      He often also does down strokes with his fingernails as he does the thumb slap. It's basically the clawhammer banjo style applied to bass. Once you get that down you realize many of Les' basslines are much easier than they sound.

    I must honestly say that Les Claypool has always been my number 1 influence in terms of Bass Playing. Had the the privilege of getting to see Primus live at was was then known as State Theater in Detroit (now The Fillmore) on Halloween night in 1997. First concert I ever attended. I had been listening to Primus for a few years prior to that and after that Concert is when I realized BASS was the instrument that I was meant to play. So a huge thank you to Les Claypool for indirectly influencing me through his incredible bass playing to become a bassist myself for about 16 years now. And a huge thank you also go's out to the late great Peter Steele of Type O Negative. PRIMUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! \m/

      You mean that famous little riff with the triplet harmonics and the crazy sounding open chord? Like @ 3:40 on the music video? (watch?v=aYDfwUJzYQg) That's my favorite part too.
