In case you misunderstood, Primus' motto is 'Primus sucks'. I just adapted that to Les Claypool - I do not actually think he is bad.

By "1-5-1", Mars meant people that only play chordal roots and fifths; the 1 and 5 don't refer to fret positions.

Although if we take his line as an intervalar transcription it could make for something interesting.
Mediant-dominant-mediant-dominant-suboctave-superoctave-etc-etc
I don't know how good it would sound. I may have to try this and report back.
@Albatron: music has it's own terminology. It takes a while to learn. If you hadn't figured it out yet, I've been doing this for a short while now and so my terminology may be more advanced. I also have some level of classical and theoretical training which means that some of my terminology may even go beyond that of the standard rock musician. None of this is strictly necessary; you'll learn what you need to know as you go along.
Regarding the line you posted, I'd probably drop that an octave and play it entirely in open or first position. Mind, that's just me and it'll depend on you and your band's style.

My bad. I have only a passing knowledge of Primus, but what I do know is they are pretty damn talented musicians.

Apparently, Larry Graham does not believe the bass is a boring instrument.
Seriously, I'm pretty convinced he has more fun during that 55 seconds than I've ever had in my entire life. I could watch that clip all day just because I like to see people loving what they do.
Albatron:
Thats talent, but I don't really like slap bass a whole lot. This John Entwhistle bass solo is more my thing http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TVl39LBZGMw&feature=related or Cliff Burton esque stuff.
Thanks for the idea Mars
