Tool - Vicarious (Bass Cover) (Play Along Tabs In Video)

Tips And Comments:

- Playing Technique: Played between pickups with differents dynamics throughout the song (try listening to the band and choosing the right dynamics). Used a pick. All knobs at full

- Gear Sound: For the whole song i used a cab emulator with high and low end activated, added treble, bass, middle at 5 or a little more. High gain and a layer of overdrive (just a little) behind.

For the intro i added an octaver with the high octave a little lower, that repeats on the intro riff and a little fill in between. For the solo i added delay and overdrive with octaver too.

Honestly i'm not very proud of the tone, i know i don't have the right equipment but i did what i can

- About The Song: Some parts are hard but i think the trickiest might be the part after the solo, specially for the string skipping. Try practicing that slowly. Transcribed from studio version and positions corrected with live videos (it was hard to see most of the line, so positions might change)

You know Tool is something unique when guitarists watch the entire bass cover

[gerardesc]

I'm a guitar player and I just wanted to check if a riff was played on bass or guitar. But I couldn't help but to watch the whole video. Amazing technique.

4:02 I thought that was guitar solo, what an amazing is tool.

So my 13 year old just came down stairs and said "Oh, I thought that you were playing Doom, with that song on." That sounds like a compliment to me.

5:00 love it when the bassline kicks in early like that. One of my favourite parts of Rosetta Stoned as well towards the end.

What the fuck is that hammering part at the end... my brain couldn't even process that shit.

[Goadiroth]

excellent cover, dude! @6:37 you annihilated that low string :D

[djrich]

This may have been one of the best covers ever
I listen to tool 24/7 and I have become very fond of 10000 days

[oranmacphersonraffell]

Me-Yeah, 0-3-5 is easy, only beginners think that it is hard.

Justin Chancellor- 7:15

One of the greatest songs ever written! And you crushed it as usual!

Since the Lateralus video is blocked on my end, Ill comment it here. That video and to an extent this video inspired me to pick up bass and now I actually play bass, so thank you for sharing these covers with us! Keep up the good work!

3:10 the bass literally just sang right there

[allcartuner]

Definitely one of my favorite Tool songs. Great job on the cover!

[keaganjohnstone]

That sassy half bend on the 7th fret @ 3:10 is so subtle but so perfectly placed

[noirerequiemii]

I love how cover solutions has helped with most of my tool bass tabs

[miffmaff]

It pleased me to see you wipe your brow, Tool songs are hard.

[kirkallen]

You are a true master of the bass and an inspiration! Thank you so much for this video. The triples at the end of the song are insane and you executed it perfectly!

[daniele_]

All hail the king of Tool covers!
That was insanely perfect just like the other songs :)

[torinmcconkey]
