Justin Chancellor's tone with a Wal

[heavybass4ever]

is the point of his bass in heavy mids or in scooped mids?

[s88haru]

Wow!! good heavy sound!

I thought wal bass's sound is more tender sound.

What Effecter's do you use?

I think Left end=BOSS TU-3 .T-rex MUDHONEY .?? .?? .Tech21 SansAmp .??? .BOSS ODB-3 .ERNIE-BALL Volume pedal

Please reply.

[Mentoelify]

Nice shoes, hehe

[hellsSG]

Hi. can you tell me exactly what gear you used for this recording? Thanks

[Toolmybass]

@hellsSG

Wal-->Pedalboard-->dirty channel-->GK1001RBII-->12" Powerhouse Mesa Boogie speaker-->Heil PR40 mic-->Digidesign Interface-->ProTools

Hope this helps....I may have mixed in a smidge of post-eq xlr out from the GK :-)

[eumuitomenos]

man that's a nice tone!! and you nailed it pretty good also!! congrats!! how's with the bass, do you still have it?? thanks for posting this video!!

[Toolmybass]

@eumuitomenos

Thanks...sold bass locally (that way i can buy it back!!)

[heavybass4ever]

how to set EQ of the amp, bass, mid and treble for that sound?

[KarlSkvonka]

Jimmy from Aenima also got some great bass stuff! Great video dude :D

[vectorialalo]

you are an excellent player, man...congrats!

[Toolmybass]

@MaDTytuS

No...not at all. I wouldnt and dont use the ODB for any post Paul Tool

However, with an ampeg tube amp, mesa cabs and a Ric or Magnum it sounds like sex.......but sadly doesnt even come CLOSE to any sound on this vid period

[vectron12]

it still is

dat sound

is sex

[Zip2461996]

odb?

[Toolmybass]

@Zip2461996

Nope

[Zip2461996]

@Toolmybass Well I asked if that was an odb, not if you used it. Anyway...

[Toolmybass]

@Zip2461996

Ahh...yes that is an odb on my board, but i used it for other stuff. Sold that pedal awhile ago.....didnt like it.

[Zip2461996]

@Toolmybass Well I bought it especially for funk stuff, it's pretty good considering you know how to manage the settings.

[davcwebb]

Very nice! Is that a drop down D in Schism?



[Toolmybass]

@davcwebb

Yes

[SethYoda71]

what were the amp settings?

[mrussia777]

great shoes!! I`m joking, I hate them but I admit your playing is awesome, and you know tool to the bottom

[phobiaspasm]

How sure are you all that he isn't in fact Justin himself? Gives you something to think about ay

[rdpflyer77]

Holy sh*t....best covers I've heard period. Well done!!

[Btourigny24]

have you sold this bass yet?

[romulus12345]

sounds so sweet even with heavily compressed youtube audio file size. what effects, amp and cab r u using?

[Toolmybass]

@romulus12345 tnx

-distortion,delay,flanger,bass­ whammy,chorus

-GK1001BR-II

-Mesa Boogie cabs

[romulus12345]

lovely tone, even with compressed to f*** youtube quality! what pedals have u got there?

[WhenWorldsCollide91]

Come on Justin, take off your disguise and admit it's you.

[theishjort]

is it possible for me to buy the pickups from this kind of bass anywere ?

[Toolmybass]

@theishjort You could try email Paul at Wal Basses. But just having the pick-ups is NOT going to get you the sound your hearing on my video. There is a LONG list of other variables that make up this sound. Including an intricate pre-amp and electronics connected to those pick-ups!

[theishjort]

@Toolmybass ok thank you alot for youre reply :) i just need some new pickups. :/ but i guess im gonna whait a few years with that tone then :) good playing :) have a nice day and thank you :D

[zachreh]

Nice cover man and sweet bass, are you using steel or nickel strings?

[Toolmybass]

@zachreh Nickel

[cestoiber117]

Cool bass and shoes

[TheSpartanfan]

I hate every bass tone except this one(s). And I play.

[BulletisAndrei]

nice job dude.. and btw nice pair of shoes.. 

[theultimategod]

Whats the name of the song by tool? I like the setup and everything but can i still get the same sound using my five string bass or is there a difference in a 4 string and a 5 string when playing tool songs?

[Toolmybass]

@theultimategod You have a 5 string Wal?

[lateralpazwalk]

People don't realise how essential Chancellor's tone is to the whole bamd.

[vectron12]

holy shit

the sound of your bass is having sex with my ears

[rafaelillustrator]

Love your videos, man! Post more stuff here! =D 

[Toolmybass]

@rafaelillustrator Workin on it

:-)

[audibleobsession]

Awesome stuff man, have always loved your vids. But have also always wondered what gauge/brand strings you use? They look FAT! :D

[Toolmybass]

@audibleobsession

Ernie Ball Hybrid Slinky's with a .110 E string from the Power Slinky set

[audibleobsession]

@Toolmybass Right on! Thanks alot. Hard to get Hybrid's here though. Have you tried a full Power Slinky set before? Just looking for some strings with more meat to them without going overboard? What do you think, is it overkill if I'm keeping it in Drop D? Appreciate it :)

[Toolmybass]

@audibleobsession They stock them at every Long + McQuade, your in Ottawa right?...If they dont have them in stock they will order them for you. I got them to get me a whole box

[audibleobsession]

@Toolmybass Yup, in Ottawa. the store was a mess last time i was there (for an interview actually!), so they didnt have much left. I got a pack of Regular Ernie Balls, but next time I'll try something else (I'm a guitarist who's recently become obsessed with Bass haha). Thanks alot for the tips man, really appreciate it.

[lilolandrew]

What is that howling effect(s) you you used in the "pushit" intro?

[Toolmybass]

@lilolandrew Bass Whammy

[ruski09]

amazing bass, pedal setup and playing. good work. if i could offer one criticism it would be that you have strange shoes. are they comfortable?

keep up the good work....but get some new shoes

[Toolmybass]

@ruski09....Lol they are handmade Canadian Aboriginal moccasins. We have basements here with a very cold floor (so instead of wearing shoes in the house)

And yes they are comfortable. Especially when hitting stomp switches!

[azombiestool]

WHY THE EFF DIDNT I SEE THIS IN MY SUBSCRIBTIONS?!?!?!?! FUCKK!!!! Amazing..

[Toolmybass]

@azombiestool tnx man

[azombiestool]

@Toolmybass absolutley TMB. Ive been watching your videos for a long while. Keep them coming, please. How much are you selling the WAL for?

[Toolmybass]

@azombiestool Didnt take long to sell after posting this vid...sorry

[azombiestool]

@Toolmybass naw. its all good. How much did you end up selling it for? and why'd you get rid of it?

[Toolmybass]

@azombiestool $5,200 and i needed the cash. Also sold it locally and if buyer EVER decides to sell her i get first shot at buying it back..woo hoo!

[hojima]

You need to upload a full jambi video.

[Toolmybass]

@hojima i will

[RealLowMind]

I'm so glad I spend all my money on bud. If I bought all those pedals, I'd be confused as shit

[impulsoprog]

what distortion did you use at the begenning?

as your main sound for the whole song, there's a little of dist or grindy sound... did you get that from a pedal or amp?

[Toolmybass]

@impulsoprog Its a combination of Wal Mesa Cab and a couple pedals just before going into the head....one being a modded ProCo Rat for bass.

[TyRastBass]

What exactly are you using to make whale sounds? I just cant seem to figure it out...

[Toolmybass]

@TyRastBass using a digitech bass whammy

[Toolmybass]

@faen5863 It has been sold

[LouBass09]

sounds killer but i would like to hear the bass without any effect and some other playing styles than pic.

[Toolmybass]

@LouBass09 Yep if you check my other vids i have one with no effects (except for a hair of chorus) I was thinking of making a RHCP vid using my fingers but this is already up on EBay and i dont have time to make another vid right now.

[AllYourFriendz]

Really amazing montage man. You have a bunch of pedals, I don't even hear what the deference is when you hit some of them. xD

[katanaboy16]

how much do you want for it?

[Toolmybass]

@katanaboy16

Barring any offers i get from educated Wal searchers, it will be going up on ebay this sat. So if you know what they are worth you can send me a PM with an offer. If you dont know what they are worth...then it will probably be too much...

Also this is the ONLY Lacewood Wal MKI that they made. You will NOT see another Australian Lacewood Wal...this is #1 of 1

[katanaboy16]

how similar are the MKi and MKll?

[Toolmybass]

@katanaboy16 VERY

[katanaboy16]

where did you get it and how much did you pay for it?

[Toolmybass]

@katanaboy16 Germany and ALOT of money

[chrisgotfunk]

Man, that sounds killer! What are you asking for that beast?

[Toolmybass]

@chrisgotfunk PM'd

[Firestick420]

Love the slippers Deaner!

Bouncer would have chewed those mothers up.

Sounds great man.

[WalMK2]

Great playing... this is a pure beauty.

[Oreomeister]

how did you record? Mic? direct? both?

[Toolmybass]

@Oreomeister Both

[MikePostDrums]

How come you're selling this beauty? The shoes made me laugh. Never saw those before.

[Toolmybass]

@MikePostDrums I have 2 Wals and dont use both of them. This MKI just sits.

[lasteffect]

again, I wish I could afford a Wal... I might get the next closest thing to one, a Warwick NT Thumb. It can come close to both the Aggressiveness of Tool and the mellow clean sounds of mid 80s Rush.

Well, I hope you find that bad boy a new home sooner or later.

Great Playing BTW!

[Scarface066]

I want!!! 

[KODFISHdaBAWSS]

I wish....

[toefes]

Omg you rule so fucking hard!
