however, it can be played on a five string without any problem


as well as


shake hands with beef
bob (easily transposed)

the last super power AKA rapstalian,

as for mudvayne, don't **** around with "end of all things to come" or "lost and found" there isn't really any profound bass on either of those albums that make sense learning in order to challenge yourself and grow as a bass player. When you've gotten the handle of what you want, then you can play that kind of stuff just to furhter your knowledge, but you won't really learn anything from it. Stick with L.D. 50, I learned slap bass, beginner finger tapping from L.D. 50, it also taught me three finger strumming. My favorite songs to play are


Death Blooms
Nothing to Gein
Severed
Pharmaecopia
(K)Now (F)Orever - EXTREME CHALLENGE


everything and nothing, less than zero, cradle, and prod are good too

but you better have a lot of coffee and a lot of spare time if you wanna tackle prod because that ****'ll rock you like nothin else.

p.s. why didn't you ask for talented songs when you asked for talented bass players?


edit: also, for the primus, don't trust any tab out there, they're all pretty much wrong or missing something, go out and get the "Hallucinogenetics" Dvd and see how he plays them for yourself, I'm working on tabs for a lot of those songs from watching the dvd, just so I'll have a reliable reference for when I want to see how somethings played. But it's the same deal as with prod, a lot of coffee and spare time. Probably after I defret one of my four strings.
