Stu Hamm Vs Les Claypool

admin    Duels     Joe Satriani, Les Claypool, Primus, Steve Vai, Stu Hamm

This match is the first time two bass guitars go at it here on GuitarDuels. Stu arrives from the likes of playing with Steve Vai, and more notably, Joe Satriani. Les is the founding member of Primus and has done many offshoot gigs including perhaps his most famous one, as the theme song for South Park.

Both are un-conventional players in their own right. Where Stu brings a finesse and fusion style to his playing, Les is more of a groove/funk/weird type of sound. And yes, he has a friggin WHAMMY BAR on his bass!

Regardless, both bring some unique elements to the table. Which one would you want for your band? Which one do you think is more influential? Which one do you like best?
