Tool - The Pot - Bass Line

[xXMatthewCoreXx]

sounds awesome! what amp, effects?

[casperado666]

Dude you rock. On other cover videos here i've seen the guys using drop D tuning. Is it the right way to play what do you think?

[DoomShroom93]

Well played! left a like

[nuke97]

This guy is the ONLY guy who can make this song sound right on bass without a pick here on Youtube.

[AlexGeoffreyForbes]

@nuke97 Thanks Man!!!!!!

[nuke97]

[MRxJessexLovett]

I have a music man stingray 5.... best fucking soud you can get out of a bass without effects

[kaSp3R220]

Bass sound is wicked and playing is sweet. I wish I could play fingers like that. Sounds much fatter and so much better. Guess I'm stuck with a pick.

[TheEarthwormMatt]

thats a beautiful Music Man Stingray you got there! for ymfirst bass im getting the SG style Epiphone EB-3 :D

[williamrds1]

the first person to dislike this will be cursed for the rest of his/her life!

[ReverendNovember]

I figured this riff out too. That's the easy part. The real challenge is getting the feel right.

[WindsOfThrash]

Thats a pretty wack bassline, and those faces you make when you play. LOL

[ReverendNovember]

@WindsOfThrash Let's hear your basslines, Stud

[liltreencan]

you have zero dislikes which is pro in its self plus amazing bass playing and then you start jamming to it which i am guilty of myself

[mrfinn9]

Sick playing. I mean sick. You have talent and that is no joke.

[bigdaddytorr1]

LOOOOOOOL that shirt is awesome

[woxoho]

fucking awesome, thanks for making my day by listening to this.

insane!

[fernandocasares1]

Congratulations¡¡¡

[GodofReapers]

You go into the guitar part in a couple spots instead of maintaining the bass riff (at the into and before the bridges and at the end of the. . . how to say. . . breakdown before the reprise?), but other than that this is really solid. And that's such an easy mistake, I understand making it esp. in Tool songs where it's usually hard to tell which is which (cf. Schism). But great tone, great, lots of energy, good emphasis -- good cover.

[toomanyscreennames]

HOORAY FOR NO PICK!

[chrispykreme77]

AMEN

[durizap]

I just watched 5 other bass covers of this piece.....They all seemed to be far from as tight as Justin's playing.....But I must admit, seeing this, that you are getting pretty damn close..

Excellent job mate !

[hughesman2]

i think the intro is play d open (higher pitched d) and uses the 12 and 14th fret. instead of hittin 5th on a string. but the rest sounds great

[hughesman2]

*10th and 12th , not 12 and 14.... my bad

[rogueshdw]

its actually the 10th and 13th; not sure but 14th sounds too high

[ProtoDman]

That's the same notes, different fingering.

[AlphaX1980]

wow great job!! I like thias better than Toolmybass guy. You really feel your bass and connect which is important on this song.

[reverendexile]

That sounds and looks great. You should definately tab the intro and post it somewhere cause I cant figure it out.

[AlexGeoffreyForbes]

Thanks man - nice idea......

I've annotated 'my version' of the intro for ya :)

Good Luck....!!!!!

[kaosknife123]

Beautiful

[cenzor]

You're playing it waaayyy different from the tabs that ive seen... it sounds phoenominal.

[AlexGeoffreyForbes]

Thanks man :)

Yea, didn't use tabs for this (so sorry if there's any bits that are a bit out or if anyone disagrees with whether or not its 'proper') but kinda stumbled on the main riff by accident when I was doing double thumb plucking exercises...

Anyway, glad ya dig it...!! :) :)

[FrontcentipedePart]

@cenzor tabs can be diffrent and still sound the same lik a5 is same as d0

[lilstar1712]

No offense but I have watched him and in my opinion this guy is the best....sorry (0;

[lilstar1712]

Wow...i have watched ALOT of people play this song on here and so far you are the best...keep up the good work!

[MellProductions]
