you originally from boston bro? thats whats up, btw ur covers are great ive been watching them for about 4 years from now, just one question, are you sure that the distortion part is played on all four measures or isnt it just the last 2 measures? i really listened to the song and it sounded like JC only does the distortion on the last 2 measures instead of all four measures
Hello TOOLbassplayer! I've watched all your videos.I'm jealous of all this great equipment and especially this amazing Wal bass!UK's finest for sure!Your covers are great man well done and keep up the good work!
I'm posting because I have a simple,desperate question :) Are you using any effect to produce this amazing clear and a lil bit distorted sound at 1:00-2:10 ??????or is it only the wal and the amp?
I think you had covered this before but defo without the intense vibe. Always good to see you still play it from the heart and not just another "cover video for youtube". Specially this particular tune.
@TOOLbassplayer Great cover. I hope to see me from you. Got an offer for my Silvertone bass, about $90 for it. And one of my friends offered me an ibanez for it, maybe $80. Worthy trade?
@FABIANbassplayer Not a mistake as much as a botched transition. It is a very tricky transition (timing wise) and yes I did not execute it crisply. The good news is I quickly got back on track. I did not want to re-do the entire video because of one hiccup. :)
Awesome cover! i believe it was flawless :P nice to see you doing covers again. first time in about 3 months.. hope you will be posting more awesome covers :)
Man I'd love to see you do a cover of something really technical. That Wal bass would suit a Dillinger Escape Plan cover so well, and I bet it'd really test you ;) Great stuff man.
@mackaus1 no effects. The bass is doing it. You see the knob I am twisting? The Wal bass as high frequency mid range sweep (with boost) and I am sweeping it manually so it sounds very similar to a wah. :) Hope that helps
@TOOLbassplayer i didn't know a wal could do that, it sounds really cool. is this the way justin does it or did you only do it because you dont have a wah?
@puppetmetal Yes...there are two tone knobs on the wal. They cover different ranges of frequencies...one is more low mids and this knob is more high mids/highs
@TOOLbassplayer The Spector, would you mind doing a quick video showing us how it sounds? I have a EBMM Bongo 6 HH and am thinking about adding a Warwick or Spector 5 or 6 string and I can't find enough videos on Youtube demoing the sounds. :)
Every time you make a video, I enter a Tool state in which I listen to them constantly and attempt to learn their songs once again! You are an inspiration to all bassists out there.
@JakeTheBassist91 Thank you for the very kind words. I try really hard to help where I can. If I can help out any Tool bass fan then I feel extremely accomplished of what I set out to do with these videos. Thanks again.
@TOOLbassplayer Hey bro, I'm like 3 years into bass right now I started kind of late, I'm 33yo but I can play some TOOL songs, like 15 of them, I can say that I wouldnt learn any of those if it wasn't for your tabs and videos, you are like my bass teacher, thanks man! keep the awesome work we are listening!
@gregvoy The best tab on the net, in my opinion, is on Tooltabs. Nolan wrote the original and I cleaned it up a few years ago but some parts were still off (chorus around 3:00). I can promise you that what I am playing here is quite accurate. The bass in the lateralus album is mixed very low making this very difficult to decipher...
@TOOLbassplayer Oh I believe that you are playing it accurately! Tooltabs is basically my one-stop shop for Tool bass tabs, and I've yet to find one that I disagreed with. What I meant was if iPride4G had what he believed to be the "correct" version of the song, then he should post it. I was not implying that your version was incorrect, as I have always trusted your attention to detail when it comes to bass in Tool song. Great job btw!
@gogogogodzilla I'm questioning his knowledge, I'm asking to be enlightened. I have a tab of this and it's way off from what he's doing, hence why I asked.
@Astrodude55 I know, I was just being a smart ass, not trying to knock your comment/question. It's really nice to play bass and have this guy's knowledge and skill and to help mine. Good luck with the playing!
What kinda fuzz did you use around 3:28-3:38? Sounds killer!
