 As a bassist, Wright utilizes a distinct technique to create a sound that relies on frequencies traditionally associated with a guitar.He took the inspiration for his amplification (involving a Marshall solid state head through a Marshall guitar 4x12 cabinet) from Lemmy Kilmister of Motörhead, and has cited jazz bassists such as Jimmy Blanton and Paul Chambers as influential players.His hard-picked, fast-fretted playing is highly respected among bassists, and has been praised by Mike Watt of The Minutemen, among other musicians.
