I know his basses are custom made, and he has done endorsements
for Ampeg.

He used to be associated with ADA, when they were still in existence.
The ads shows him with the bass preamp (MB-1), but I understand he
actually used the guitar preamp (MP-1). Both are fancy MIDI-programmable
preamps with lots of built-in effects.

Carl Thompson--see http://members.tripod.com/%7Ectbasses/ for a fairly
exhaustive CT WWW page, written by a CT owner/fan.
Also, Bass Player has several interviews with Les online which talk about
his gear, the most recent being at

Basically, I am no help, just cobwebs in the resin-filled brain from
the glory days of Primus back when I was in college. Their latest
album is a return to the original days of cool stuff, in my opinion.
I broke out Frizzle Fry for the first time in a while just today!

He uses Carl Thompson basses and old '60s Jazz basses.

He used Carl Thompson Custom basses Exclusively in early primus stuff and
recently moved back to a Fender Jazz bass for a lot of tunes. Still uses the
CT's though.

actually, according to an early bass player magazine, he did a lot of
Frizzle Fry on an eko copy of a hofner beatle bass.
