Les Claypool

I am sure there are a bunch of threads out there, but I have spent the morning today watching a bunch of stuff on you tube and this guy is just an animal!!! No I am not just realizing it now, I am just reaffirming it!!! OMG!!!
Can anyone explain how he gets that sound? He seems to play so very lightly and the sound is SO HUGE!! I am sure there is an ungodly amount of volume, but how does all that work?

I have no idea how he gets his tone. But, like you said, he is an animal on the bass.

He gets his tone from God. Not particularly a strong over zealous religious belief, but that God has chosen for him to speak to us mere mortals through his incredible talent. God has sent many prophets to us before, like Vic, Jaco, Entwistle. All who all tapped into the same enlightenment and spread it all over our waiting ears.
Pray to the Claypool, practice his thumping.

Can you tell me how God has Les set his amp for that tone??
