0:54 - Duchess And The Proverbial Mind Spread (Brown Album)
1:10 - Is It Luck? (Sailing the Seas of Cheese)
1:26 - Amanitas (Of Fungi and Foe) [Les Claypool Solo]
1:52 - Groundhog's Day (Fizzle Fry)

[ChuckDimeCliff]

To everyone asking, the song that starts at 1:26 is "Amanitas" by Les Claypool off his "Of Fungi and Foe" solo album.

[HellishPunch]

..."I'm trying to play"...

[DreyzieArt]

Man, I would love a full cover of Southbound Pachyderm by this guy. It sounded amazing at the end.

[russrtspooling]

You sir have some les claypool in ya. Very well done.

[MichaelEMJAYARE]

If only there were companies that would have this 32” scale, 29 fret neck. For fucks sake that is part of the extreme, delicious playability of this bass.

[leitnerjoe]

@ruaridouglas no problem: it's american life, dutchess, is it luck, amanitas (les claypool), groundhog's day and southbound pachyderm... thanks!!!

[transfrmpnguinz]

You're the only person I've seen who starts those triplets in American Life with a down stroke :O nice job!

[oldtomfoolery]

You are quite talented. The person who crafted that replica bass is also quite talented. Bravo to you both

[Riotmagg]

This is fucking incredible! the transition into southbound was absolutely phenomenal

[scottcooneymusic]

Yes sir! Your tone is spot on my friend. Groundhog Day is such a cool groove.

[thepyroking]

How do you have several replica basses of Les's?

[MrTw]

Dude, you are so freaking good! Love the Primus covers!

[ckbass]

Anyone good enough to play Claypool's music can surely make his own. I have seen a video of his with his own material before. However, I understand where you are coming from, but Claypool's music is just so much fun! :D

[TheCrocodillian]

Hi leitnerjoe, when you are raking do you use 1 or two fingers ?

[alexcomixinc]

When he transitions from Groundhog’s Day to Southbound Pachyderm at 2:17, it seem like something Primus would do live.

[Employee]

Awesome job. A small tip, after hitting the G at the beginning of the American Life riff, start with upstrokes. It places the accent on the downbeat and sounds a lot clearer. Not a criticism, I wish I could play this well.

[wannyyydilliamsss]

You nailed Groundhogs, nicely done. Also I want that bass SO badly!

[TimElfring]

Read the discription. It's a tribute to Les's bass built by a luthier friend of his.

[ianrasmussen]

This is so fucking awesome. As an upcoming bassist in love with how primus incorporates the bass as the "main"/melodic instrument I hope to be able to play like this in the near future!!!
