how do you get that sound? its like weird but sweet, like only the impact of the strings comes through, no actual bass. i have the digitech BP200 so if anyone has suggestions for that fire away. thanks! |

He just basically did a combo of his thumb on his right and tapped the fingerboard on his left. |

I think he also implemented the same, in parts of lacquerhead, although more distorted.

If I ever had to do it live I would play a 5er and ghost it |

anyways in summation i think technique only gets you so far, and if you're anal enough about tone like i am, then you'll always be left frustrated trying to "master" the things claypool does...
edit: after seeing the link, that shows where hes muting with his bicep.
