[MrBure1010]

this vid inspired me to go buy a bass and learn to play

[alpenbum]

Nice work. One of my favorite Les riffs. Got to seem him play it live in Seattle. Sick!

[pezlo101]

great vid

thanks

[WalMK2]

Great technique on this excellent bassline

[furtree33]

dude this is awesome! If I send you my email could i get the tabs for this or an explanation vid if that would be easier. I have to reiterate how awesome this video is by the way.

[Flabberwocket]

@furtree33 Thanks, but I learned this by ear. Never really been a fan of tabs.

[dcofosho224]

[Bassist700]

kan u lern me 2 play da base?

[PRSGuitarist1]

nice playing. btw how did you set your camera up for that angle?

[Wierdoinc]

Sorry for commenting twice, but how long have you been playing bass?

[Flabberwocket]

@Wierdoinc At the time this video was recorded, I'd been playing for two years. Now I've been playing for a bit over three.

[Wierdoinc]

sweet, first cover I've seen on youtube filmed with a fret cam

[pretentiouspigeon]

Perfect man i love it!

[cutoffs8]

that camera angle is intense. i like this song a lot. very nice. and played very clean.

[richie1303]

mate i love your camera btw lol. and this is the slap bass tht is going to be putting me in the right direction ^^ good playing

[Libanass]

amaizing man!

you're only 16?? :O

[Flabberwocket]

Thanks!

Yep, 16. Until next Tuesday at least. =P

I'm guessing you saw my post in the Modulus Mob on TB? If so, that is a beautiful Flea you have, and your Q5 is absolutely stunning.

[Libanass]

you got that right :-)

I can't wait to see your modulus tone with the SD

I was from two fingers to buy a 1997 Modulus flea purple flake like yours but in five strings, the color is amaizing

than I found a quantum much cheaper than that! the quantum has been from a long time my dream :)

[Flabberwocket]

Very nice! I've always loved the Quantums.

I should be getting some recordings up with the Flea soon. I just need a new sound card - the one I have now is fried.

[shinshikamaru]

I can't very well...are you double thumping? or is it just two fast normal slap am i hearing?

[silentcell88]

Man you gotta learn My Friend Fats and play it for us.Your one of the only people doing Claypool justice on Youtube.

[brennan61]

Jayziz! That's some damned fine beeboppin' and scattin' around there.

[BomanTheBear]

Wish I could give you six stars. Hella badass, dude.

[Galdasturis]

very very nice. :)

[Thundalipz]

Kick ass bro.

[dtonbassist]

[erasermcfleafly]

dude are you fuckin serious!? it sounds absolutely perfect!! omfg

[tsup77]

Nice ATK man! Great cover too. What pup selector position you using?

[Flabberwocket]

Thanks! Yeah, I got it back earlier this year when MusiciansFriend was blowing them out for less than half off, and it's become by far the favorite of my basses.

As for the pup selector position, I had it set to where it was pointing away from the volume knob (I can't remember for the life of me what the positions are called) to give it that nice MM-esque sound.

[tsup77]

Nice, I wanted a 750KA soooo bad when they were blowing em out, too bad I was broke.. But I still have my 3ex1, and I love that bass! ATKs are great huh? PS The swtch in bridge position is Attack, then Bright, then Trad. Rock On ATK brother =]

[puentetrebol]

[Shinsen88]

Very nice! I started learning this song the other day. So much fun to play (like most of Les's stuff!).

[puentetrebol]
