"CyberFunk: Primus go multimedia on their juicy new album, TALES FROM THE PUNCHBOWL"
And then I have piles and piles of effects, too many to name. I'd just start plugging and unplugging things. My main sound was an Electro-Harmonix Hot Tubes, going through that Boogie, or sometimes through an old Ampeg Portaflex. The super-distorted, crazy stuff is usually the Boss Metal Zone pedal with the wacky EQ in it. I used some harmonizer on "Professor Nutbutter," as well...I hope you're going to edit this to make it look like I know what I am talking about.
Les thumped and plucked his treasured Carl Thompson 6-string fretted and fretless basses, which he tunes BEADGC . On “Over the Falls” he used “an old no-name electric upright that sound amazing.” He also plugged in an Italian-made, Hofner-style Eko. “I’d always wanted an Hofner,” says Les, “but the Eko just smokes the Hofner--and it cost $250! It has a real nice percussive attack.” His amp? A small solid-state Gallien-Krueger, which he would occasionally sweaten [sic] with a Hot Tubes, a Systech Harmonic Energizer and the tremolo filter on his ADA preamp.

Amplifiers used by Les Claypool on Brown Album
Avg price: $699.99
Used on basically all of 1997's "Brown Album". according to this old web interview/article, Les confirms that the main amp he used on the Brown Album was this small solid-state bass amp. he states, " for me, it's easier to get tones out of smaller, quieter amps, because you're not feeling the big sound in the room, but just hearing what the mic hears. The mic can't feel the rumble that you feel through the ground. Anyway, our success rate has been higher when we've kept the volume's down."
