How Justin Chancellor's Bass Rig pushed Tool's music to the next level 📈

[@kastle4774]

i’m a guitarist and justin is EASILY my favorite member of tool. he just stays right up front and makes songs his own. god he’s good.

[@zonkz6947]

Hell yea. U can’t ignore Danny Carey’s insane drumming tho as well; coming from another fellow guitarist lol.

That's fascinating Queen D. What a great opportunity. I'm flattered you consider my video a resource thanks!

[@darrenbarnes4827]

Bit of trivia to add: Justin mentioned the green wal in a bass player magazine interview around 2009. The less pronounced mids lead to him using the original one on all of the 10 000 Days recordings, aside from Wings for Marie part 1+2. The green wal worked well played fingerstyle, he mentioned this track was the first he had recorded without pick. The same article he gave a full layout of his pedal/amp setup inc wiring sequences, which you may find useful for the second part of this vid. Couldnt find a link right now, but it must be posted somewhere. Still have the original mag somewhere in my house so hit me up if you want me to scan it for you.

[@WhichBass]

Hey Darren, that is really interesting. I would love to see the original article if you have it handy. Just to complete my research notes! I'd love for you to email me a copy or tweet me [e-mail] or @AlfieWilliamsUK

[@lasteffect]

Paul used an early model of the Ibanez ATK bass as well towards his end in Tool. There are photos and I think a video on KZbin from a live show. Also, the bass has made it on eBay before. It's very unique. Mirror pickgard and I believe a Rickenbacker like pick up in the stingray position. It was a very shiney bass.

[@natekinetic4655]

The greenburst Wal is an Mk3 model, not an Mk2. He also switched out the Wal electronics on it for the BigBlade electronics. His backup bass actually features a shedua top, and also has a fretless which is the one with the walnut top.

[@WhichBass]

I'm not sure about the Greenburst as in this interview he says its just a Mk2. It's in German but the translation says "There are now five (Wals). One of them is a fretless bass that I can not actually play (laughs) but if a good bassist ever comes to visit, I can offer him that. Then, in addition to my standard bass - of which I have an exact copy to replace - I have a walnut and a MK-II in green." So either he means Green or the Greenburst who knows! www.gitarrebass.de/stories/interview-mit-tool-bassist-justin-chancellor/

[@TheAldini10]

Which Bass he has a specially built Mk3 with an Mk2 headstock, which makes it appear as though it is an Mk2. He clearly misspoke. There are photos of him with the green burst and the body shape is akin to that of an Mk3.
