Claypool playing a Ric

And that's not all, he got that Rick from Geddy Lee.
-
he should give it back. :mrgreen:
-
Talk about pointless wanking. :rolleyes:
-
Now Claypool I can stand up for, Bulb I was open to your rectal diagnosis.
I found interesting for one , funk/slap like or not being played on Ric and second Claypool, like many bassists sounds pretty much the same regardless of what he is playing.
-
Stand up for him? Claypool doesn't need defending, you either like him or not. And with him, there doesn't seem to be a middle ground.

LMFAO

It reduces the role of a bass to that of a percussion instrument. Horses for courses. I see my role as a bass player more as someone who enhances harmonic aspects by emphasizing or de-emphasizing them.

And we would not have it any other way.
To me Les's magic is when he plays with Larry & Primus. When I saw him on the Mike Douglas Show back in the 80's with his 6 string Rainbow bass, playing sloppy primitive & percussive, to me, it was unlike any other bass player I have seen / heard.
The other unique thing about Primus is the band is built around supporting the bass, it's a bass driven band that was actually commercial for wider audience back then. Les has built a Zappa like following, with fans that seem like Zappa fans to me (really weird, stoned, men, women and younger people ).

Yeah people people don't seem to be in the middle on Primus & Claypool it seems as Dave pointed out- you love him or hate him.

You want funk on a Ric? I'll give you funk on a Ric.

I'm not totally sure it's a Ric in that recording.

Embedding is disbaled on that video.
That Rick may have just been a prop for the video.

I saw a vid once of a famous funk player with a 4005. Anyone?
-
Can't recall who had a 4005 but Stanley Clarke had a 4000:

Could be a jazz bass but then again Rick basses were figured prominently on some of his album covers and I've never seen a picture of him with another kind of bass. Sounds like a Rick to me, very smooth.

Larry Johnson (yes, not Graham, or Louis Johnson) plays a 4001 (sounds like it has the cap).
