I was not a bass player when Smooth Criminal covered by alien ant farm was out and I didn't realize til I went back and looked at the video, he's using a KL brase.
I don't want to sound like a hater, but, it really surprised me to see such an upper crust instrument in such a.... mediocre shall I say? band.
Dunno, just thought some people might want to know. and it was also a message to all those that say that you can't fit an "elfish" bass like a brase into a band setting.
have their been any other basses bassist pairings that really surprised anyone else here?

NOTE: I am in no way saying he is a bad player, but I'm just saying, the coralation wasn't there in my mind between AAF and A brase, but that may just be me

Really annoying whiney borderline nu-metal all around, but a few tracks had really good bass playing.

I've heard what he can do outside of AAF and believe me, he's in the top percentile of bassists I've heard in my life. He can nail everything fromthe "nu-metal" school all the way up to complex fusion grooves and Jaco-esque solo play. Trust me, AAF never gave him the opportunity to show his real-world capabilities!

That bass was reportedly destroyed in a traffic wreck in Europe that IIRC put the whole band in the emergency room. Fender's CS then made him his current bass.

|  | Working on his world citizenship... | | Join Date: Oct 2002 Location: The Colonies | | | Tye played in a Primus cover band before AAF, so he's got all the "Claypool-isms" down, plus there's some very tasty melodic work on some of the AAF album tracks. He's up there with Ryan Martinie as being among the best bassists to come out of the whole "nu-metal" thing. I'd be interested to hear what he's up to now. |

He also had a custom fender in the works for him, but i think something fell through with that deal, i'm not sure. But i don't think his bass outweighs the music he played. When i saw them live, the bass was ALWAYS strong in the mix and that just pushed the music further.
Awesome bass too. |

Many bassists or other musicians for that fact, when they start playing for a more commercial group, tend to play for the song... not to showcase every Vic/Jaco/Les/Flea lick they have in their vocabulary. 
Along with this KL, that custom Fender 6 suits him, his playing and his sense of humour.
Anybody have a pic of that other 6'er that he built for himself? |
