only did Chris Squire impress me but Steve Howe and the keyboardist Igor Khorsikov really knocked me out. They ended their concert ,before their encore, with Awaken, and it rocked. |

Go to CDnow.com and search for Chris Squire.
I just looked and they have 'Fish Out of Water' and the newer one with Billy Sherwood, 'Conspiracy'.
Well . . . after doing some more checking it looks like they're both on backorder. You may have to special order them. It's worth the wait, though.
Good Luck. |

He knows the right place to sit down and go THUMP THUMP THUMP, and he can be defyingly simple (listen to "Leave It" where he uses a simple melodic line through the whole song against the other parts). What drove me nuts about him live is that he would play in one rhythm, sing in another and move in a third.
