"Parabola" from Tool's "Lateralus" album (2001).
Couple of things I'd like to say about this video.
1. Some riffs are obviously not "accurate" since it's not even on a 5 string bass to begin with.
2. I've had to make an octave change in the main riff because it's too difficult to do the 8/7 pull-off, and then jump to the 3rd fret within a nanosecond.
3. I changed the first chord of some bars during the pre-chorus. You can't suddenly grab that G chord when your finger is still at the 12th fret. I decided to just play the low G, and then add the high G.
4. 81% of 520 people chose for "yes", so I hope you all enjoy it :)
Some important information that nobody is going to read.

This is perfection. It should be part of your master playlist instead of expert in my opinion.

[@LeoBassCovers2]

Thanks man! Thing is though, i didn't have a lot of trouble during the recording of this video. Setting up the bass with this tuning is the real nightmare.

Oh, I remember we were talking about this!

[@robertlivingstone7940]

Love the bass. Got the burgundy one myself🙌 love your tab work thank you 🙏

[@LeoBassCovers2]

Oh damn, burgundy looks quite cool too. No problem!

[@vatoman1398]

I wanna see Justin use a 6 or 8 string on a song....would be really interesting!!!!

[@LeoBassCovers2]

I don't think he'd be able to play that actually. He likes it simple

@@LeoBassCovers2 6 string basses aren't really that hard, just much crampier

It's definitely not easy..

Bro, super nice cover

Thank you!

Fuckin amazing, mate 🪿

[@LeoBassCovers2]

Thanks a lot!

This looks more difficult than the 4 string version. I think by showing how it's played on a 5 string shows why their tuning is B-E-D-G. It allows the octaves to be played in a simpler manner, not that Tool do anything simple

[@LeoBassCovers2]

It is wayyyy more difficult than the original tuning! So yeah, definitely agreed

[@coco94k]

i totally agree, thats why i think ill just continue to play the 4s version on my 5s and just ignore that A string 😅

[@NitromantoHDTR]

How are there not more comments/this video isn't as liked at the 4 stringed version?

[@kimunpark2192]

Cause less people own a 5 string bass.

[@strayorion2031]

@@kimunpark2192 And this version is harder, tbh this is for people like me who rather spend a few extra hours practicing than a few seconds tuning

[@deathlorddude8509]

Can you make one of these with one of TOOL's drop D songs, I'm curious how differently the heavier strings sounds

[@LeoBassCovers2]

Hmm would be interesting. But which song..

[@matthijswildeboer]

Nice, now i wouldnt need to b and a drop. Just one question, you played the chords with distortion in this one but not in the 4 string version and I'm wondering if its officially with or without distortion just so I can get a more accurate sound.

[@LeoBassCovers2]

Zo te zien ben ik het gewoon helemaal vergeten ;)
But yes, it is supposed to be played with some overdrive/distortion on top of the normal layer of distortion. I just completely forgot I guess. Good luck though, this version is a lot more difficult than the original one.

[@matthijswildeboer]

Haha kan gebeuren he!
Okay then I'll add a bit of overdrive on the amp and distortion on my effect pedal, thanks!
