    I love how Pat Finnerty did a specific episode of why this song stinks and totally destroyed it, then Nick comes on SBL and makes it a listenable song. KZread is a wild place man.

    Youse guys, so cool. Love all your bass stuff! 1st bass is a Grabber, but eventually dumped the slider for EMG P-Bass pickups in the early 80's; heavenly, played it for years. 1988 bought a Kubicki x-Factor and played it thru the 90's.... This is where I finally get to my p-bass, nice but it too grew into EMG P-bass pickups - and sold it 'cause it sounded too much like the Kubicki. And for the "piece of resistance", got my first(!) Stingray 5 in the early 2000s and never looked back. Your "TV" show has given me some really cool stuff to try - I was already on the hunt for an anvelope! Thank you, for lettinme be mice elf!

    I believe Tim played bullet in the head with his thumb, index & middle fingers for that bassline. That’s how I play it & it sounds better to me. If you watch the official video I’m sure you see can him using the technique.

    You guys used a Wal to play one of the few Tool songs that wasn’t recorded with a Wal…. 46 & 2 was recorded with a Stingray (although he has played it live for years with a Wal)

    Love the video Ian, really informative and even got me to switch from bounce off slapping to strike through slapping for that fuller slap sound! Though I thought I would just point out that at 5:14 for the tab of RHCP Higher Ground, I think after the 2 open Es and 2nd fret on the D, there was a missing 4th open E before the 3rd fret Es. I was wondering for a while why my riff sounded different from your riff, or anyone's for that matter, and I realised when I slowed the video down there seemed to be that one missing open E in the tab. Besides that, I really found this video really helpful, thank you so much!

    Thanks for featuring my video! I knew my version wasn't the way Klaus played it, but I thought it was a reasonable facsimile. I'm glad Ian digs my '72 P-Bass 😎 BTW I included a link to the Klaus Voormann video in the description of my video. I could have saved you some time 😁

    Chris had some shoes to fill in with AC/DC, but he sounds great! Cliff Williams would be really proud. Chris knows all the bass fills and he has the same staccato sound that Cliff brought in the rhythm section. Chris knows what he's doing when he has a bass in his hands. Best wishes, Chris, and congrats!

    Remember, the strings are tuned five frets apart. So it’s very useful to visualize the fretboard in five fret chunks.
