On this 2006 The Guardian interview, it reads: "These days Jenkinson favours 'a custom-made six-string bass I had made by Mike at Iceni Music. It's a toss-up between that and my Warwick 6, which is like a tree trunk with strings. The best four-string I had was a Music Man Sabre.' "

The custom-made six-string bass he refers to is the Zoot Bass, made by Mike Walsh. The 4 string is the Ernie Ball Music Man Classic Sabre. Among bass forums, the Warwick six string is commonly believed to be a modified Corvette Bubinga 6.

This page (http://www.guitarporn.co.uk/post/3369857993/squarepusher-and-warwick-corvette) says: "Squarepusher and modified 6-String Warwick Corvette Bass. Tom Jenkinson is an incredible bassist, and is shown here with his heavily modified Warwick Corvette."

This bass forum page (http://forum.bass-arena.com/threads/squarepusher-playing-a-corvette.7835/) has speculations about an extra pickup: "that looks like a bubinga corvette, right ? seems like it has an additional neck pickup...", "Looks like bubinga 6 string with black hardware... maybe a NT? I bet the extra pickup is a MIDI pickup too..." and "It's a regular bubinga Corvette 6 string with a midi pickup."
