Charles Berthoud on Les Claypool’s Weirdest, Wildest, and Hardest Bass Lines
In today’s daily bass video, Charles Berthoud dives into the wonderfully weird world of Les Claypool, the bassist and frontman of Primus (and more). Known for their off-the-wall approach to music, Primus has built a cult following by leaning into the unconventional — and Les’s bass lines are no exception.
Charles takes us through six standout tracks, breaking down the genius behind Claypool’s unique style:
- DMV (0:58)
- Is It Luck? (2:22)
- Lacquer Head (3:58)
- Master of Puppets (5:25)
- I Play MOP (6:34)
- Why They’re Popular (7:38)
