Notes

Les Claypool endorsed Carl Thompson basses but used a custom 'Pachyderm' bass during the Pork Soda period, which includes 'My Name Is Mud' ([en.wikipedia.org](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Les_Claypool?utm_source=openai))

Tone Character(3)
percussive slap tonelow-end growlfunky, squishy envelope-like sound

Difficulty

The song requires precise slap‑bass technique with muted triplets on a fretless instrument and syncopated phrasing, making it challenging and rhythmically complex.
