"The Pot" from Tool's "10,000 Days" album (2006).
I know, absolutely disgusting bass solo. I lack the pedals/plug-ins for it. But hey, I'm very happy with the rest of the cover. How about that punch eh? This is one of my favourite Tool songs so I'm glad to have covered it anyway. Similar to the 46 & 2 cover, I changed some little changes when you put it up to the CoverSolutions tab. Though we will always miss a few details, I've added some new things to the tab. For example, that 3rd fret on the A string at 5:26, or actually playing the slide with a whammy (one octave up) at 2:45. I hope you will enjoy it, despite the bass solo tone.
Some important information that nobody is going to read.
Tuning : D-A-D-G
Artist : Tool
Bassist : Justin Chancellor
Album : 10,000 Days (2006)
Song : THE POT
Bass : Warwick GPS Corvette 5A Ash

Guys, I absolutely butchered the tone during the bass solo. Sorry about that. But I hope you will enjoy the rest of the video :)

[@bendykirby4828]

The tone for the rest of the song more than makes up for it.

Agreed. Thank you!

I though I actually knew this song, glad I gave it a watch. Noticed I've been missing a cheeky note in the chorus. Favourite part is the last riff to play, so much groove going on.

Oh I love that part as well. Such an aggressive outro..

[@captainchunk4078]

You sir, are a gift from the heavens!

[@residentkrockhead]

Amazing job! The 10,000 days tone seems especially tough to get, lots of punchy bright tone without muddying up anything. Definitely shows the power of Justin’s setup. Anyways, I like the rendition of the solo, the reverb really makes it it’s own thing, which isn’t a bad thing at all. Great job friend! Also looking forward to your album 🤘

[@LeoBassCovers2]

Thank you very much! I'm quite surprised that most people actually like the reverb for the bass solo while I actually needed envelope or something. anyway, very glad to hear!

[@hermannbrosinger3835]

Another great cover .. Justin really likes his dotted quarter notes. The psychedelia is real in the solo and the Distortion/Auto-Wah QWAH-QWAH-QUWAH part .. Love It! Also i can’t trust people who honestly count this in 4/4 ..

[@LeoBassCovers2]

Thank you :) I don't even know why people would even count this. This is one of those songs that you really have to feel.

Nice cover Leo!! There's a song from my country called "La Grasa de las Capitales" by Seru Giran. It would be awesome to see a cover from Pedro Aznar, the latinamerican Jaco Pastorius. You're the best man!

Thank you! I already did "Drive Home" for you though. I feel like this more something CoverSolutions would do as he's been putting out a lot of South American covers lately.

[@gamesarefun1338]

Hey Leo, I’m having struggle with the high interlude rhythms, is there any trick to learning the different rhythms in that part? Thanks

[@LeoBassCovers2]

It's a tricky one so you have to slow it down as much as possible. The rhythm goes completely against the beat so I guess all you can do is practice it slowly and learn how to feel the beat while playing off-beat riffs

[@gamesarefun1338]

@@LeoBassCovers2 Right on man, I learned it, with exactly that! Thanks!

[@zachpurcell8119]

Is the swell sound at 4:27 not Justin using the whammy up and down before going back into the riff? I always assumed that was him

[@LeoBassCovers2]

That's him...

[@seymy4362]

You get this asked a lot, but how do you achieve such a powerful tone?

[@LeoBassCovers2]

Honestly a lot of the tones comes from using the DarkGlass plug-in/effects. I used DarkGlass Ultra for this one and it just instantly sounds more powerful. They're amazing pedals/plug-ins

[@seymy4362]

@@LeoBassCovers2 Alright, so the power comes from the effects ? I'm still pretty uneducated on how pedals and amps works. I just play the bass ya know

[@LeoBassCovers2]

Well I use a digital plug-in for my covers so it's different. When you play with physical gear, one effect pedal isn't going to fix all problems. The amp settings need to be good too, as well as the knobs on the bass. For example for Tool, you'll need quite a lot of bass and treble, not a lot of mid. A blend of bridge and neck pick-up works well for Tool too.

[@PickaBass]

Don t worry for the solo tone the cover have a grit tone, i suggest you to try delay instead of reverb, i use distortion (low distortion with high level, lot of low cut and bost for the high), delay and chorus...work really well....;)

[@mattturner1453]

Trying to learn this but having a difficult time with the timing of the riff. Is this 3/4 or 4/4 with dotted quarter notes?

@@LeoBassCovers2 ahh shit I knew that after I typed it. Was too late. Lol

[@Vinter2805]

Hey man awesome cover! One quick question since you use guitar pro. Is it possible to add flanger/delay pedal effects and stack them together?

[@LeoBassCovers2]

It definitely is possible! The bass solo in Invincible consists of delay, flanger, chorus, distortion and a whammy so it's possible :)

[@shrondigerscat]

great cover and tone as always, what strings you use?

[@LeoBassCovers2]

Thanks! For this video, I used Dunlop DBSBN45125 Super Bright NW Medium 45-125

[@wenceslaofernandezcorti1997]

nice foot bro

[@Saeedd01]

Thanks! Also I have a question, I recently started playing bass and I use digital software like Guitar Rig 5. It has all the effects I would want to use such as delay etc. They work when I turn them on by clicking but sometimes (like in many Tool songs) I don't have time to stop during the song to click and change the effects. Do you know a way that lets me add the effects at specific times after recording?

[@LeoBassCovers2]

You would have to make seperate tracks for that as Guitar Rig is a realtime-effect. There's no turning it on or off.

[@Saeedd01]

@@LeoBassCovers2 Oh I see. That would work. I assume there's no other way? (Other than buying pedals)

[@LeoBassCovers2]

There might be a way to do this, but that would only be through modulation. Linking an insert to some sort of modulation connection so that it would only cut out when you don't use it. I have no if that's possible though. I know it's possible with certain equalizers, but I have no idea if that's doable with Guitar Rig. So...buying pedals or making seperate tracks yep..

[@Saeedd01]

@@LeoBassCovers2 Okay. Thank you very much! I'll make separate tracks for now and buy pedals at some point in the future.

[@bendykirby4828]

If I’m being honest, the tone for the solo would’ve been fine if you added an octave pedal to it.

[@LeoBassCovers2]

Well, I did. The bass whammy with a full octave up.

[@bendykirby4828]

LeoBassCovers I can’t even hear it during the solo. Guess you really weren’t kidding about the tone lol
