Tool - "Lateralus" (Bass Cover)

The're a lot to Tool's music and Justin Chancellor's use of textures, sounds and percussively cutting tone just blow my mind. This is a great example of the potential reached when you challenge the status quo!

[@ZombieJesus1987]

One thing I absolutely love about Justin Chancellor is that he lets the notes ring out

[@ishnanachie242]

Its called feeling the vibration

[@aroundthefur1210]

While this whole thing was very impressive, we are all just really waiting for 7:22 right?? I mean come on, how fucking cool is that part??!!

[@sz5876]

Exactly

[@tavoarq1]

Fucking cool? you are wrong ! is fucking awesome, first time i heard that song and he play really bad ass

[@SantaCruzOM]

This is the truth

[@MrHanky78]

NASA wonders what it's really like to travel through a worm or black hole. I think we found the answer at 7:22

[@jackb3724]

@@MrHanky78I shit you not just the other day this part made me think of scenes from interstellar with the black holes and worm holes

[@mikemeech6344]

Playing Tool fingerstyle and killing it. What a fucking legend!

[@JurrienMusic]

even though its a bass cover, it still inspires me to play on my guitar, just by seeing how you enjoy playing this

[@otreborrelsserd945]

Well, i watch the vid and get my guitar to join the cover cuz i love Lateralus. Great cover.

[@mxpwr4003]

Anyone with a decent bass output system get addicted to these videos lol, +1

[@organicmechanic5150]

Great use of tone, it sounds deeper than Justin's studio version, giving it more presence and depth. Outstanding work as always.

[@kellogc]

Thanks for watching 🤘🏻☺️

[@remizik]

awesome ! and i'm very jealous of that mk1

[@MurphysLawww]

Dude, this is amazing. Massive props on your playstyle and the tone you've managed to recreate with this. Was in a crappy mood until I stumbled upon your channel! Respect from a fellow Tool fan and bassist!

[@kellogc]

Thanks a lot my friend! I'm glad you liked it ;)

[@msresu]

You deserve million view in KZbin..

[@kellogc]

Thank you!

[@EgyptOverseerbb]

Absolutely flawless! Very good technique. Can't stop watching. Great work on the effects as well.

[@Psychedeloshippie]

Man I’ve looking at too many covers and tabs of this song. Thinking I was always playing the chorus wrong but my ear does not deceive me. Thank you 😂

[@vanguardghost2285]

killer tone, awesome

[@miguelitos]

Your tool covers are spot on and crazy emulation on the tool tone - whenever someone thinks bass is a 2nd rate instrument I just send them to one of your covers and watch their minds change

[@YamaKinoko]

Watching you play with such passion is a true honor, Thank you!

[@Aaron_Gentry]

Fantastic performance. And played finger style too - even better :)

[@fixxxt]

This makes me happy.

[@CarolinaFlorianovengz]

Amazing, no words, just upload more videos playing Tool

[@kellogc]

Thanks! 👊🏻

[@TheSlain1969]

Which effects do you use in this rendering of Lateralus Kello? That sound is absolutely amazing and spot on!!

[@kurtborchers6178]

i think it's an overdrive and a delay towards the end. i hate to mention another channel, but there's a Leo's bass covers on here and he's got the effects listed. he's done tons of Tool covers. Kello's tone is way sicker, but the other guy's got the info.

[@stevenborgogna]

Rock on! \m/

[@chriscollins50]

Ugggggh dat tone!

[@richardvoyageur]

Kello, what if you did a quick recap on your settings at the beginning of each song? would probably be very popular, just a quick screenshot or something

[@kellogc]

That’d be cool. Although as now I’m using Helix I’m not sure how much it may relate to most people. What do you think? 👊🏻

[@richardvoyageur]

@@kellogc Maybe try it out on one of your upcoming videos, I think a lot of people are interested in how you get your tone to match and be so different from vid to vid. Or maybe do a video of you talking about Helix and how you use it, or demonstrate how you get your tone for a particular song?

[@riseasonemiddleclass2806]

Hola Kello, ¿cómo has estado? Quisiera saber cuál es la configuración que utilizaste para tu Whammy. Gracias :D Se te aprecia mucho acá en Colombia.

awesome man... new subs to your Channel.

[@MrDieseldog]

Nice ,nice nice love your sound my man,here is a suggestion.....you and JohnKew(Drums) should get together and do some sounds for us diehards of Tool.........nicely done Kello,I can listen all day.

[@fer_rm]

Chingon!

[@euclydesco]

Braaaaavo!

[@aleckaleck1041]

muy buen cover, muy muy bueno tu estilo hermano...felicitaciones...

[@xxplosiv88]

That was just phenomenal. So great watching it being done on a Wal too. Can you get a similar tone with other basses that have two humbucker pickups?

[@pat8437]

So from what I’ve gathered, no, not really. But you can get close with a sansamp, Ernie ball rounds and a pick is probably important.

[@delko-c6m]

Holy shit that toooooooone

[@keithherbert6533]

just fucken jam. it smoks

[@xMtysx02]

thats how you play a fucking cover

[@BaronVonRichtofen]

Thumpin'

[@drewsneed17]

hey man! great vid: I'm looking to buy my first bass to play Tool and similar tones, would you recommend a mildly-priced P- bass with active humbuckers? or what would you suggest for someone who can't afford a Wal (just yet)? Thanks!

[@jacobcousins4234]

Drew Sneed Ernie ball stingrays can get very close

[@brooksk.5330]

Even a Sterling sub series can get really close, they're around like 300 I paid for mine, saw the price and almost didn't pick it up, but for that price it is a tone monster, also the closest you're going to get to a Wal without one is a G&L double humbucker model, they're usually between 700 and 1300 I believe

[@DWELLERONTHETHRESHHOLD]

i'm curious about your gear you use in your tool covers

[@ernestogomez1889]

Cómo está afinado Justin de Tool?

[@kellogc]

Generalmente está en Dropped D (DADG) 🤘🏻

[@thomasblalock4454]

Dame mane if a replacement is ever needed in tool....

[@luigidemasi]

how did you get that attack with fingers? did you use a pedal or it's just a plucking techniques? Awesome cover!!!

[@kellogc]

Luigi De Masi well, you've got to pluck hard

[@kellogc]

jambi yes, all Wal basses have the "pick attack" feature that enhances treble frequencies. Interestingly enough, I'm not using it. I'm actually have rolled down the tone knob to cut some treble.

[@kellogc]

These basses do have a natural growl. I've owned 2 and this one has a more treble timbre than the previous one I owned. They are definitely more predominant on the mid frequencies

[@basstler84]

How do you setup your Wal bass? (pick up balance + Filter option both pick up´s + trim pottis in the elektronic/battery-space + (realy no?) pick attack) i own a Wal Mk2 since two day´s (YEAH!!! :-P) and try all the diffrent seting options. Love your sound!!

[@pedroventurim3882]

Hey man, im a brasilian fan and I LOVE your covers, HOW Did you do to isolate the bass on the original music? Ps: AWSOME COVER!

[@lumbda7217]

There's a page called remixpacks, there are the tracks for each instruments of songs

[@applesxP]

sick cover man! what effect did you use to get that sound at 7:22?

[@kellogc]

It's whammy and fuzz

[@MegaNeonight]

So heavy.Did you use darkglass effect in that cover?

[@Lateralusaint.]

iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii fuckiiiiiiiiiiiiiiin haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[@Fabmuchada]

On the 7:22 part waht bass effect did you use?

[@GillRigged]

Who's that in the pic on the wall? Quite the Cliff pose.

[@danmusser3213]

fuck ya!

[@Ahimsaabbott]

I'm trying to match Chancellor's sound but on a budget... What three effects would you say are necessities for the best sound? Awesome video and thank you and peace.

[@kellogc]

Well, in terms of pedals I'd say a good distortion that allows you to blend wet and dry signals (Tech21 VTBass DI, Darkglass B7k), a high gain fuzz (MXR Blowtorch, Mountainking Megalith, etc) and a Chorus (TC Corona, Tech21 Bass Chorus, EBS Unichorus). Those three effects will get you close to several sounds used by Justin. I listed the ones that I've used and know will work but are not the only options. I hope this helps

[@Ahimsaabbott]

+Kello Gonzalez thank you so much. I already have an ensemble chorus on the way. Thanks for the awesome vids. I've played bass guitar and several other instruments but I've been completely in the dark about Bass effects.

[@patjeudy5250]

+Kello Gonzalez Awesome!

[@sdglsbjx4777]

tremendo hermano!!! como suena ese bajo

[@Jonura]

qué pasa hermano! qué delay usas al versionar Tool?? la disto es un vt no???

[@larsetom1]

How would you compare the Wal to your Warwick?

[@zombecadezapallo]

Gran version!....un abrazp

[@XavThaMan]

Is that a real Wal?? or a custom look a like?

[@kellogc]

It's a real Wal MK1 ;)

[@XavThaMan]

AWESOME!!!!

[@jarrodderr]

They sell those at Walmart?

[@soeffingwhat]

Do you use these effects for your own Live gigs?

[@kellogc]

Yes, it my actual pedal rig

[@johnnys2096]

Kello Gonzalez Do you mind if i ask what your pedals consist of or atleast what the most common effects are?

[@kellogc]

I use Demeter Compulator compressor - Sansamp bddi - Digitech Bass whammy - Tech21 VTBassDI - Mountainking Megalith fuzz - Chunk Systems Brown dog fuzz - Morley Dual Bass Wah - MXR bass envelope filter - TC Corona Chorus - TC Helix Phaser - TC Flashback Delays
