Les Claypool fretless slapping

[CannyBusDriver]

Anyone know songs by Les CLaypool where he slaps on a fretless? It could be any band he's in. Does he play fretless in Oysterhead (my favorite of Claypools many projects). Youtube video links would be awesome, thanks

Tommy the cat
the music video is not great material to study from, but it is slapping on fretless.

Also, dig up some Bob C. Cock and the Yellow Sock. Slaps a different kind of fretless.

Anyone on this thread enjoy slappin da bass of a fretless more than a fretted?

I'm pretty sure he only played his walnut 4-string with Oysterhead. Anyway, My Name Is Mud is another song where he slaps his fretless six string.

Here's a video of him playing it live: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IaCXxqRNNcc

Tommy and Mud seem to be the more famous songs by Primus where he slapped the "rainbow" bass.

-My Name Is Mud
-Tommy The Cat
-Mary The Ice Cube (Has some bits of slap in there)
-Welcome To This World
-Bob

C2B3
-Thai Noodles
-The Big Eyeball In The Sky
-Jackalope
-48 Hours To Go
-Scott Taylor

Frog Brigade
-D's Diner

Les Claypool
-Off-White Guilt (Of Whales And Woe)

Holy Mack
-Granny's Little Yard Gnome

I might be missing a few. He's played some six string fretted stuff, such as Holy Mackerel, live on the rainbow bass.

He has a four string fretless also, he plays The Toys Go Winding Down on it live.

Ya it is hard to fretless slap right, but i personally dont have a fretted and my main style of play is slap. I'd say i am decent at it though. Fretless for lifeeee...

I don't really have a preference, per se, but I do love slappin' a fretless.
