@@ianzimmer1990 A Wal bass was brought into the studio after Tool had already recorded about 3 or so songs with a StingRay. Justin finished the album with the Wal.

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 😧

@NojustaTOOL

10 ай бұрын

You didn’t ready very clearly. He’s has both those rigs, but he blends them together at the same time and runs a separate preamp to the front out house.

He’s plucking a little more abrasively too.

The only bassist I’ve ever heard who can recreate the Andy Wallace bass sound. Wallace added chorus to the bass tracks while mixing so he’d get a clear, clean tone to begin with and the chorus effect would add that slight metallic (as in actual metals, not the genre) tinge. Add chorus to your bass signal chain ahead of the amp and it’s almost always muddy. That’s what it’s so hard to recreate Novoselic’s tone from the Nirvana album recordings.

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

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!

Flanger my friend!

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

Lovely inspiration for Dream Theater: Scene Six: Home · Metropolis, Pt. 2: Scenes from a Memory

My old Alembic Spoiler bass had a Q filter that sounded a bit like a cocked wah pedal, you could just precisely add some higher mids to punch through any mix... Worked fine if you had the time to fiddle about with it in a studio, but for live it was very difficult to get thát sweet spot. I'd've preferred something like a varitone style setup, with fixed values - saves time to look for the exact frequencies.

I’ve found that having some cool music gear , is awesome !! I’m sure you do need a friend to sit and tweak dials while you play .

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

Tone knob! That's all it is! Wow. Why didn't I think of that? Brilliant content here.

Just like guitarists, it’s all in the hands. And everyone has different hands. So gear and tone wise you can get as close as you can. But at some point, it always just comes down to the player.
