Schism - Tool. Bass Cover

As some of you guys requested, here it is
Its safe to say its one of the most accurate versions... I have no tabs available =(
crappy quality, the video is a bit behind and i look ugly as hell
still it is ok

this song is originally played with a pick, but I hate picks... the tone is thus made by a shitty multi effect pedal.

thanx for watching

At 4:03 the bass is the one making that noise. He uses a bass whammy, hammers the notes, and swells the volume at the same time. Just thought I'd point that out since you decided to proclaim this is the most accurate version available.

I love your Day of the Baphomets solo cover and you're a very good bassist, but you should stop being so close minded when it comes to using a pick. You can get a lot more versatility out of your playing if you are good with both your fingers and a pick.

@Inthedeadofknight Thank you for your feedback, yeah, I know he uses the whammy in that part, unfortunately, i had no pedal by the time i made that video. Also, I found the use of the pick a bit uncomfortable, but ive been experimenting a lot with picks recently, and use them for some riffs. This song though, is much more natural to play with the fingers =)

Thank you for watching and commenting =)

(also, for everyone: I'M SORRY GUYS, I HAVE NO TABS AVAILABLE, I FORMATTED MY LAPTOP =/ )

lol the part at 4:00 is a bass man but you need to Distort it and no strum its with the dial

[Amputecht1]

I know... but my pedal isnt good. I need a wah

[Amputecht1]

I didn't use tabs

I dont like using tabs really...

i made some tabs for the other bass video i uploaded for Day of the Baphomets, from the mars volta, because it is a tough song. I recently formatted my laptop so i no longer have those tabs... sorry guys

I dont like the weird tone with whatever effect you are using, and if you are not gonna use a pick, why use a pedal to get that tone, why not just use your fingers, give it a different flavor, Im not saying Tool MUST be picked, but it was good, one of the best non-picked Schism covers. 5 stars.

[Amputecht1]

thank you!

yeah.. its a cheap pedal haha

ill buy guitar rig kontrol 3 soon

its awesome

[sesstreets]

Its ultimitly up to you if you want to play with a pick, but you will sound more toolesque if you use a pick.

YOu got a flanger or summin on that?

[illyas1]

why does everyone use a pick 4 this song?

[Inthedeadofknight]

Yeah I know what you mean, it took me awhile to get comfortable with a pick too but now I find it good for mixing in muted notes with the rhythms and the sound is a lot more crisp which can be useful.

I agree about this song being natural feeling to play with fingers because the rhythm flows so good but I just think it's impossible to get anywhere close to his tone without a pick (and a Wal bass haha).

HE'S FRICKN HOT AS HELL

Brilliant. I too am straight.

[sniperElias666]

There is the straight way and the gay way to play a bass. This guy is clearly straight.
