Well I love that overdriven Claypool tone that he uses on Antipop and Grand Pecking Order. I know for these albums he uses this bass: 
I talked to my bass teacher who loves Primus and he says it's because of the Carl Thompson pickups. I don't know if I believe him. I've tried to recreate that sound and this is how I do it.
1. Neck pickup on Jazz Bass
2. Punch on BP200
3. Drive on 10 on Punch Factory
4. Distortion from recording on comp (  )
So rate my sound, and give me suggestions to make it sexier! http://www.myspace.com/petercroce

I'm playing a Jazz (Not Fender, but Jazz Pickups) bass on that stuff except for Iggy's Riff, that's my 6.

I have a live video of primus at some german festival in 97, where les uses his carl thompson 4 for that solo, it just doesn't have the clarity of the jazz. The carl thompson sounded a little muffled, mayb thats what he wanted. |

2. Too much distortion on Laquerhead.
3. Gotta play with the beat, man. Try practicing with a metronome as it helps tremendously.
