He's pretty good. I used to love their old one called Hydroponic or something. He's got a good 2 hand slap technique. I saw a video of him jumping around doing these big crazy kicks while he was slapping away, pretty nifty. Their drummer isn't too shabby either, but the singers can get annoying. Haven't listened to them in like 5 years though. I heard he learned bass by the Suzuki Method?

I like him a lot, and even though I don't like the feel of Warwick necks, he's the main reason I've thought about picking one up used at some point. Saw 311 on Conan a few months ago, and he rocked.

P-nuts pretty tight. deff good grooves and heavy bass.

i wouldnt say that warwick necks have a bad feel to them. theyre really smooth and allow for flexible styles to be played. since ive had my new warwick thumb ive never been happier. cant get any better than a warwick in my opinion.

wut kind of warwicks does p-nut play? i think ive seen him use a thumb, but im not sure.

Exactly. "Music" is my favorite album of theirs.

P-Nut is the reason I wanted to play bass. He made it sound so fun. He is one of my all-time favorite players.

The recent DVD has some good stuff.
I have always been a little surprised how much more attention Flea gets at Talk Bass
over P-Nut...seems like there's 10 Flea threads to every 1 Nut thread.

+1 Music and Grassroots ROCKS. I have seen them live over 20 times and P-NUT keeps getting better and more creative. By far one of my favorite bass players!

P-Nut is my biggest influence! He is the exact definition of what a good bass player should be. Like stated earlier he always lays it down in the pocket and never overplays. Every now and then he will use his flash but mostly he stays in the pocket with the grooviest lines.


Favorite basslines?

"P-Nut change it up! One time for ya mind! Watch out!"

The slap bass line in "Nutsymptom" off of Grassroots is badass.

His solo in "Cali Soca" is badass as well!

Such a good player

"I slip only when P-Nut gets me baked from that shake"

Hell yeah I have that DVD its so funny. P-Nut and Chad Sexton make an incredibly good rhythm section. They lay down some of the sweetest grooves. Definately one of the better rythm sections out there in the world of rock. "Rock" is a funny thing to put 311 in though, they are a little bit of everything.

They can do some disco some latin some jazz some funk some dub reggae some calypso some smooth jazz some metal some rock some punk some ska.


Such talented musicians, and there live show is incredible.

The new DVD really captures the euphoria of a live 311 show.
