Primus' "Fisticuffs" on bass - LRRG

Here is another tune from the Brown album. It seems that my old skankified Rickenbacker matches best with the mud and dirt of the Brown Album. Of course, Brain (the drummer) plays a good deal of interesting fills to keep a bass player busy. Once the main riff is learned, the song is rather easy.

DISCLAIMER: In no way do I claim to play Les like Les. There is only one Les, after all. I am a cheap knock-off with a Rickenbacker, but I usually get away with it.

That's a really awsome rendition of my fave Primus song. That song actually made me turn to boxing as a form of exercise (and knocking people out's fun too). I can't really see, are you playing a 5 string, or just a 4 string? I can't seem to play it on my four string, thats why. Anyway, great job, I love how it sounds!

Thank you. And my Rick is a four-string. The best way to play it on a four string is to have no idea that you cannot play it on a four-string. Much like the Coyote doesn't fall unless he looks down first. You end up playing the tune different from the "official" version, but sound-wise, it suffices.

And you are well-known to those on whose videos you comment as a troll. Look at your channel comments...everyone thinks you are an asshole from something nasty you have said to them. What is sadder, someone who improvises his own bass parts or the pathetic loser that insists on shitting on everyone's video he sees? Sadness is in the eye of the beholder, and this beholder finds you truly pathetic.

Now get the fuck of my channel. This place does not have an open-door policy on assholes.
