I have heard a lot of people rave about P-nut like he's Flea or something, and now he has a new Warwick sig bass. What's the deal? Did he used to be in some great band or something? If it's just 311, I don't see what all the fuss is about.
Enlighten me

I mean, you mention Flea, look at him, he's no virtuoso by any stretch of imagination, but it didn't stop Modulus givng him a sig bass. |

Hell, I lay down solid low end. Flea is different; He has mad chops, and was an innovator, too. I'll check out 311's old stuff, though.

| | | | Actually P-Nut is my biggest influence and I'm very proud of him.
He truly is a great bassist. Never too flashy, but never boring P-Nut always lays down the groove.
Definately check out 311's first two albums Music (93) and Grassroots (94)
Yo P-Nut! Beat that thing! |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Feb 2005 Location: Goldsboro / Raleigh NC | | | Last night I came home after being at a New Years Eve dance to see Dick Clarks Rockin' New Year or wahtever. So this band was on and there was a wicked cool bass line and I looked at the bassist to see he had a warwick. (Humbucker with a jazz pickup) I thought "That might be 311???" seing as I'd hardly heard their stuff, and afterwards I figured out that it was them.
I want more! It was tight, tight groove. I pick him over Flea personally since I've heard my friends 311 since then.

BTW, I really dig P-Nut. Grassroots kicks major rear. Homebrew baby!
