Me playing "Tommy the Cat" by Primus. I picked this out by ear and by watching Les in concert. None of the tab I've found for this song's main riff is even close to correct (not even the officially published Primus tab books), although a couple YouTube instructional videos I've seen on it come close. The bass is an Ernie Ball MusicMan Bongo 5-string dual-humbucker (no piezo) bass. Recorded by running my pedal board through a cheap NADY TMP-2 tube mic preamp and into my PC's line-in jack.

  • Nice bass, but even if this isn't right, I still enjoyed it.

  • @MajoraMasks66 This is right.

  • Nice! By the way, where did you get that epic bass?

  • @darkmatterdoesit Guitar Center

  • Have you been in the neck pickup or both? I just wondered

  • @MrTurbonizzle This was recorded with an even split between neck and bridge pickups.

  • @mosstica Um, no, this is Primus (Les Claypool).

  • So there is someone on youtube who can actually get the groove right in this tune! Nice cover.
