Great vids. Although I am not a big fan of the genre he plays, I can appreciate the mastery he has of the fret less bass.

I feel the same way about

Jaco's great. Manring studied under him for awhile, back in the 80s I think.

I DO like a lot of

Especially his work with Béla Fleck and the Flecktones.

Bill Dickens is also amazing.

Yup. Too bad about Jaco, I would have loved to see what he would have matured into.

I like Mark Sandman from Morphine a lot. He wasn't particularly gifted, but he had a unique approach, and the low down groove with the baritone sax gave the band a great sound.

I've never heard of Morphine before. I'll definitely give it a deeper look.

Thanks.

Morphine is a great band. You're right lx, he wasn't all that technically impressive but he had that slight rythmic lag to each note that made their groves extra thick. I look forward to watching whatever you posted when I'm back home and not on my phone for the weekend. I used to have a '77 fender fretless but like a typical 19 year old dipshit I sold it in college for weed and top ramen money. I've never forgiven myself for that.

Edit: was a great band.

jacos probably my fave. definitely my fave bassist.

Good stuff Owens. Primus is kind of weird band for me. They're interesting to listen to, but I'm not that crazy about them. Very riff oriented, but there's a lot of neat stuff going on in the tunes. Claypool is a huge talent in any case.

[Monkey]

Les Claypool and the Holy Mackrel is a great album. It's some of Les' home recordings compiled and finished into songs. It's not as "wacky" as Primus can be.
