Sweet
Flea is my all time fav but I admit I don't have his chops. Great riffs and tone IMO.
McCartney, The Ox and Jonesy were all big influences on my playing as well as Tommy Shannon (SRV), Dusty Hill (ZZ) and several other blues dudes.
Claypool, Chris Squire and Geddy Lee are all awesome.
Hats off to 'em all.
I must admit that I had never heard of Les Claypool or Primus before this thread. Listened to several clips of Les Claypool and the guy is an artistic genius. I'm more funk and old school, but in this case the student (Claypool) may have overtaken the teacher (Graham).
This Live performance on Letterman was awesome.

Think About It
TAI, check out "My name is Mud" and "Tommy the Cat" by Primus.
For my money... It's Jaco Pastorius.. Fretless all the way.. Died too early..
