here are some choice clips.

YouTube - Squarepusher - The Culture Show Bass Solo - live on 'the culture show', low visual quality but whatever.

YouTube - Squarepusher - My Sound - 'my sound' from the 'music is a rotted one note' album, fantastic track.

YouTube - Squarepusher - Delta-V live @ melkweg 28/11/2008 - again horrible visual quality but you get the gitst. track is called 'delta-v' from his last album 'just a souvenir'.

while he's not technically a 'rock' bassist, if you don't think that last clip rocks even just a little then you're either dead or far too narrow minded to bother ever conversing with again hahaha.

I voted Entwistle but think Flea is great as well, just a totally different sort of bass player. Les Claypool and Robert Trujillo top my bassists league with an honorable mention to Mark King of Level 42, a great "slap" bassist.

Voted for John Entwistle and for me along with Geddy Lee and John Paul Jones they are 3 of the best bassists ever.

Video 1: a bunch of noise.

Video 2: some nice, relaxing, elevator music.

Video 3: very cool. Of course, it sounds very Les Claypool-ish.
