"Flowing" by 311--bassline


from the 1999 album Soundsystem
This video was released earlier this year, but I haven't heard it much cuz I've never heard it on radio here... but I really like it all of a sudden. I think he's using a 5 string (which I don't have), but I've arranged it for either one....though the low string is what gives the song its mystique. This video's pretty funny, by the way, if you haven't seen it (is this guy on it from American Pie?)
