[slappadehbass]

I really want a Wal. Amazing playing, and amazing sound!

[heavybass4ever]

how did you set EQ, bass, mid, and treble?

[schubert002]

That's really good, pal. NICE!!!

[reflectionsofme]

Is this exactly how he plays live and on the album?

[bassplayer703]

aenima is the album,the song is aenema

[Ledahaka84]

Jolie, jolie !

[crimsonakd]

[rafaelillustrator]

What was that word to describe this cover? Would be Awesome? Hmmm... Maybe Brilliant... Not sure... =\

[gnopis66]

IT's impossible fuck !

[spiderfreak8]

4 people cant swim

[letsgodux]

Wow that little diddy is a handful. Nicely done. Dig the Wal.

[TheAbsractMind]

does your shirt have the 10,000 Days face on the back?

[IrishGrenade9]

Great job you should do a how to video on this song it a seams really simple and i can play most of it but i think im getting some of it wrong.

[M32Encina]

Great cover!!! It would be better if the original back track was at 50% less volume. Nice job!!!

[vlangjahr]

I wish I had a Wal bass

[OOKBAR]

4 people were born with down syndrome.

@pumpkinking39

If your going to make the effort to comment on someone's grammatical error, you should try to use decent grammar yourself...

@ the other two comments before this comment

Though he used poor grammar, pumpkinking39 is correct. The song is: Aenema. The album is: Aenima.

Nonetheless, this is an awesome cover of this song! It's helped me to learn to play the song better myself. Thanks for making the effort to learn, record the video, and post it for the rest of us! Keep it up!

[claudioOMG]

got some tabs?

[pumpkinking39]

y does everyone spell it aenima its spelled aenema

[SkeletorElector]

@pumpkinking39 Because that's how the album is spelled. Stop being a nit-picking bitch. And "why" is not spelled "y".

[username125418]

@SkeletorElector he is actually right, the albu is aenima, the song is aenema

[danfrost313]

@pumpkinking39 Massive idiot is massive.

[arsen66]

im buying a bass in two weeks, tool is my long term goal.....this vid makes me pumped about it!

[davidsix54321]

hey whats your whole like amp set up? great cover im lookin fer an amp that sounds like tool, he uses GK i know but what do you use?

[SimonRivasV2]

I'm watching this closely to get the parts I cant' figure out lol great work man

[MinimumOfMaximum]

it's a wall that bass? :Q________

[Catastrophiccam]

Man, this is badass. Perfect job, I'm checkin out some more of your vids. Your style remind me of the bass player for my band but he's more into deeper tones and slapping.

[lasderot]

Amazing!!! congratulations from Colombia

[cm6gal]

Hot. Nice work!

[LTLfilms]

dude how did you aford a Wal bass they are $6,000 US

[Sleeves04]

@LTLfilms lol, not to sound like a smartass, but he probably just, I dunno, worked.

[toefes]

Why is your tooltab site offline? :O

[dlhamilt]

That's the cleanest cover of Aenima I've ever heard. Trying to get that sound without a Wal is impossible. Props, man.

[TOOLbassplayer]

Thank you very much, I appreciate it.

[cenyan13]

Not quite impossible, it works with a warkwick corvette std bubinga, if you keep the action very low. along with the right effects and levels

[cenyan13]

@dlhamilt Warwick get a very similar sound, theyre both different beasts. but i get a pretty perfect tone on a warwick too(; hehe toolbassplayer hates me

[maritree]

FUCKING LOVE IT!! u really do kick ass!

[rightintwo76]

i can see a lp custom under his arm pit lol :D

[kIwiZaLegEND]

wow.... your gallien-Krueger gear sounds really amazing:D:D to me they seem to be like the...krank amp of the bass world

[TOOLbassplayer]

thanks but there is no Gallien Krueger in this video. I am not using it :)

[kIwiZaLegEND]

oh... my bad then:D well really cool tone anyway. i always wanted a wal bass and now that their factory is back online i ll finally order one... thats basically how i found your videos. you do really good covering, very pro-like:D... most douchebaggery infused covers on youtube are pure crap. People could learn alot from the likes of you: less bragging, more accuracy. Thanks

[tenshin78]

You dont need big hands, at least for an adult, I have small hands for a Bassist, I cant do a one-fret-per-finger on the first/forth frets, but I can play this song accordingly, everything is pretty close enough.

[elchivokrazy]

ey men, the afination its the standard ?

[PeJota615]

drop D

low high DADG

[akgbassguitarkidmsc]

Kickass dude!!! If you wouldnt mind saying (cause I know some people for whatever reason are really wierd about it) could you tell me what the EQ settings are on the head/preamp or whatever it is your using? I know alot of it is in the bass preamp as well...

[cliffingdor]

your fucking hand

[silentorah]

thank you very much!!! this has made learning very easy,, i wish all youtube bass covers were this good

[dfoxx007]

In the very first riff, is that an actual pull-off

or are you just hitting the octave and letting it ring? I've never been able to figure that out...

[RandomnessM]

amazing!

[T00Lology100]

Definately the hardest bass line on the album, im having a lot of trouble with forty six & 2 as well, specifically the chords starting at("ive been crawling on my belly"), any tips? Sick playing by the way

[6Black6Dragulia6]

great song !!!

[skirry]

awesome! Which effect did you use??

[SimonRivas]

Sick cover. Fuck the pick haters. Justin plays mostly with a pick.

[thismortalsoil92]

Does Justin Chancellor use a pick?

Awesome cover by the way

[falcon45ca]

Justin Chancellor strikes the strings with his own voice, which is the voice of GOD. If you watch him closely with your eyes closed you'll see he doesn't even move. In fact it's like he's not even there.

[tenshin78]

JA JA JA JA, best comment ever!

[dfoxx007]

He uses a pick most of the time.

He does use his fingers on 10,000 days; the song, I mean.

[BarneysMusicIsGood]

great cover my friend,

wha tkind of bass is that? (:

[Makonu2]

looks like a Wal MkII

[drugsish]

great cover man. its a real fun song 2 play.

[evhspence999]

nice job with the triplets, those can be tough to match up with the drums

[defection3]

dude that is sick and i love ur bass

[rankfilms]

=] awesome!

[XnecrosadisticX]

Get rid of the pick and play like a man! Just kidding man, sick cover, Tool is in my top 3 favorite bands, keep up the good work.

[sasdasfas]

which are the other two in your top? and the cover is awesome your bass sounds amazing

[SimonRivas]

Justin plays with a pick nearly all the time.

[OnlyByFishStandards]

sick man

[MrElemental84]

When I was at Tool's show in Pomona (recently) Schism was performed and when it came down to the bass synth solo I thought "Damn Toolbassplayer has the shit perfect" they also performed this tune . Peace.

[jarhead4214]

[jarhead4214]

[higyhagd]

addinq this one to my favorites

[nicoptw]

I know you´ve been asked this 10,000 times, but is there any bass that may sound close to a wal? like a stingray for instance? I´m realy influeced by JCs sound (and yours as well) and jeff caxide´s (isis). Already got a few stompboxes, but stills need to find a new bass. Any advice?

[thejohnofsteel]

well jeff uses a stingray...

[DeltaGaryGordon]

Steinberger Spirit sounds a lot like a wal in some of the videos i have seen. You can look them up

[Rocket1771]

Justin used a Stingray for some on Aenima

[tigeraven2112]

he used the Stingray on H. and Forty Six & 2

[immortalxfrog]

Great shit! Tone and playing is flawless, as usual! Keep it up, man!

[LostReality33]

awesome. shit i give THIS 5 Stars. ( accidentally pressed 2 SORRY)

[Caltelt]

Lol no problem I picked 8 stars, so it evens out to 5.

[bigbore660]

Great as usual Brad. Thanks to you for helping me learn this song. Please checkout the vid of my band covering this song at a big show we did. Tell me what you think!

[Nathfunk]

Top stuff man!

Keep 'er lit!

[johnnydowning]

[mooseface13]

Opeth + Line in plzz?

[mikul93]

Quality shit man!

[patbuck2]

Brad, you never cease to amaze me. I'm excited for tooltabs to start up again.

[Kooldac]

ending distortion was GT2?

[TOOLbassplayer]

yes :)

[chrisplummer]

flawless.

[campclimax]

Hey You finally nailed the part at 1:41, good job!

[TOOLbassplayer]

Thx bud!

[PXNDXN]

Very nice man, personally i prefer the sound of the wal than the spector, perfect as always!! 5* :D

[mattzena]

slightly outta sync at my end - enjoying these vids though keep it coming.

[TOOLbassplayer]

must be your computer bro. Perfectly synched here. :(

[ToolKid21]
