OF COURSE. Chasing this tone my whole life, the answer was buy a frigging Wal. Oof.
Just get an eq and you’ll be alright
@@BobJones-bh9qz ya’d think…I copycatted most of his pedal chain (parallel processing included)…it takes just a little more than an eq
It’s a stingray being used on 46 and 2 on the album. Also I can get pretty close to his tone with his cabinets, plus rat/eq
Might also want to look into the Nordstrand Big BladeMan pickup. It was designed with a lot of input from Justin Chancellor.
@@trentkraemer7109 that’s awesome, I use a rat to get Aenima tones on my guitar.
Ian: Because there is really that point in the upper mid range
Scott: AHH AHH AHH AHH AHH
Scott trying to imitate that 2k sound😂
Ooh?
Everything reminds me of her. I around message hee, lol.
I’ve seen TOOL twice and they blew my mind both times. Then again, it might have been the acid.
I saw prong tripping balls back in 95. Still my favorite concert ever. 😬🤟. Party on!!
Lmao I've seen Tool twice and both times acid was involved. Incredible experiences.
Most sober TOOL fan
why tf would you feel the need to take drugs
@@failtolawl ever had coffee or alcohol? Both are drugs and are more toxic for your body than LSD.
Justin has a strong picking hand too, really gets those notes to pop and ring out
Yup!
and his action is low af
It's his picking angle too. He really scrapes the strings.
@@horriblepizza4647if you play with a fresh dunlop tortex triangle pick blue or purple size and some cobalt hybrid ernie balls you can definitely get that sound 👌
It was flanger not phaser
It's still a good "tool" to have.
Saw tool and Primus together, Justin‘s tone and les’ sound so great when you put them together playing at the same time
Amazing!
Justin's punching mids along with his piercing highs really compliment les' more low-end bass tone
I just think of “Sailing the Seas of Cheese” 🧀 and “46 and 2” together lol
I believe that song were recorded with Justin playing a Music Man!
I thought he switched from the stingray to the wal on that album. The ray was for playing Paul’s stuff from before he got there.
The tone is bang on with the tone from The Pot; so I’d bank that 46&2 was a Justin/Wal track
@@ianzimmer1990nope. Stingray
@@ianzimmer1990 stingray
@@ianzimmer1990 Didn't Paul play a Rick?
@@ianzimmer1990 A Wal bass was brought into the studio after Tool had already recorded about 3 or so songs with a StingRay. Justin finished the album with the Wal.
These guys are such bass nerds I Iove it
By FARRR my favorite Tool song to play on bass. Such a groove.
🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
can u please tell me the name of the song
@@yuvrajkocher Forty-six and 2
@@nog0dsnomasters Thx mate
I read in a bass guitar magazine (yes they used to have those!) that Justin Chancellor had two different bass rigs; one for clean, an 8x10 cab with sound components, & a dirty rig with a 4x12 & whatever components. He could switch back & forth from each 😧
You didn’t ready very clearly. He’s has both those rigs, but he blends them together at the same time and runs a separate preamp to the front out house.
Not a big tool fan, but i love their early shit, buit the bass tone is probably the best and most memorable, noticeable bass tone of all time
He’s plucking a little more abrasively too.
Flanger my friend!
justin recently said he uses all knobs on full and the blend in the middle position
I was lucky enough to see tool in 06 in camden at the sony center.
It was raining really hard and we were the only people on the grass.
They would not let us sit under the roofed area so we sat all the way in the back against the fence and enjoyed Tool in the Storm in out rain jackets.
Watching A Tool concert outside in a monsoon, with the Battleship NJ just off to our side was sublime, to say the least.
During the show the singer stopped and looked right at us and asked if we were enjoying ourselves up there.
I screamed 'Yell Ya! Tool Rocks!' and then said 'even more if we could move up inside' I guess it was raining too hard for him to hear that part.
Couldn't even get a shirt.
They closed the stands because of the storm.
Was still a great show.
Hope to get to see them again someday.
Oh yea, TOOL STILL ROCKS!
This is my favorite thing to play by tool on bass ❤
I love that guitar. Absolutely gorgeous.
I don’t know who this other bald bass guy is but I like his attitude
Justin also does strong picks, almost sounds like a pluck.
Just like guitarists, it’s all in the hands. And everyone has different hands. So gear and tone wise you can get as close as you can. But at some point, it always just comes down to the player.
Chancellor is a beast!
Thats's so cool! Thank you for sharing
Love SBL and the great info Both of you Drop consistently.
As of today there’s finally a new rig rundown video that goes over everything.
Dude's voice is SO similar to Anthony Padilla's (the guy with the black shirt)
omg I can’t unhear that now! 😂
Incredible, turning the knobs changes the sound.
🤣🤣🤣
Tone knob! That's all it is! Wow. Why didn't I think of that? Brilliant content here.
🧡🧡🧡
My old Alembic Spoiler bass had a Q filter that sounded a bit like a cocked wah pedal, you could just precisely add some higher mids to punch through any mix...
Worked fine if you had the time to fiddle about with it in a studio, but for live it was very difficult to get thát sweet spot.
I'd've preferred something like a varitone style setup, with fixed values - saves time to look for the exact frequencies.
I’ve found that having some cool music gear , is awesome !!
I’m sure you do need a friend to sit and tweak dials while you play .
It’s just a darn Flanger!
A Wal bass is a tone machine.
I'm not a big fan of pick players damn that guy uses a pick and use it the right way incredible bass player,,
Lovely inspiration for Dream Theater:
Scene Six: Home · Metropolis, Pt. 2: Scenes from a Memory
Man 😂 it’s almost ridiculous… You have a Wal bass!!! Whatever you do, it’s always gonna kind of sound like Justin’s tone
That’s what I call a happy accident ! Sounds spot on ! 😊
Do “the Pot” next! Woo woo
WOW A FLANGER! :O WILD
What is the name of this song I HAVE to learn it
46 & 2 by Tool, have fun!
@@trentkraemer7109 thx so much 😊
Wait till you come across Schism 🤯
Sounds like a heavy flanger/phaser
I dont know much about bass but i tink justin attacks the bass like a guitar
Don’t underestimate using Steel strings, he has Ernie ball but I’ve like DR steel strings too, but nothing bites like steel
Gotta be a Musicman for 46&2.
I'd like to put forward that the top end comes from his attack, it almost sounds like slapping.
🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
As a bassist, you get into Tool and realize they should have named their previous album 10,000 dollars :(
What bass is that?
Wal MK1, usually upwards of $10,000..
Buying a wal would trap me in a financial wal.... so to speak.
The live performance sounds like ALL treble
Well it was recorded with a phone so... there's that
Brand new strings, hard picking and a thick pick will also help achieve his tone
There's an entire rig rundown on UA-cam
Love how Ian always sounds better than the original
Except for when he doesn't... like now
What song is this
Tool - Forty Six & 2 🔥
Definitely sounds like a Phase-Shifter is being used.
It’s a flanger
Rachelle Aurelio fl #1
What pickups are those?? Anyone??
Those are Wal's proprietary multi coil pickups
💯💯💯
what show is the clip at the start from???
Can you get a tone like this with a passive bass and hot tube amp?
Yes, plus some fresh, bright roundwound strings!
Do I need active pickups to acquire the chancellor tone i have an epiphone thunderbird iv
Hey dude. Justin Chancellor's tone is undoubtedly unique, but active pickups alone won't guarantee it. Experiment with your gear, try different settings, and don't forget to add your personal touch to find the sound that suits you best! 🙌🏻🧡🔥
6-10k bass helps
Thinking of stick SD Rick pickups in a Squier Jazz Bass, but neck will be up closer to neck,
Don’t care what it looks like😂,
It sounds more tinny live
How to get that tool bass tone: Win in the lottery and buy a Wal bass. Pretty simple.
You guys used a Wal to play one of the few Tool songs that wasn’t recorded with a Wal…. 46 & 2 was recorded with a Stingray (although he has played it live for years with a Wal)
He probably starts by not using a bc rich warlock bronze series in neon yellow
Quite a big fan of tool and of justin
Wouldnt call the 46 & 2 sound "THE tool sound" imho
Maybe not THE tool sound, but absolutely a cornerstone of Justin’s TOOLbox
Pls tell me what song this is.
Tool - 46 and 2
@@devinebass thank you so much
honest question, Wals are expensive are they really that good? and at what point do you just buy it for the name
You can get the sound out of lots of basses, then add flanger. Close enough is good enough, I think. no need to get a Wal
Flanger?
It's basically just a high pass filter?
Song?
Tool - Forty Six & 2
What pickups are those ??
They look like humbuckers to me.
@@ling2553 special wal pick ups
The easy way is to buy a looper pedal.
Just get a 10000$ bass and a part time employee to turn the knob for you and you're there. Easy!
What's the song
Tool - Forty Six & 2
Justin’s the English guy right? If so that is my friends cousin
Money
The bassman uses something like a flanger at very low speed.
I use a flanger…
/chorus pedal
yeah that's not even close... the amp setting are way off and it's flanger. not phaser.. but nice try anyways 🤘🏼
Univision extremely tryst flange pedal..
Be honest with you combined it with the strings he's using. Crisp sound..
davie504 wouldnt wanna see that
🤣🤣🤣
Too bass,s if there is such a thing
But ... why would you want to?
Or just use some modulation like he ACTUALLY does...
When a bass player figures out they can make more than one sound: 🤯
Its obviously very trejbly. Wal yes tone off. Tool? People are so silly. ... And its in doubly. More than likely copying paul d anour since he wrote that song.
And you still didn't get the top end to sound right... and you're playing a Wal!!!
Its illegal
LOL complex bass...
Bro thinks hes justin chancellor 💀💀💀
So.. what then? You use the tone knob? What a revelation
Wal's have filters, not traditional tone knobs. The filters change frequencies. A tone knob just rolls off treble.
Also using flange pedal, but yes^
@@handidrummed So what they failed to mention was specifically what frequency is being boosted once you get close to Justone
