I saw him play live, but it was so long ago, I can't remember exactly what he was playing...
Now that you mention it, though, I think you're right.

Definitely the Chapman Stick. I think he played it on Security as well.Originally Posted by cincinnati chili
But I agree, it's a marvelous bass line.

How about "Shotgun" by Junior Walker & The All-Stars?
Some more: I might have missed it, but anyone mention "Rescue Me" by Fontella Bass?

In college, I met a girl from LaGrange, Georgia.. When I told her "I heard they got a lot of nice girls there.. Ah how how how", she didn't get the joke.
[Phil ] Castellini celebrated the team's farm system and noted the team had promising prospects who would one day be great Reds -- and then joke then they'd be ex-Reds, saying "of course we're going to lose them". #SellTheTeamBob
Nov. 13, 2007: One of the greatest days in Reds history: John Allen gets the boot!
I don't agree with this at all. They're two completely separate instruments that require completely different skill sets. Is the world's greatest harpist more talented than the world's greatest guitarist? You can't compare the technical abilities of two completely different instruments--they both take a substantial amount of skill to play proficiently. Simply because one allows for the use of electronic sound manipulation doesn't mean it takes any lesser amount of talent.
Regardless of what one considers to be "authentic" (and if we're going to argue from that standpoint, let's just go back to tying horsehair between a bowed stick), "authentic" and "talent" are not mutually exclusive. People tried to make the same case against synthesizer players three decades ago, and electric guitar players before that. Simply because the sound created is electronically enhanced does not mean it takes any lesser amount of talent to play proficiently.some musiscians work harder at their technique than other, while some rely on post-performance manipulation to achieve their results. One sound is obviously more "authentic".
We'll burn that bridge when we get to it.
David Blaine works harder at his technique than David Wells. But David Wells is a lot more compelling.
Stick to your guns.

Was going to say the same thing. Primus sucks.
I really dig that new song from Three Days Grace, "The Animal I have become".
The bass line in the Dave mathew's band song "crush" .
I saw a Primus show once that was opened by Firehose and Cracker.Was going to say the same thing. Primus sucks.

Falling to Pieces by Faith No More
Psychosilocybin by Incubus
Punk It Up by Infectious Grooves
Crawl by Kings of Leon
Fall On Me by King's X
Got the Life by Korn

The Toys Go Winding Down by Primus
Bombtrack by Rage Against the Machine
Funky Monks by Red Hot Chili Peppers

The Pot by Tool
King by Yummy
Down by 311
And of course anything by Les Claypool, Flea, Justin Chancellor, Tim Commerford, or Robert Trujillo is great!

Speaking of the Chapman Stick, how about "New Millennium" by Dream Theater.
And as far as regular ol' bass goes, I like the bass line in "Heaven and Hell" by Sabbath.
