OF COURSE. Chasing this tone my whole life, the answer was buy a frigging Wal. Oof.

[mrkfrks]

Ian: Because there is really that point in the upper mid range
Scott: AHH AHH AHH AHH AHH

[majikman]

Justin has a strong picking hand too, really gets those notes to pop and ring out

[EllissDeeyoume]

I’ve seen TOOL twice and they blew my mind both times. Then again, it might have been the acid.

[nogdsnomasters]

By FARRR my favorite Tool song to play on bass. Such a groove.

[starthislez]

Saw tool and Primus together, Justin‘s tone and les’ sound so great when you put them together playing at the same time

[tetsusiega]

As of today there’s finally a new rig rundown video that goes over everything.

[assman]

These guys are such bass nerds I Iove it

[ALFONSOKELEVRA]

I believe that song were recorded with Justin playing a Music Man!

[DrMurdercock]

Not a big tool fan, but i love their early shit, buit the bass tone is probably the best and most memorable, noticeable bass tone of all time

[bassguitarislife]

I read in a bass guitar magazine (yes they used to have those!) that Justin Chancellor had two different bass rigs; one for clean, an 8x10 cab with sound components, & a dirty rig with a 4x12 & whatever components. He could switch back & forth from each 😧

For anyone with a Wal, Justin sets both tone knobs to 10, the pick-up balance in the centre, and all 3 push-pull knobs in the up position. That's how I run my Wal when I play TOOL

[pappyprimetime]

Now we can all do tool bass covers! Yay

[CalmRiver]

This is my favorite thing to play by tool on bass ❤

I was lucky enough to see tool in 06 in camden at the sony center.
It was raining really hard and we were the only people on the grass.
They would not let us sit under the roofed area so we sat all the way in the back against the fence and enjoyed Tool in the Storm in out rain jackets.
Watching A Tool concert outside in a monsoon, with the Battleship NJ just off to our side was sublime, to say the least.
During the show the singer stopped and looked right at us and asked if we were enjoying ourselves up there.
I screamed 'Yell Ya! Tool Rocks!' and then said 'even more if we could move up inside' I guess it was raining too hard for him to hear that part.
Couldn't even get a shirt.
They closed the stands because of the storm.
Was still a great show.
Hope to get to see them again someday.
Oh yea, TOOL STILL ROCKS!

justin recently said he uses all knobs on full and the blend in the middle position

[flowergirl]

I love that guitar. Absolutely gorgeous.

[KryptoGraphVideos]

He’s plucking a little more abrasively too.

[bwa_]

Incredible, turning the knobs changes the sound.
