the pot by tool

[porcimeaeinfloare]

damn that's cool...i need to learn to play with a pick now :D

[donk70]

Excellent job sir. Really a lot of color to your playing. Don't change

[1dotonly]

amazing

that song is so fun to play

[ZormKc]

Ohhhhhh H ell ya Nice job Dude!!!!

[keepingyourfaith]

waw, super bon

[JonDavis36]

nice shirt

[Kaimitzu1]

3 questions: what kind of bass is that?

Why are you using a pick?

And do you like Nirvana?

[slanepuppy]

bass is a spector a euro i think

i would say he is using a pick because justin plays with one

and for obviouse reasons i cant answer the third

[slanepuppy]

that was meant to be in reply to kaimitzu1.

and i messed up its not a spector its a warwick streamer....noticed the bridge lol

[lucai]

I just wanna take a second cause this somehow comes up in atleast once in the comments for all my tool covers, playing with a pick is just another tool, i don't ever use a pick other that to play tool or toolish type things but to think that you have to choose between one or the other is as stupid as saying you can't play jazz if you play funk.

There nothing but tools to communicate, imagine if we were only allowed to learn one language

[lucai]

i hope that you can all see that there's no right and wrong when it comes to art and if there was art would not be where it is today. Music would not be where it is if generations before us didn't break the rules, so i say your all shooting yourselves in the foot if you pick one or the other based on some twisted moral objective.

[honkimon]

Don't worry maing, I support your videos. Fuck douche bags who buy all of the exact same equipment as Justin but cant play a lick...

[Kaimitzu1]

I am one of the narrowed minded people

I dont feel like making this long, so lets just say i know now, it doesnt matter wether it is a pick or not.

[renegade247]

Wow! That was good!

[SidenSWanS]

Dude, this is awesome

[mnkyking]

dude what bass is that ur using??

[SidenSWanS]

i think it's a warwick streamer stage 2

[agswe1234]

i think its a schecter stiletto elite

[lucai]

It's a warwick streamer lx 97' , you should be shot for thinking it's a schecter

[fahugwagads101]

spector my friend.

maybe the rebop series

[Kaimitzu1]

... yeah, i have no idea y i thought Schecter

I put that comment on A WHILE ago, and trust me, i know now it is a Warwick.

[fahugwagads101]

you sure are right,

ive never seen a streamer with that pick up configuration though!

[lucai]

actually ... it's a 1997 warwich Streamer LX which is a very similar configuration to the older Streamer Stage one's minus the pickups

[fahugwagads101]

thats unique, ive only seen humbuckers or j bass config in those.

[agswe1234]

my bad i thought you would play a good bass...so sorry

[frogswallop]

Warwick Streamer

[DeciBass91]

Hey man, what pedals did you use for the solo around 4:00?

[lucai]

both boss distortions, the whammy set to an octave up, the line 6 dl4, and the crybaby rocked all the way forward

[moongoddessbeleiver]

-.- Picks are for the weak! Just kidding! I am just against using picks unless absolutley necessary. I personaly play this without a pick, but hey we all have diffrent ways to play it i guess.

[jfudge099]

dude why would you even comment about picks in a tool video... all their stuff is played with a pick. play the song with your fingers and hear the difference in tone because its nowhere near the same.

[moongoddessbeleiver]

I know they use a pick, I was kidding, lighten up jfudge099 okay? I like the way it sounds both ways. So shut the fuck up please.

[charlesmanson1987]

If you cant hear him plug your computer into your stereo or turn up the bass on your speakers.

And I like how you arent worried about what Justin plays, you keep the tune and just play what you feel like, sounds pretty cool.

[3B0N1X]

Nice shirt... that is all :p

[Voidtraveler21]

shirt is Very ORGIINAL. XD

[deathvador]

he is not playing

"jus messing around not really playing anything close to what justin is"

[lucai]

do you really think you cant hear me playing along with the song?

[doggirlak]

i <3 this song

[rageagainst225]

i can play this but not even close to this good... damn amaing job man

[AGPBiohazard]

Hey man, great cover! I'm trying to learn that song on bass right now and it's tough to get the timing right. All I gotta say is : great job man :P

Also, what kind of bass do you use? Looks and sounds nice.

[Bassman424]

Anyone have suggestions about playing bass with a pick on this song? Not sure which to use, thanks

[YourNoose]

Every Tool song is played with a damned pick. Jesus. Look at videos

[macleod300]

nice...ive been tryin to teach myself this song...any tips?

[jfudge09]

Sick man, that's all I can say... fuckin sick :)

[AndriaLN]

Fucking bad ass.

You're awesome!

I'm going to try to learn bass on this song too. :)

[lilbuns777]

Damn. that is all i can say...damn...

[OmnipotentWings]

show your face, justin haha best cover of a tool bass i've ever seen

[IrishBarFight]

This is by far the BEST video I've seen of someone trying to replicate the bass line to this song. great job!

[JewmasterJules]

Most people have horrible ears. Sounds pretty clean.

[Dthwish09]

its doesn't sound like the bass is plugged in.

[lucai]

well this prooves the ears of the average joe sure as hell aren't evolving

[Ashmann1]

Hehe.. :P

[Dthwish09]

im no average joe, i have a tail and scales.

[pavoloco]

Is this a difficult song to learn?

It sounds like it... but it doesn't LOOK like it! (If that makes sence?)

[Ventisan]

Awesome job.

[NeverMind19591]

is he realy playing?!?

the description is "jus messing around not really playing anything close to what justin is"

[lucai]

lol... yes im actualy playing... im listen to the song then watch the video you should be able to tell the difference... i hope...

[TOOLbassplayer]

How can they not hear you? Or that nice warwick for that matter....I swear some people are deaf...lol

[Felixisonfire]

bahhhhhh not even that good hahaha anyone could just pick up a bass and do that its nothing special haha joking there lucas haha love you kiddo lol

[Ashmann1]

..just used 1 hour looking through all the vids for this tune on a bass. And finnaly found one worth to rate and comment. Looks like u feel the music compared to the others.. Great style!

Keep on rockin!

[r0berito]

Wow. I love your picking style, it's so... violent :p

[oseaway]

nice ^_^

[ascendancy1982]

Hey bro, that's some damn good bass playing. Keep it up.

[drago5lav]

Can't hear you...

[DarkSeasonBass]

spector bass? i only guess cuz thats wat i hav and it looks quite fimilar...

[tylerwylie]

I need to learn how to use a pick instead of fingers I think =\

[wolfahrt]

dam man your bomb at the bass. your picking technique is awesome and your fingers move so fast. i being a beginner bassist am very grateful to ppl like you who post what its possible to do with practice, rock on man

[kurtcobain661]

what kind of bass is that

[slipknotravi]

dude seriously i have seen all the video's of The Pot but none comes close, none did the solo, urs were a lil off but who cares. nice one!!!

[kurtcobain661]

nice shirt,nice bass, and very nice playing

[Naut]

the timing seemed rather off at times, but nice job, regardless. i like your picking technique.

[Tschakal]

Honestly...are you really playing? Your finger placement seems way off at times. If you are playing, it's dead on, but it doesn't really look legit. (Could be the camera)

[lucai]

lol... my hands are pretty small so i got pretty quick with them i guess... im seriously playing this lol.. i never thought id afta say it but yes... i can clearly hear myself i dunno bout you guys

[Tschakal]

Well, right on then. Sounds badass.

[johnnyzig78]

ive been struggling with that intro, you got it man, nicely done!

[letmeseethevids]

are you serriously not playing this?

[soadfanforlife]

Im lovin this video man, fuckin sweet man. keep it up!

[puddleofchris]

yea finally someone put this on bass. does justin play with fingers or pick? (just wondering)

nice job! great considering it was just 'fooling around'

[devilsvampire]

he plays it with a pick he really doesnt use much slap or tap bass

[lucai]

justin uses a pick i think the only song he doesn't is wings for marie... and i never really use a pick so i tend to slip up here and there... but tool just feels better and sounds better to me with a pick

[HippieKilla]

You got the tone dead on, but you're playing it a bit too fast in the beginning. But like you said, you were just messing around. Nice job.

[mdeking]

Very, very good! I wish there was a bass player like you around here. :(

[TOOLbassplayer]

Pretty good dude. I am impressed with your tone for the gear you got. keep it up....great playing =)

[thepathlesspath]

That's some awesome bass playing. I've been trying to figure out the timing, but you seem to have it down. Nice work.

[zitan17]

that was quite pimp

[beyondhairy]

what setting do u have the whammy on? i was under the impression that justin used the 5th up/1oct up but urs sounds pretty dead on. also whats that pedal ur clicking on the far left...

[lucai]

that would be the line6 delay modeler... absolutly mind blowing pedal

[capnbiggots]

You hold picks weird. but you're a hell of a good bassist so i dont care.

[crispygoat]

you suck lucas =)

[lucai]

not quite as much as your sorry azz cheez

[Sloobag]

i think someone is jealous

[henrebotha]

Dude, sweet playing! And you've got great tone going there. What bass is that, a Streamer? Spector?

[lucai]

97 streamer lx

[henrebotha]

Nice, man. If you're in a band that has a MySpace or something, I'd love to check out your stuff. If not, then WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU HANGING AROUND ON YOUTUBE?! Get yo ass in a band, bitch! :D Talent like yours is not to be wasted.

[marclb]

Boooooooya to you my friend !! Been waiting to see someone put out this song on Bass !! VErry good !

[diluted8]

and he's rockin the fuckin nirvana shirt!!! haha you're my favorite bassist! Nirvana+Tool=A whole new fuckin world

[Kjellerman]

You rock! im searching for a tab or somethin like that for this song, but i can't find any. Know where to find one?

Great playing, keep it up =D

[DanKFJ]

Dude you rocked the ass outta that song

[StuEEEE]

Wow. I like it.

[arbyjones]

I'm a beginning bass player - no idea how to evaluate your performance, but it sounds great and you look incredibly confident playing it, so by my standards it's a great vid to watch. Thanks for putting it up!

[mnkyking]

I PLay Bass, THAT WAS INSANE, u can play dude keep it up

[dutchstud]

awesome

[einblick]

jeez...i need to practice more on pot.

[YoshimuraGSXR1K]

Finally, someone who did the bass for this song instead of trying the guitar. Now all we need is someone to attempt the drumming.

[staindandtool]

haha that was the shit man . i dont even really play bass but im a drummer and i can tell a great bass player man. your one of em.

[Throne1607]

wow man thats pretty fucking cool......your fucking bass must be screaming at you like "CALM DOWN!, I WASNT MENT TO PLAY THIS ROUGH" you beat the shit out of that Warwick, lol....but you did a pretty fucking good job improvissing....some people just butcher the song when they do that...but not you lol, good job bud

[SwingOverSpiral]

WOW I wish you lived near me so we could jam

[THAOTHURTREVOR]

YES!!! FINALLY!!! GREAT JOB!!!

[Egipartz]

amazing!!!woww

[lordertai]

u have justin bass, and his effects.... and almost his style down too

well done .. keep at it

[beyondhairy]

he doesnt have his bass or his effects :p this guy is playing a warwick, justin plays a wal, this guy also doesnt have a bass whammy like justin (i do thoug :p) this guy does have some nice chops thoug :)

[frusc]

whats that red pedal then? looks awfully like a whammy pedal. Also.... what does it matter if he plays a different bass? you dont have to have a wal to play tool!

[beyondhairy]

the red pedal is infact a whammy, but its a whammy IV, justin uses a rare discontinued bass whammy. i didnt say he needed justin's bass to play like tool, i was just sharing some info about justin's setup
