The Claypool Lennon Delirium

[lowhand_mike]

currently watching/listening to them live at Bonnaroo, deliriously good. Les is his usual imperious self and Sean can really rip it up on guitar and dont arf sound like his dad

just putting it up here for those that may have an interest.
Slightly more normal songs but nothing is going to be totally normal with Les involved

I read about this in Bass Player...I keep forgetting to add them on Spotify. All done. That's my drive home sorted!

[ivansc]

l LOVE Les's tone on that. Sorta early Chuck Rainey on steroids...

[NancyJohnson]

Jeepers...I had a listen. Really, really not for me.

Best I can describe is you know when youre a bit stressed and you get a dull ache in your chest? Listening to it was a bit like that. I was just willing it to get going. It was actually making me feel anxious.

Well it was good for me. Thanks for the link

Does anyone know what the bass played by his partner in GOASST is. Can't make out the name on the body, could be Framus?

I saw it on the suggestions on youtube, and I'm a massive Claypool fan* so I checked it out. I only lasted about 10 minutes. Maybe I should have given it longer? I really did not enjoy it at all

*I saw him on his solo tour and it was one of my favourite gigs ever, and I've watched my Primus live DVDs several times etc.

It's a Wandre Davoli Tigre Basso. Italian from the mid '60s. Aluminium neck. I've got one.

[MoonBassAlpha]

Thanks for that, super quick. I did wonder if it was some brand new boutique thing with a retro vibe. Almost as cool as its owner...

[Leonard Smalls]

I much prefer Les's other supergroup, Colonel Claypool's Bucket of Bernie Brains:

While we're at it, any ideas on Lennon's guitar? Looks like a modified Jazzmaster with a starcaster neck or something...

Much like myself, despite the pot belly, receding hairline and halitosis.

Hmm, no takers on this question, maybe it's one for Guitarchat!

[Skybone]

Both were surprisingly good. Sean's guitar looked like a semi Jazzmaster, with twin humbuckers and a Stairmaster/Coronado neck

[MoonBassAlpha]

Stairmaster! Would the target market for that be the older player?
Gotta love auto-correct!

[Skybone]

I know Sean's knocking on now, but I don't think he's quite ready for a Stairmaster. Damned auto correct!

[MoonBassAlpha]

Found it! It's a BilT guitar, Zaftig model with about all the options you could load.
