It may not be his most complicated bass line. But, man, does it absolutely drive you. That underlying du-duh-du is one of the most perfect grooves ever.
I’d agree that it’s not his MOST complicated, but that’s because everything Les does is so god damn nuts!! In the grand scheme of things, this is def a tricky baseline! And I’d agree man it sure does just absolutely drive you, a perfect groove indeed!
Dude that was excellent! I've been around along time and I'm now just discovering Primus. Lot's of respect for Claypool's mad talent. I want to love that band but I've never been a huge fan of percussive bass playing and their songs are not what I'm used to. Not sure how to categorize them. however this song and the bass line is just so damn awesome.
PRIMUS SUX! I think you just about successfully auditioned for any band on the planet. The only thing missing was Les’ little signature hand gesture at the end.
Primus sux big time!!!! Lol, thank you so much for the kind words my man, now if only I could get a proper band looking for a bassist to see this video I'd be set! Lol, thanks for watching
I love how you don't just play the notes from the paper but even the little filler notes Les played on it... Great job and wonderful to see you had so much fun doing it, too...
Your fingers are like lightning on the changes and that Ricki seriously has just the right top‐end growling treble.. EXCELLENCE!!👊🤜👏👏👏👏✊️ (I grew up in the 90s too 😁)
Tom Knott thanks man, I agree!!! Whilst most of these songs were not originally performed on a ric, I’ll argue to the grave that damn near anything will sound better on one 😎😎
Amazing cover dude ! Love the tone , may I ask for your setup ? It was only the backer or did it have some crunch effect ?? Carry on with Primus stuff !
Thanks so much man, I really, really appreciate it!! Les is my fucking GUY!! I'd say my top 3 bassists in order are Geddy Lee, Les Claypool, and Mike Rutherford. Geddy was my first inspiration as a bassist, but as soon as I heard Les my mind was absolutely exploded lol, he quickly climbed the ranks to being my #2 fav player!
@@Maximus091768 hmm, always thought that was guitar, but perhaps I’m wrong! I’ll have to investigate some primus vids, thanks! Either way, hope I got the other 99% of the tune 😂😂
the sound of the Rickenbacker bass is perfect for this song
Daniel Zarth I agree! Glad you dug thanks a lot man!
It may not be his most complicated bass line. But, man, does it absolutely drive you. That underlying du-duh-du is one of the most perfect grooves ever.
It’s crazy that this bassline isn’t considered complicated
@@rubintuesdayI was about to say that, that's not complicated? Its rock hard solid to learn, what a joke of a thing to say man
@@rubintuesdaywell it isn`t.
I’d agree that it’s not his MOST complicated, but that’s because everything Les does is so god damn nuts!! In the grand scheme of things, this is def a tricky baseline! And I’d agree man it sure does just absolutely drive you, a perfect groove indeed!
@@natekalnitzbass9446saying this is his least complicated bassline is like saying it's his least expensive pagani
You even got the Claypool knee going! Good work!
That’s my fav part about claypool, his dances are toooo fun! Thank you very much!
Nice stomping and great playing
EPIC!! Loved hearing this on a Rickenbacker!!!!
Eric Burris thanks man!! :) it was a blast to play on a ric, the Primus catalogue translates surprisingly well !
I saw at least 30 cover of this song and guess what? This is the best cover...by tone, tehnique etc.. Keep playing man :)
I’ve seen like 100 bass covers of this song and this is by far the best. Exceptional playing and perfect tone. Bravo
That seriously means so much to me man, thank you so much!!!
Sounds good my dude! Nice playing!
SleepDreamRepeat thanks so much! I appreciate it 😄
Great cover. Claypool’s sheer creativity and technical ability on the bass are mind boggling.
This is one of best covers of the song
Doing this on a ric is crazy and you have my respect for doing it. Sounds amazing.
Dude!!! This is awesome!! Great job!
tstahlfsu thanks so much, really appreciate it! :)

Hawh! Well done! You’ve nailed all of the expressive bits too!

sputnut from the paper

Andres Jimenez thank you so much!!! That means a lot to me 😁😁

Your fingers are like lightning on the changes and that Ricki seriously has just the right top‐end growling treble..
EXCELLENCE!!👊🤜👏👏👏👏✊️
(I grew up in the 90s too 😁)
Amazing. 👍
You slaughtered this cover, man. Also good to see a bass cover with someone jamming out, not straight faced in a chair lol
You make it look so easy!
You didn’t just cover this song, you fucking killed it, wow, that was an incredible cover
That’s awesome dude spettacolooooo!!! 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Fantastic - a fun song, and it looked like you had a lot of fun playing it!
Thanks James!! It was a blast, glad you enjoyed!
Nice playing! The beard’s even better!
Using a Rickenbacker for Primus sounds kinda like if 70s era Rush covered Primus 😂
I LOVE IT 😍
I LOVE that comparison!! Two of my favorite bands in one comment, nice! 🤩🤩 thanks a ton friend, glad you enjoyed it!
or Cliff era Metallica
Wow, that was cool af! Great playing!
SOULR Power glad you thought so, thanks so much!
That is cool as hell!

schnitzelnudel thank you kindly!
This is great. I love the growl of a Rickenbacker.
Subscribed for the Ric...
Comment...because you are Awesome! Cheers
Killer tone
this is fantastic bro
Sick!
Si cierras los ojos, juras que Les está tocando el bajo.
Muy bueno!
Ooooooooooooooooo ya have to go a long way to beat a Rickenbacker bass for sheer *gorge-fuss-ness!!* A wise choice, dude 👍👍👍
Tom Knott thanks man, I agree!!! Whilst most of these songs were not originally performed on a ric, I’ll argue to the grave that damn near anything will sound better on one 😎😎
Oh yes!
Hell yeah brother! Thanks for checking this out!
Nailed it!
krunnky thank ya kindly!
Holy Fuck dude! That was FUCKING AWESOME!!!
I am 100% convinced Les has a total of three hands.
Me too man, dude is friggin NUTS!!
Legendary

Sir. I believe Wynonas big brown beaver resides on your chin! Class.
Nice bass and cover!
Thanks much!!

Gonz Albornoz muchos gracias!!!

Excelente amigo .....salió igual a Les Claypool.....Saludos desde Chile .....
It's good to see Tormund Giantsbane trying to stay active after he helped win the war against the White Walkers.
sandollor BAHAHAHA best comment yet 🙌🏻🙌🏻 once I couldn’t win over the big woman, I turned my eyes to the big guitar instead
🙌🏼
Bom trabalho, Les. Já pode tirar a fantasia agora.
HAHAHA you are too kind, thank you so much my friend!
@@natekalnitzbass9446 good job, my friend! Awesome!
Felipe Lemos thanks man, you rock!!!
@@natekalnitzbass9446 all the best bro!! 🤘🏾
That was sick and I love way your hair and beard are styled
gabrielle dormuth thank you kindly :)
Amazing cover dude ! Love the tone , may I ask for your setup ? It was only the backer or did it have some crunch effect ??
Carry on with Primus stuff !
damn...!!!
❤️
u da mAN :*
Probably the best bass part ever written. Where the hell did that come from?
Les Claypool: *What do you mean this bass isn't a guitar?*
Holy shit u rule
This is fuckin sick
Excellent playing! I'd be interested to know how to get your bass to sound like that. My bass sounds far too acoustic to match the song
thanks man! I use D'Addario nickel wound strings, and EBS Multipcomp Compressor, and a Sansamp GED-YYZ stompbox! Hope this is helpful :)
Man that's the info I've been looking for! Awesome job
very hard
subbed
man this dude looks like he was born to play bass
Les Claypool’s song with Cliff’s bass
Killer job sir! Can we be best friends? haha!
From 1:55 to 2:17 😍
Great job, man....Wow!
How would you rank Les Claypool among your fav Bassists?
Thanks so much man, I really, really appreciate it!! Les is my fucking GUY!! I'd say my top 3 bassists in order are Geddy Lee, Les Claypool, and Mike Rutherford. Geddy was my first inspiration as a bassist, but as soon as I heard Les my mind was absolutely exploded lol, he quickly climbed the ranks to being my #2 fav player!
The beard tho 👍
Thanks man!!
Hes even got the stomp goin on😂
It’s the only way to play this song correctly 😂
Nice technique, I thought of this more a slap but you're doing awesome with three plucking fingers?
now all you need is a really weird cowboy costume and your set
Lol facts!
100 puntos
Next time you need to dance like Les.
What pedal do you use on this song??
Benjamin Mesina im using a GED-YYZ!
thas a pretty rick
Mister Pep-Aae thank you good sir! (Frog?)
it aint a primus cover 'les'n that leg's a goin'
Excellent. What happened at 1:21?
Thanks man!! What are you referencing at 1:21? Perhaps the timing is a bit off hahaha, other than that not quite sure what you’re referring to!
@@natekalnitzbass9446 I hear a quick descending lick right around there
@@Maximus091768 hmm, always thought that was guitar, but perhaps I’m wrong! I’ll have to investigate some primus vids, thanks! Either way, hope I got the other 99% of the tune 😂😂
@@natekalnitzbass9446 I listened 1,000 times. Thought it was bass, then guitar…. It sounds like his bass tho
@@Maximus091768 hmmmm, in that case my bad!
Is Daniel Stern your dad? lol. Great cover man. sounds great.
Adrion Baker LMAO 🤣🤣 I appreciate it thanks a ton!!
I feel like I'm watching Donald duck dunn play
Is that a Rickenbacker 4003?
Tommy McCarthy it most certainly is!!
@@natekalnitzbass9446 So jealous. I want one so bad
@@skinnerthepunk I can't recommend it enough man, she's my favorite bass for sure!!
When you only look at the bass he starts to look like Les claypool lmao must be the dancing..
like me, its power of the beard ! ( only i'm not as great as this guy ) Look out Les ~
Yessir!! Everyone knows that power comes from the beard, and that pee is stored in the balls, just basic facts of life!!
Uh, change your handle to
Nate Kalnitz Bass ROCKS!!!
Everything sounds better on a Rick
The Darkrunner I agree!!
You're consistently missing a triplet
Primus sucks👍👍👍
