not to be a jerk, but why link a 5 string here?

[@stealingtomorrowband]

I hope that you guys was able to get Adam as well....and just saving it for another day.. and maybe Danny or his tech for the drum department

[@youKnowWho3311]

This is the vid I needed in my life.

Where was the intro to this video shot? Killer pinball machines!

[@cliffirwin9153]

So where's the link to the Wal then??? Surely Sweetwater is doing a promo on those too! 😝

[@chris_kies]

I hope everyone enjoys the episode! I tried to do all the Tool/bass fans justice! And thanks for indulging my extended intro ... keep rocking!

[@michaelszabelski6142]

Congrats on landing this one! Bur really, you've built a tremendous body of work with Rig Rundown and that brings with it these opportunities. Keep rollin!

[@JamesVanD]

Hell yes man! This is a big one. I met Justin once in their music clinic "tour" and found him to be such a lovely, kind person. I've also been a Tool fan for decades 🤘

[@dexxfilm]

You did great man!

[@thejship]

Great job keeping your cool, dude!

[@mattastic247]

The guys in Tool are really super nice and down to earth. I met Danny and Adam a bunch a long time ago and they were always kind and willing to talk shop. Looking forward to watching this one.

[@GitShiddy]

This better be the most watched Rundown of 2024.

[@lill3lars]

Definitely going to be my most watched

[@jimwhite4270]

Fleas rig rundown would also qualify:) Justin, Les, Robert T and Flea!

I'm gonna play it daily, I don't care

[@lukegulergun]

Wait until they get Adam it’s game over

You guys should include a "Purchase Gear Responsibly" warning label on all of the rig rundowns cuz I'm about to lose my house.

[@71calex]

4 year wait and 10k cost on a Wal last I looked.

The mid show string changes. what a legend.

[@gnrledzep4eva]

In my mind I'm like "does he know it's a bass?"

[@xymbolix]

5 MINUTES NO LESS...FFS

[@StefanMedici]

I was hoping for a demonstration of the string change process. Bet it's like watching a marine breakdown and reassemble his rifle. 😂

[@Stewkeithmtb]

I don't change my strings. Ever 😂

[@Cymanytb]

well earnie ball regulars (non-coated) and even the damn coated ones kinda suck in terms of durability (i just put em a few months back on my guitar to try them out). They darken up in like a few hours so of course he'll feel the need to change em mid show. They are sponsored so ofc they say they love em but if you guys really want sound longevity (of about 6 months) use elixir.

[@007samd]

I love what’s unspoken in this video. The way the tech looks at Justin when he’s talking and the mutual respect and listening between all three of you. Beautiful x

[@Cymanytb]

I love how he's straight faced most of the time, but when justin is playing and showcasing his pedals he starts smiling :)))

[@jonsnow5518]

saw that too. the delight when your boss is a genius and legend and an allround humble good dude

[@gordontall2441]

I think it's sexual attraction

[@AlexColcombe]

I am so glad he confirms the shift from 113 to 115 because I thought I was losing my mind.

[@shawnchildress555]

right its supple. told my son about when we were listing one day. he couldn't hear it. to me it was loud as a bell

[@phunkym8]

so cool. justin seems actually excited to do this. i always have the impressions musicians dont want to do these kind of videos and just send their guitar tech.

[@Pookiestud]

He actually seemed kind of nervous at first! Love Justin! ❤

[@EllissDee4you4me]

You’d be surprised at how many artists have the attitude of “I just play it, I don’t care how it works” my dad is like this, he’s one of the best guitarists I’ve ever heard and has played for 60 years and doesn’t even like changing his own strings and thinks I’m crazy for changing pots or pickups. I thought it was cool seeing how involved and enthusiastic Justin was on the technical side

[@seansta21]

I agree.. To me, it's his bass riffs and tone is Tools' signature sound

[@ocromiun]

Flawless. Justin is not just a bassist. He is a tone/sound scientist!

[@robertgarza466]

This video deserves a Grammy, a Webby, and a Nobel Peace Prize.

[@kevinnistor1954]

What about a gibby

[@JFranP95]

Finally, one of my bass heroes ❤❤, just waiting for the Adam Jones rig rundown

[@Timothy0430]

I’m sure we’ll be waiting for a while!!

​@@Timothy0430maybe, i hope not 15 years, thanks DunlopTv 😂😂

He just doesn’t really enjoy talking about gear apparently. It would be more fun to have his guitar tech do it.

[@johnmilitell5836]

ADAM DO IT PLEASE 😢

[@hqrueck]

No disrespect to the other hosts that sometimes do these rig rundowns but Chris is by far the best at it. He always asks informative questions and really knows his stuff

[@AndreaAustoni]

I like Chris and John Bolinger equally.

[@papadelta9485]

bolinger

[@MrExcane]

For all us bassists waiting so long….. YESSSSSS 🔥

everyone seems to focus on the others, but i think this guy is the secret to tools sound

​@@thed3008 i imagine it wouldnt be tool then would it

[@Qwik14]

I'm a guitarist and a huge Tool fan and I've been dying to watch this episode. I cannot wait for the Adam Jones rig rundown.

[@JohnWeirdoe]

It will never happen. Sadly.

[@arsenije_wav8620]

I have been waiting for this video ever since I saw the grainy Dunlop TV rundown at 15 years old. All of my bass playing since has been inspired by Justin's massive sound and chordal phrasing

[@coalescent-az]

that Dunlop one is the Zapruder film of JC's bass

[@lalalol36]

I built my bass tone around that video, but now watching this one I realized so much was left out!!!!

[@joemcallister275]

That's rad Chris did the little intro to show his appreciation for the opportunity. Bollinger & Chris are like the PG bread & butter.

[@jimbrown9477]

Chris Kies is such a good dude. It's awesome to see people showing their excitement and humility around their heroes. Chris please always stay this way, this is what keeps music passionate and magical.

[@thepneumanator]

The only thing better than Justin and this interview is the look on Chris' face the whole time. Like a kid at Christmas! Absolutely priceless. So happy you guys could make this happen. Honestly, if I ever even made eye contact with anyone from Tool I would become a mute pile of fanboy goo. Good job!

[@madnessbydesignVria]

I love how in all the Tool interviews I've seen, the guys are so cool and laid back. Shout out to Justin for doing this, and for having Pete there (and treating him as part of the team). Thank you for this... :)

[@fetch_happens]

Was in the front row in front of this guy last Monday night. Vibrated my sinus cavities. What a blast watching him play!

[@OmarSierraltaV11]

Holy crap... This must be one of the most waited Rig Rundowns ever... Let's hope we can get Adam and Danny/Joe for the drums

[@martindammable]

I've been hoping for a Premier Guitar rig rundown with Adam for years. Dunlop did a very superficial one years back.

[@WHCAudio]

​@martindammable an Adam one would be simple: "uh this is a gibson, idk what year or anything. And these are my diezel heads and mesa cabs. That's uh... that's pretty much it. *drop d riff*"

[@Thebriskman]

His clean tone gives me chills every time

[@T25de]

💯

[@TOOLbassplayer]

This is amazing! Thanks for sharing. As one of the first bassists on KZbin to try to show Justin’s music to the world covering Tool on bass it’s wonderful to see how much more open he is later in his career to show the secrets of his sound. From Aenema to 10k days it was always a mystery and he remained pretty mysterious about his unique sound. I spent the better part of almost 15 years trying to dial in his sound and there were a few things that were hard to replicate. I love that he is now so open to sharing….this is an amazing video that answers a few questions I still had remaining. Thank you so much for sharing!!!🙏🏻

[@jasoncarraway966]

Bro you are a KZbin legend for us Tool bass fanatics such as myself. Hope life is treating you well my friend. I was always very stoked to see new content from you cause like you said a lot of Justin’s sound was a total mystery until you started putting together videos. Not only that but you are in your own right an amazing bass player as well! Your covers were extremely well done my friend.

[@plukette]

Does your whammy still work? mine had a faulty charger and its been dead since. Good to see you're still rocking the bottom end Brad! Old timey greets from NL.

[@TOOLbassplayer]

@@plukette my friend!!! Wow! So good to hear from you! Yes, my original bass whammy is still working and tracking well. I hope you are well!

[@MarshallPust]

You know the true hero here?? Chris. I cant imagine seeing tool live, let alone being in his shoes for this shoot. You served us fans so very well, and did us proud ❤️

[@GLoRyKnoT]

One of the best interviews ever!Greatly appreciated

[@xymbolix]

I wouldn't even be able to speak. He inspired me to play and millions others and now, probably more. Thanks a bunch, Premier!!!

the GOAT for modern rock bass 🔥thank you PG

[@Hzfyld]

Can't believe this episode is real. Thank you love it.

[@Gshotwell]

Much like a Tool song, that 40 minutes felt like 5 minutes. I’ve spent years trying to get close to his tone and just studying him as a musician. Kick ass job, Chris. What an experience to be right there with the legend! I’ve wanted a video like this for YEARS! Huge thanks to everyone who said yes to making this a reality 🙌

[@126wfer]

Im here even in not a bassist... i really hope that make a ADAM JONES rig rundown too... please!

[@rainbowslushy223]

they asked him but he politely declined.

[@SirOttis]

Adam goes out of his way to keep his rig an enigma wrapped up in a mystery.

[@EllissDee4you4me]

@@SirOttisAdam was also the main reason Tool wasn’t on streaming services for so long. I’ve all but worshipped Tool for twenty years so it’s hard to say anything bad, but Adam has always come across as a quiet artist wizard who just wants to make your ears bleed and not anger any questions.

[@CedricFavrichon]

To me, Justin is simply the best and most inspirational modern bassist, and the reason why I play bass... Beyond his amazing talent, Justin always seems to be a simple and humble man enjoying what he does and easy to access, which is not that common at this level of the food pyramid. How many rock stars would have rather sent their roadie (only) for this kind of interview ? Justin not only is present but also puts his technician under the spotlights... Means a lot from a human standpoint ! More than 30 years since I've been listening to Tool and on a nearly daily basis. What a wonderful musical journey it's been so far. Can't wait for their next release ! Thank you so much Justin for this and everything !!!!! And thx a lot @chris_kies and Premier Guitar for this flawless "Rig rundown" ! The only issue for you now will be to make something better than this (forget about it, simply impossible) !!! Cheers Cédric (from France) 🤘😉

[@johnb5713]

The critical element for the tone is his suspenders. Without those, no gyro hips, no bassy bass

[@andrewpappas9311]

I’ve been waiting for a video on these guy for so long, I’ve been a huge Tool fan ever since I first heard them in Guitar Hero: World Tour so this is absolutely awesome. My friends and I who play in a band with (we also covered Sober at our most recent show last year, a song we’ve been holding onto since we first wanted to do it at our second gig) went to go see them back in November and it was one of the best shows I’ve ever been to (we even got to meet a gentleman who was sitting next to us that had been following Tool since 1993, which was really cool), especially since they brought out Alex Lifeson from Rush to join them for Jambi (which was our singer’s favourite Tool song) and they went into the solo section from Passage to Bangkok and we were just blown away because neither of us were even expecting to see Lifeson and it was fucking awesome. This has definitely made its place as one of my favourite RRs, fucking awesome as always guys

[@bradleyt9868]

My life is complete. Wonderful video. Justin is such a lovely bloke. And that Wal just sounds glorious

[@hadenbaillie1833]

[@xdaniedx]

Seriously props to Justin's tech! The way he looks, listens and reacts to everything Justin says or needs. Those dudes are the unsung heros of any show or tour. As a bass player myself I'm always watching videos of rig rundowns to try and learn as much as I can because of how much they know and the tricks they have. I've known Warren Lee who was Jeff Hanne man and now Gary Holt's guitar tech and I'm always peppering him with questions because he's a bass player himself and the experience and knowledge these guys have is amazing!

[@Bare_Knuckle97]

18:36 That blue P bass can be heard on the Slipknot song Adderall. Vman said he borrowed it when they were recording the song for their latest album “The End, So Far”

I use the LS-2 pedal and its a game changer. Pedal does so much and is relatively cheap for a boss pedal that does so many things
