Clay looks like an ancient vampire who started playing bass centuries ago because he was bored of immortality.

[@matthewdavis2703]

Legendary mustache

[@alancita5411]

The phrasing implies the bass takes his immortality 😭

[@skrjabe_]

@@alancita5411??

[@Caminopoi66]

⁠@@skrjabe_bored “of”, instead of “from”, implies the immortality as the direct cause instead of boredom being an indirect side effect of immortality and living forever.

The "thanks for watching" at the end is wild. Sir, thanks for playing.

[@NikiMortis]

That's so wholesome

[@TheWolverine7]

should do an alternate cut of the album where clay just shreds the whole time with no regard for serving the song 😂

[@maxchacon]

yo you got posted on clay’s ig story

[@TheWolverine7]

@@maxchacon haha that's dope, don't have IG so wouldn't have even known without ur reply. welp, guess we just wait for it to drop now 👀

[@andrew_franz_noise5903]

Perfect example of someone who has the skill to throw down, but isn't afraid to step back and play what's right for the song.

[@GuitarFRETBOARDHACKS]

Clay is every guitarist dream bassist. He really knows how to respect the song, and write around the melodies while still flexing. A masterclass act everytime.

[@bukanmusisi2394]

He was a guitarist so that makes him understand guitarist better

[@GuitarFRETBOARDHACKS]

@@bukanmusisi2394 absolutely. I've seen his old guitar covers when he still played electric lol

[@lamblatte8139]

@@GuitarFRETBOARDHACKS Where are these old guitar covers?

[@line6spidey]

2:35 GOES CRAAAAAZYY 🔥

[@Sierra-xi2ty]

Unpopular opinion but my favorite song off the album. Also my favorite “normal” bass line from Clay. The tone is to die for. Awesome playthrough.

[@ado011235]

My favourite too

[@xeakpress2718]

Ok at this point I'm convinced there's gonna be like a whole line of signature Basses, shoes, finger tats, long hair, and mustaches on the way

[@husatoledo]

2:17 Good Lord...

[@bullghani]

I love that hybrid style on bass. it makes every note so powerful.

[@Grimboww]

I was wondering if you were gonna play those nutty chords over the solo but the lower roots hit just as hard, also that lick at 2:34 is absolutely VICIOUS Massive props, was an absolute treat to listen to!

[@admatlydian]

He's a badass at the live shows too! The hype man!

[@veenoir1991]

This song fkn hits hard with subs. And that bass is beautiful

[@belugaprincessofficial]

hands down some of the nastiest bass playing i've ever heard, some insane runs and every single mute is fucking perfect

[@curtispop8123]

KIng of Bass in present generation, and apart from that Clay is the real true Rocker Imo, in every song of Polyphia Clay's performance is always Rocking, he cant stop headbanging when the music starts, thats a true Rockstar right there. I salute

[@jukeoncampus]

Love that Banjo Kazooie callout on the wall behind you, hombre. Also live for your subtle flexes, those licks are amazing.

[@nickforsyth5887]

More clay doing clay things please!!

[@BrianinSLCity]

Nothing short of brilliant. Clay cN clearly tear it up for the duration, but has the restraint to serve the song, The tone is perfect. Hitting all the right spots to compliment the song along with Clay A, and mixing in the fills for a little spice. Well done!

[@HourRomanticist]

Well said. Wish we had some more of his solos

[@velartt]

this bass sound is like my dream bass sound

[@pokecuzes]

The snaps at 2:35 make me smile

[@krozz9309]

I fuckin love everything you put out, you’re the reason I started playing bass guitar, in my eyes you have completely reinvented how bass should sound, thank you for being such an inspiration

[@brendantimmons2957]

scratches are so sick, your bass lines are always so unique and fitting.

[@Erickhetfield]

The tone is amazing. So rich and thick, but at the same time crispy. edit: Just Realized this is not a cover, he the actual bass player for Polyphia. That's why it sounds so good.

[@Seanschenscher]

rad man, this song and your lines got me to dive into 5 strings and rhythmic playing! cheers for the playthru, heaps more pocket than i thought!

[@nonosssp]

banjo kazooie and polyphia , is perfect!!!!!

[@MatyPau]

It's cool that you want to do all the songs on the album :) ❤❤❤

[@jasonbamburg1163]

There's really a lot of expressiveness you can get with a pick on bass.

[@jacques_phroste]

Thanks for coming to Portland OR last October. Clay was so humble & a pleasure to hang with @ meet & greet too... actually both Clays were very warm & friendly people to meet!!!

[@SoulsOfAG]

Lord of the ghost notes

[@Schmoogis]

This is the one i was waiting for

[@jasonpoland5507]

Love his tone. Makes sense for the pick for this sound

[@bennieboy777]

You are bass goals in so many ways. Love the play throughs, keep em coming!

[@blistergeist]

Thank you so kuch for posting this playthrough! I've been lrarning this song and being able to see you play some of the more conplex parts is *extremely helpful*

[@kitsvn]

I love the bass so much. You’re a genius, Clay

[@rrrr-nd8rn]

THANK U FOR UPLOADINGGGG!

[@kaiying74]

Thanks a lot for this. Kick ass playing on the whole album bro. 🤘

[@oknotokmaybenot]

Glad to see Clay ❤️

[@laytonfoster5057]

Man you are so cool. such amazing playing

[@remrust]

Thanks for posting, this is awesome

[@theatticreview777]

2:35 goes hard, but hot damn 2:17 is slick 🔥👏

[@SophieBurrell]

that was tight af

[@sionnach1]

All that space is wild. So tasty. Just layered in the groove.

[@dianavaleria3032]

Best bassist ever!!! ❤

[@ikhsanramdani9561]

Soo sooo sooo good maan !! 🔥

[@maiyu1145]

this is sick

[@lucasrv2630]

ur my biggest inspiration dude

[@mikematthews5890]

digging on that orange Ibanez with the custom bass ramp \m/.

[@paoloantonio1531]

Clay is the reason why I love my 5 string bass even more (I bought it years ago mainly to play Limp Bizkit songs).

[@davidfink4963]

Wow. When i listen to Polyphia, its hard to just follow the bass line. Now that I see what you are doing, i understand why. I am listening for bass melodies, but you're playing percussion with that thing. Amazing stuff.

[@sergiozdrums]

lovely!!

[@dylancross4050]

The heart of Polyphia

[@jacobjaeger23]

Oh man he did it again!

[@doyoulikejazz9516]

Yes, more bass!!!

[@KekeStudios-zg4cz]

HE'S BACK WITH ANOTHER SICK PLAYTHROUGH

[@ChintzMusic]

It must be difficult to be so skilled and have to play slow or with a lot of rests, the fast licks seriously fuck so hard

[@hannasaynwittgenstein-berl6931]

well my right hand technique probably way under their paygrade but you win,clay i'll go get the tab and learn this for next few weeks

[@Bruno-zv8rn]

Asked and answered, good shit 🔥

[@moa4331]

We love you, Clay.

[@kzyt_]

[@JimmyZambranoR]

First, and good job, we need more of these!

[@sthxdnn1]

My face the second the bass kicked in

[@thebaldbassist]

One of the greats. I think it’s time to join the Omnific. 3 bassists and a drummer - ultimate.

[@thelollah3593]

2:36 OMGGGG

[@xxTacolord]

Friggin rad

[@JoFuSoA]

Massive play Mr. Gober! See you in Europe!

[@SteveBearscemi]

This dude is super good. He should join a band named Polyphia

[@Rafaelavelino]

That Tone.

[@kevinfitzpatrick95]

Jeeez Louise 2:16 is madness

[@sanyo_neezy]

Hey Clay! Remember when some guy crowdsurfed on to the stage in Berlin last year and you gave him a fistbump? Yep, that was me :D I have a SoungGear, too (Ibanze SR605E). How can I recreate your iconic bass tone? Can you maybe do a short video on your EQ and your FX chain?

[@nezainachraf4584]

if polyphia guys are the villains this guy will disobey the rule and somehow help the protagonist, sacrifice himself and hoping the protagonist get stronger than tim henson

[@X4vier0_0]
