TOOL- The Grudge Bass Cover (Hi Def direct in)

[collideherscope]

man i want a WAL so bad... and im not even a bass player!!

[Kanikacyst]

you forgot about articulation...

[Lateralusist]

P.S. Marry me.

[dudebeer36]

tool is so much fun to play, woooooooohhhhhh,,,

[werein12345]

Tool is soooo fuckin chill.... This is the one band that got me really hearing the bassline in the records i listened to.

[ManiacleMasterMindTV]

This is great, The only thing better then this is justin Chancellor himself but seriously am I the only bassist that uses my fingers xD Jk..

[Skulrath]

@ManiacleMasterMindTV Nah man, I do too. Sounds good either way though :D

[ColoradoSon19]

songs like mesmirizing

[Scarface066]

The thing that makes TOOL so fucking great is, rather than growing bored with them through time, the deeper you look into them - the more interesting they become! I've listened to TOOL since 2nd grade, but began to further appreciate them in 8th when I picked up bass. Watching this only rekindled my appreciation for them! Great fucking cover, man! :D

[TheVanquisher66]

What effect are you using?



[tcuk11]

and i just came,..

[Jollyballz5000]

How long did it take you to get this song down?

[bootheguru]

Listen to this cover so much... good job man

[nemajake]

good job,keep rockin' .....

[xmissmidnightsunx]

MADNESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

love it dude

[ShiGuy321]

Amazing bass. How much did you pay for it? I've been wanting a wal bass so bad.

[badassII]

Your positions and finger choices are anyway very strange but it seems work for you.

[puppetmetal]

What settings do you have your Delay set for?

[rafaelillustrator]

Brilliant.



[SneakyTarsier]

Man, this looks like a fucking FUN song to play. Guess I'll be spending my day learning this, as well :)

[Vertpill]

awesome cover and seriously wtf is up with the 8 dislike seriously can you guys do better hahahaha this cover is the shit!!

[rileyts33]

i'm not even gonna attempt this song

[Kantorounet]

@rileyts33

This song is actually not that difficult.

Takes a little time to understand, to get familiar with the time signature, and it goes easely.

[SebVettel18]

Awesome tone.

[lagranged86]

I suggest getting "TOOLTABS.NET" tattooed on your fretting hand. Might stop some of the "tabs plz" posts.

[Bandanakid3121]

Do you have the tabs for this :3

[spiderfreak8]

what pedal are you using..??

[DarkPunisher13]

Nice cover man very nice. I like your style, you have a solid form as well. I noticed you use Mark Bass heads too, they are great little machines. Your using a Little Mark II right?

[ImaLambofGodFan]

your videos are amazing, great bassist

[MrDeeeeeee]

u made it look easy

it srsly iznt tht easy to play :P

[VladFerdinand1]

dude i absolutely love ur videos, they help me learn the songs better than the tabs do. fantastic work :D

[SlappaDeBassMon]

Lol i always check your videos to make sure im playing it right, and I am which is good lol, and very good job, you make this appear so effortless.

[maritree]

YEOOOWW!!!!!! wow you make me so excited!! fkn love it.. really really fkn awesome!

TOOL R THE GR8TEST!

you play it so damn good! xx

[T00Lology100]

This looks really complicated, i think i should stick with aenima for a little longer, get that down pat

[Pblack476]

is ti just me but all of your hi def videos seem a little out of sync? the video looks a little delayed.

[thumphrey05]

so do you just use the fingering that seems easiest or do you try to use live footage to try to figure it out? well done.

[scihizium]

19th November - Justin Chancellors Birthday Todday!!!

[MarceloBassist]

yeahhhh a

[StepXX]

Thank You very much for posting all these videos!

Due to You I discovered "Tool" for myself (I was initially looking for some sound samples of Wal basses).

Last week I received 3 of their albums!!! BTW Now spinning them almost constantly in my player.

P.S. Hope to scratch 3200 pounds + for one such beautiful (in all respects) instrument. But Mike Lull V4 is more than enough for me now and for what it does : )

Thanks again! Hail from Ukraine \m/

[PMR242424]

man il cant wait to get my own bass and make my own cover of this song

[sindrec8]

Very good mate. I enjoy the premium sound and picture quality.

[pixelatedxdeath]

Amazing as always :D

[veritasuo]

Geeze dude, its been a while. Still as great as ever, what a song to come back with!

[joevanni90]

finally you're back! xD

[DeRok2008]

is it just me or does the video quality on this video not seem as HD as previous videos? sweet cover man

BTW what would any of you recomend for a new set of pickups that would fit an Ibanez Soundgear SR300M

[zben504]

I'm not sure if Bartolini's would fit but usually Bartolini's+ibanez = a good time : )

[azombiestool]

You say you were playing just through sansamp bass driver DI. Why arent you doing direct in from your GK? ... do you still have it?? ://

[MattHood]

try a whirlwind active DI, i use a bunch of them when i engineer bands live and in studio, they really get the bass tone down without sucking it up.

[BleedingWalls420]

Awesome job. The end of this song is SO hard.

[PolarityArt]

i want your bass >:|

[toolchick71]

You make mama proud!

[lordofwar528]

Dude you should definitely do a hi-def version of Right In Two, that would be sick

[spl100]

Man, the tone is a little odd, but excellent playing.

Although I feel the part around 2:50 is a little off.

I think its incredibly close, but hey, the album version is waaay to muddy to get right. Any comments on that?

[TOOLbassplayer]

not off bro. That's it. :)

[spl100]

Perfect then :D

[iLoveOlivaMunn]

i agree with spl100, around 2:50 you are slightly off, its ok to admit you made a mistake man.

[TOOLbassplayer]

I am off. If you watch the Hartford CT video from sept 01 it shows it...hard to see what he's doing...i need to go back and listen again

[iLoveOlivaMunn]

true, other then that man you nailed it, im digging your new tone, when did you get that set up?

[TOOLbassplayer]

bro this tone sucks in my opinion. This is just me playing through a sansap bass driver di. That's it.

[iLoveOlivaMunn]

yeah its not the juicy tone you get with your other set up, but its not bad, i guess cuz i got use to listening to my shitty basists's tone that this one just sounds nice to me.

[canem101]

Fucking A!!! awesome!

[orlock2102]

Kick ass as usual! I've been wanting to learn this one for some time now, this will help a ton =) Thanks!

[zulu650]

CLUCHIN LIKE A CONER STONE

nice cover man

[elusivEuphoria]

Wow... there is so much more going on in the bass line than I have ever noticed before.

[ridefour15]

dammit man, you make me really want to get a bass

[ragedemonz]

Heh this song still seems to require the most dexterity of their songs; good consistency.

Do you think the tabs from Tooltabs may come back up soon? if not do you have them or know if the apache server with them is back up somewhere?

[eettocs]

Dude, you should cover some Alice in Chains.

Would? WOULD be awesome to hear like this.

[992171B]

That's a good idea, Would is one masterpiece!

[syn5643]

Do you have a compressor you run? Your tone sounds So close, I just think the compresser would give some more bite to the pop and mix things down to a solitary level like on the Record. Just asking not critising... 5 stars like always!

[TOOLbassplayer]

dude I am only tuning through a sansamp bass driver. no amp at all. I don't like the tone either...very nasal. Wait till you guys here my new cabs... ;)

[syn5643]

No shit, good tone for just the SA. WHAT? New cabs?

[TOOLbassplayer]

I cant stand the tone in this video..this is a bass driver DIA. However I did sell my Neo 412 and now have 2 Neo 410 cabs...it sounds beastly

[MDKMusicMan]

Hey brad I had a question about the part around 4:13...now correct me if I'm wrong but I could have swore I heard his Bottom Wah at that part. Or is it perhaps something else? I dunno that's just what I've always heard I guess lol. Anywho badass cover none-the-less. 5/5

[TOOLbassplayer]

he does use it..mine's broken. ;)

[MDKMusicMan]

YOU BROKE IT?! HOW?! lol Those are out of production aren't they?! AGH! lol

[TOOLbassplayer]

The switch on it is a piece of shit. The switch broke probably from me stompin on it so hard. The WR-3 is the same exact pedal..no biggie.

[MDKMusicMan]

Oh ok lol Well that totally understandable. I've broken quite a few pedals doing that shit. But yeah if you do re-do this one you should use your auto-wah. :) I'll have to look into the WR-3; I'm still looking for a good auto-wah.

[TOOLbassplayer]

The guyatones are NOT good auto-wahs in my opinion. If you want to sound like Justin then it works but there are so many better pedals out there.

[MDKMusicMan]

Ah well I wouldn't mind sounding like him but I don't want to EXACTLY ya know? What would you suggest be thee best bang for the buck out there? I'm just starting to pull my pedal together and everything and I figured you'd have some better experience than I would lol.

[TOOLbassplayer]

Well I don't want to sound EXACTLY like him either..except when I am playing Tool. :-P

[HollowRoseMedia]

markbass cabs? thats what i use with my LM2

[TOOLbassplayer]

I traded in my 2x10 MB cab. You should hear the LMII through a GK Neo 410...My God

[HollowRoseMedia]

Oh nice man, I was thinking about going with the GKs when I was getting my set up. I look foreword to hearing them with the almighty LMII!

I went with the markbass 4x10 hr

[thabasszist]

seems like you could use your pinky on some of those stretches around 1:46....but w.e. thats my opinion

[tigeraven2112]

i ALSO heard (and saw the website) that Wal is back up and running :D im so excited!

[TOOLbassplayer]

yes they are but starting at 3100 lbs is insane...that's like $5500.....to start. yikes!

[tigeraven2112]

yeah i went on the website and i saw that, i was really shocked at THAT much, i was thinking it would be like $3000 to start, but like $5500 XD wow. i needa post more vids soon... :) i love this video

[tigeraven2112]

fuckin OWND Brad! \m/ that old mystery part around 2:53 is what i thought it was but i waited for you to post the video so i could see. i spent literally a whole week listening and watching to figure out how to play it cuz its so low in the mix, FINALLY. thank you for the videos and your time and effort to help, you are one of the greatest people ever :) i justw ant to know if you are gunna re-do your pedalboard video, id like to see what changes you've made, as im making mine very soon :) \m/

[Thecorrectopinion]

great stuff man

[patbuck2]

Justin Chancellor is reason enough to make one want to pick up bass. Nice cover. I love the grudge with a passion.

[kevownzu]

@patbuck2

try les claypool way better than this justin tool

[bojanks15]

@kevownzu tool and primus are great no reason to compare

[Lordgout]

@patbuck2 He is the only bassist that inspires me!!

[GuyWithALife502]

@patbuck2 who really got me in to bass is chevelle an tool

[illbill10]

@patbuck2 same exact thing fer me

[Konformity1]

@patbuck2

One could even say you wear the grudge like a crown or clutch it like a cornerstone.

[TheStrangerInTheRye]

@Konformity1 A crown of negativity I presume.

[gato0ox]

FUCKKK MANNNN!!!! EXCELENT

[higyhagd]

man good 2 see yuh baqq man ive started doin Bass covers but no Tool lol theyre too hard for me, but keep up the vids man

[sesstreets]

Great playing btw.

[mooseface13]

[sesstreets]

[MasterBassist6993]

Perfect as usual. I want a WAL so bad. Really shines in this one.

[bagelman10]

[azombiestool]

And did you not use the BR-2 on the drum part at 4:15 ? :/

[Hiarch123]

I want your bass and talent so bad!!!

[PXNDXN]

OH MY DEAR GOD!!!!! Yeaaahh!!! Way to go Brad!!! My favorite cover of yours!!! And awesome as always!!! \m/

[ammoboy09]

You only need to accomplish one more item and then your bass playing will be perfect. You need to grow out your hair.

[remiiiiiii]

[PeJota615]
