This song is played on a six-string fretless bass, but it sounds
fine with a fretted. Also, the only reason you would need a six-string
as supposed to a five-string is the harmonic at the end, which
isn't a big deal.
s: slap
p: pop
^: flamenco strum
h: hammer on
p: pull
x: muted note
*: harmonic
/: slide up
\: slide down

Note: The open B up there, and all open B's in the intro, are played
with extremely heavy distortion to the point where it sounds
like Les is playing all the strings at once.

Les Claypool has a style that is undeniable. Primus in general is an original band. No doubt about it. While the song "My Name is Mud" isn't for everyone, Les Claypool is still an amazing bass player. It all really is just a matter of opinion. This is still no reason to diss on other bass players or Les.

But call me Alowishus Devadander Abercrombie. That's long for Mud. ...AHAHA!!! This song rules, and Les... oh my god. Bass was just another part of the band before I listened to this song. This caused the bass to really redeme itself in my eyes.
