Tool - "Jambi" (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!

[@kevinlynch2248]

Also, the most powerful drop in rock music. Period.

[@victor_.]

That and divorced by melvins (which is a collab with tool)

[@thechairtosser4320]

You are the greatest bass player on KZbin.

[@kellogc]

Thanks. I'm glad you like it!

[@OficialReinaldoCartagena]

your finger technique 10/10

[@mbm3155]

Rax Pax dude that's just his twin brother with the same name

[@edgardomillaqueo5976]

that's what she said.

[@Supersonic0501]

I was thinking maybe 9/8?

[@joshwd3152]

OH THE TONE! It doesn't matter if he uses a pick, he's got 3 picks on his finger tips. I mean they sound just as punchy

[@kamasotomonte5043]

JAMBIIIIIII dude ive seen all your tool songs , holy shiiiiit man you are a god of low end

[@kevinlynch2248]

THE best bass covers on the internet!!!! That Wal is a BEAST, Kello!!!

[@kellogc]

Thank you. And yes, Wal does make a hell of an instrument 🤘🏻

[@darkySp]

Honestly, i don't think i've seen a KZbinr that plays bass with such a solid and refined finger style technique. Like, it's so refined to the point where you can just feel how good it is by watching you play!

[@christopherkowalski9971]

7Sloth is just as good IMO. He also adds his own flavour to the songs he covers...

[@GillRigged]

This is not only my favorite Tool song but probably my favorite song in general with this video my favorite Kello cover. I bet I have watched this over a hundred times.

[@Radagast27]

My favorite Tool song, done justice! I'm also quite impressed that you can approximate Justin's tone and attack using finger style.

[@xanderbrindle]

C.M. Willett You just got to pluck hard, and finger close to the frets, to get that burpy tone.

[@1212MikeO]

Its that handy dandy bridge pick up boi

[@conradsz]

It also takes a Wal bass and tons of skill

[@EmptyDomoKanti99]

Wals have a function in their EQ called “Pick Attack” that simulates the sound of using a pick even when you’re playing fingerstyle. It adds some subtle high end sizzle ( there’s like no footage of this anywhere, so it’ll be interesting to get an accurate description of what it does to the frequencies ). He could be using that, or i could just look like an ass

[@chagas8822]

The tone is perfect and I like the fact that you play plucking! Usually tool covers are picking but you get the sound with your fingers. Really cool!! 10/10

[@aarondavis3158]

dude u rock ive actually learned more about my bass playing from watching your vuds, thanks and keep em comin, the world needs more bass!

[@kellogc]

Thanks a lot, I'm glad these videos have helped you. I can live with more bass ;)

[@computerscientist5953]

wow man, I didn't expect a tone like this. Pretty heavy, even with no pick

[@GreetTheSacredCow]

That is seriously my dream bass. Everyone loves Wal, but that black is just beautiful.

[@ochocinco1535]

Brilliant work brother. I have been appreciating your Tool covers for years and will for years to come. One day I will get a bass and learn.

[@kellogc]

These Testes thanks! You should get a bass!

[@allensmith.aaffect.1626]

This song brought tears to my eyes when I first heard it . Via headphones laying on my couch the day the album dropped. . Bought it and the matching T.

[@letslearnguitar1625]

That tone is magnificent.

[@Freakarmy]

Loving this. and it's not like it sounds better or worse than the Original, he gives the song a new touch which is amazing considering the complex material imho!

[@tylerfortin4937]

The timing in tool songs are just insane

[@elliotw5918]

Dude these videos are amazing. Just found your channel, subbed

[@AtliJarlMartin]

Great tone! Great cover! Fascinating! Cheers to you Sir!

[@kellogc]

Thanks!

[@etrandex6407]

That half time breakdown hits you like crack.

[@kellogc]

👊🏻👽

[@BassickS77]

I play drums but my favorite thing for sure about this songis the bass 10/10 man 👌🏼🤘🏽

[@rbanyaga]

Wow! I just found your channel and I am blown away! You totally nail the tones and feel! Such an inspiration! Thanks for all your videos!

[@unofficiallysteele2633]

Great Job, KILLER tone, nice to see someone tackling Chancellor with fingers for a change

[@kellogc]

Thanks!

[@k.c.lejeune6613]

Kello!! How do you do it man??!! Spot on perfect my friend! Cheers from a huge fan in southern Louisiana, Kevin.

[@austindixon6253]

This is killer. Great style and great tones! \m/

[@Stoitism]

Ahh beautiful sound. Superb!

[@rhadamanthwick]

Beautiful

[@hectormr22]

wow! This is great, congratulations man, which pedal did you use?

[@anthonyoliva4378]

That is AWSOME..!!!

[@lucasinfabula7161]

Ottimo! Grande tecnica e suono fantastico. Veri complimenti!

[@MIXTAB1]

Hey if you ever get around to it, I'd love to see your cover of wings for Marie 1&2 on bass! Keep up the good work!

[@lvstogofst2002]

I second this!! Kello, you have slowed down your posting of vids, and that makes me very sad. Maybe something off the new album to bring your presence back into the fold

[@FlyByR10T]

The best! Of ALL of them - you are the best!

[@cesarj5522]

Que buen cover Kello!! Qué pedales ocupaste para este cover? Saludos

[@TheElectricBuddha]

Best I've seen. Awesome job.

[@JReed7560]

Love this cover man. Thank you for sharing.

[@JessieMusicRocks]

Thank you so much!

[@delko-c6m]

Holy shit that tone is gorgeous ! Do you use any modulation pedal at 5:30 ? Sounds like there is a little chorus. Very interested in what it is, sounded very beautiful !

[@lybofunk]

What pedals and equalizer settings do you use for the main riffs? The sound reaches the original sound (solid and bright) by playing finger style. well done!

[@kellogc]

I use a Sansamp BDDI for the clean parts and VT Bass DI for the dirty parts.

[@kellogc]

The Wal bass itself has that raw sound, which makes it pretty straight forward to emulate Justin's tone

[@raymondsalazar7090]

love the finger picking you don't see it much these days in rock

[@ardnoanicep1800]

Kello this is wonderful same like the rest of your work on covers. Do you have any band? I would like to listen some of your pieces :-)

[@WichoBassRock714]

Listen to Parazit :)

[@jacobreynoso99]

Hola, amigo Kello. No sé si llegue a leer mi comentario, pero yo sí espero llegar a verlo hacer un cover de la canción Right In Two, mi favorita. Saludos cordiales. Le admiro mucho.

[@keithherbert6533]

love it thank you

[@kellogc]

Thank you 👊🏻

[@livestrong296]

Damm, was this pulled down for a few days from your channel?

[@jimmyhollow]

Gran trabajo Kello y un sonido brutal. Cómo consigues darle esa fuerza y crujiente al bajo? Adoro ese sonido pero no consigo lograrlo. Saludos desde España ;)

[@kellogc]

Parte del sonido viene del Wal, esos bajos tienen un sonido crudo y crujiente por naturaleza. Aparte use un Tech21 VTBassDI para darle un poco mas de actitud. Al final tambien esta en el ataque, para que suene con poder.

[@jimmyhollow]

Kello Gonzalez Respuesta completa, así da gusto. Tomo nota. Muchas gracias por la información y espero ver más vídeos tuyos, es un placer verte tocar el bajo ;) Salud!

[@pacoorozco3753]

Suena genial 👍🏽....

[@Pryingopenmy3rdi]

very nicely done, my friend

[@ScriabinEnjoyer]

Awesome cover! Do you happen to remember the settings on your BDDI?

[@kellogc]

Yes, I'll send it in a moment. Most of the clean tone comes from the bass though.

[@XBLZeruiah]

Bravo, on point

[@ergot1938]

Excellent man!

[@edgardomillaqueo5976]

the tone is insane... how do you get it?

[@kellogc]

Wal bass is a big part of it. Also gotta hit the strings hard

[@lucasholst5568]

im probably being a bit lazy here by asking but, whats the brand of those pick ups? im planning on building a bass and my my, those pickups are very nice :D

[@kellogc]

I''m using a Wal MK1 bass. Pickups and electronics are design and custom built by them form their basses. If you get lucky you may be able to find these used online, although I'd expect the price to be high.

[@thpriest15]

Nice one! How heavy is that Wal?

[@kellogc]

I'll check on the scale... it's definatel not light I can tell you that! Solid as hell!

[@eliasplaysmusic]

Killer bass tones what kind of bass is this?

[@k.c.lejeune6613]

Elias Bigbootbob I'll answer that for you, it's a Wal MK1 bass made in England. Rather expensive, in the £5000 - £7000 range give or take.

[@franoddi4169]

Excelente hermano! aguante Tool!

[@shinobi_1_kenobi796]

One word...chingón.

[@Pookiestud]

That's my DREAM BASS. How'd you get your hands on one?

[@xtYLT2IY8]

probably ordered it from the carlthompson website

[@curtiscruncher]

damn , that's perfect 🤘🤘

[@TheWholeGrainBread_Real]

Can you do either Trust by Megadeth or In Your words by Lamb of God?

[@JessieMusicRocks]

What all do you use to record/upload your video?

[@kellogc]

I use a GoPro for video capture. Audio is recorded from DI and Mic'd signals. Mixed and edited in Sony Vegas.

[@valgirard4718]

WOW!

[@gustovo8883]

You are awesome

[@2015coolguy]

Nice cover man!!! can you send me isolated bass track recorded by you pl?

[@branniganfarnsworth3342]

Me too

[@kellogc]

To play along with it or dissect the bassline better? I'm thinking on uploading all my vids as bass only versions as well, would that work?

[@2015coolguy]

Yes, I want to play along with it. Bass only tracks would be awesome as I have never heard and would love to hear it.. Cheers!!

[@haylier7549]

Oh my gosh I've watch mostly all of your videos ! And I would do anything to just hangout and talk to you for a day and watch you play guitar ! This is my favorite song and you complete rocked it ! ❤️ you are officially down as one of my favorite guitar players ! 😘

[@rinaberman7686]

*Bass

[@haylier7549]

Rina Berman wtf ? 😂

[@rinaberman7686]

What's hard to get? It's a bass, not a guitar.

[@kellogc]

Thanks ;)

[@gianlucaitaliano4457]

sei un mostrooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@johnnys2096]

What pedals were you using at about 1:30? Or what effect?

[@Toolmybass]

Flanger and delay

[@hogansmock7107]

I wish I had right hand technique like that holy shit

[@rtbemt]

What effect are you using at 5:10

[@trentkraemer7109]

bob barc in the song it’s supposed to be fuzz but here it sounds like a lot of distortion

[@1DoTLone]

This shows you don't need a pick to get his tone!

[@johnmotherfuckincoltrane1242]

What delay are you using?

[@kellogc]

A TC Flashback

[@rikotheman2629]

Nvm I found it. Good job bro

[@aarondavis1441]

Considering the way you hold your bass I'm guessing you had some sort of actual music training?

[@luisalbertoterrazinazeoli1417]

What effects are you using at 1:06?

[@Ubarberet]

Sansamp BDDI, TC Corona Chorus and TC Flashback Delay

[@kellogc]

+MrHallitralli very accurate my friend, ;)

[@Ubarberet]

Kello Gonzalez You answered this question before. I just copied ;) Great video btw.

[@simonnilsson2668]

What effects are you using at the riff starting at 0:47?

[@kellogc]

I'm using Sansamp BDDI and VT Bass DI

[@One3673241]

+Kello Gonzalez Is there a name for that type of riff that starts at 1:06? I've been personally calling it a sunset riff, since it sounds perfect for such a setting, but what's the official/most well-known name?

[@branniganfarnsworth3342]

+One3673241 super sex riff

[@juanpablocastrogallego9543]

Que efecto utilizas en el minuto 0:07

[@NINFRK]

Pick?

[@erb082580]

🤘🤘🤘👌👌👌👏👏👏👏

[@m.94]

Reflection pls

[@EMPextinction]

How much did that wal cost you?

[@lvstogofst2002]

Both testes

[@SrivatsPelapur]

Wal mk1? Cool

[@kellogc]

That is correct ;)

[@AlexAckerman1998]

Only a Wal can get that tone

[@owenmasters4365]

Demo ur pedals

[@arestabellini7076]

playing tool with fingers make no sense to me, gj anyway

[@Trigga95original]

+Ares Tabellini He achieved good sound and groove, what's the issue?

[@arestabellini7076]

No issue, it just does not sound like right to me

[@Trigga95original]

Ares Tabellini Ok ;) well we can both agree he is good!

[@UberChuckBAss]

thumbs up for dat finga playin

[@Nikos6851]

what pedal do you use in 1:05 ?

[@kellogc]

I use a Sansamp BDDI, TC Corona Chorus and TC Flashback Delay

[@Nikos6851]

Kello Gonzalez thank you
