Tool - "Stinkfist" (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!

There's something hypnotic about this bass line... its pivotal to Stinkfist ...anyone explaining the function of bass guitar and how it leads a band working with drums ...just point them to this brilliant video. Beautifully played sir.

[@kellogc]

Thank you. It’s a solid song no doubt 👊🏻

you deserve more subscribers my man. i always love the tone and spot on accuracy of your covers

[@kellogc]

Thanks!

[@scottallen653]

Totally agree.

[@organicmechanic5150]

Justin has a unique style and tone that is not easy to replicate, but your covers are exceptional. Getting the effects set to the original composition is not easy, you have a gift for hearing tones and matching them with your own equipment.

[@kellogc]

Thank you. Justin is indeed in a league of his own 👊🏻

[@organicmechanic5150]

@@kellogc definitely, after Paul writing some impressive riffs on Undertow, Justin had big shoes to fill, but went above and beyond on Anima.

You've just earned another subscriber my man! That song has got some funk (no pun intended). lol I love Tool's music.

[@ashath]

Thank you for the wonderful cover! You have mastered some very delicate moments that are almost inaudible in the song mix. Although I have an opinion about both pre-chorus parts: it might differ a little it, at least based on guitar part, but anyway, who would notice? :) I have used your work to learn the song to play with my band, so again thank you for all the work you have done here!

[@gregg4164]

Justin is one of my most favorite modern bass players and I totally agree with your assessments of his sound and style.

True that tone is perfect for a Tool song. It could be cuz of the Wal bass ;)

[@rosariomedinalavin9421]

Es asombroso ver cómo tus dedos "bailan" sobre las cuerdas (pesan tanto, y al mismo tiempo tan ligeros), parece tan "simple" un tema tan increíblemente complejo cuando lo interpretas....No soy música, pero creo que el bajo es uno de los instrumentos más difíciles de dominar. Hacer un cover de Tool es toda una hazaña, y tú lo haces posible. Desde Granada (España), GRACIAS y BENDICIONES KELLO, por SENTIR a Tool, por compartir tu talento, por hacerme llorar igual que cuando los escucho a ellos, y por hacer un poco más eterno a TOOL (para mí, la mejor banda de todos los tiempos) ❤❤❤❤❤🎸

[@kellogc]

Muchas gracias Rosario. Ciertamente hay que sentir la música para poder hacerle justicia a esta gran banda. Te mando un gran abrazo 👊🏻😉

[@jrusovich]

Very well done, Kello! With Tool there is always a counting process that is critical to remembering their lines. Everything is rhythmically dynamic, percussive and usually off metered. It's really challenging to play because of this.

[@carlosfilhosantana]

Great cover man!

[@neeltheother2342]

From what I have read, Tool's former bassist Paul DAmour was credited on Stinkfist, Eulogy, and a few other songs on Ænima.

[@pwnedshift1]

there are demos of stinkfist, eulogy, pushit and aenema with Paul on bass out there

[@gregg4164]

A big part of his tone is the wall bass and it can be a challenge to get a good similar tone for us who do not use Wall basses but it is an awesome tone.

[@johnurbanski8486]

Incredible how some people are truly gifted with some incredible talents. I just started playing a bass not to long ago, it is nothing special. It seems really hard to find the tabs or anything else on bands from this era. You are very talented and any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Nice to see a fellow left legger! Love your covers Kello! Do you find it a challenge to do the pedal tones that seem to be in every Tool song without using a pick? I'll look at more of your videos but this is something that seems to me would be very hard to do without a pick. I prefer fingers myself for the freedom and feeling "in-touch" with my bass but yeah, the pedal note/tone thing remains a mystery to me with fingers...

[@mateorodriguez9768]

Hello friend, for you what is the best distortion that can be used to have a good chancellor sound ?

[@Dingir100]

excellent bass ... how can I equalize to achieve that sound ... or what effect do you have? help me please ... greetings !!!

[@lucasovelar9527]

70% is the wal bass, but with a darkglass b7k ultra and the right settings u van get pretty much the same, i recommend u the g&l l2000 if u want a similar bass, the wal bass its currently 8k to 10k usd

[@terreausore2435]

Big Mid and treble boost, some bass too. If not for Darglass pedals, you can try with a Sansamp.

[@nanideckard]

Hi Kello! What tunning are you using on this piece? Awesome job man. Justin is one of my favourite bass players out there and will start playing some Tool with this one since it looks achievable with some (a lot) work. Any tips to beggin with? Thanks!

[@kellogc]

Bass is tuned to Dropped D. Just let it rip! ;)

[@LoboAzul56]

Fuckin solid bro!

[@rileyklingensmith5967]

Justin is obviously incredible but people Forget Paul D"amour wrote some of their best basslines too. Honestly when i learned he was responsible for songs like Stinkfist, Eulogy, Pushit, Ænema, i was baffled. Not to mention my personal favorite and absolutely crushing bass part, H. Not to mention the great riffs he wrote on Opiate. Stuff like Cold & Ugly that just punches you in your face right off the bat. I think Paul is the better bassist if youre looking for straight up crushing bass parts and heaviness. Justin is your guy for that too but he also employs many other cool techniques like the harmonics on Disposition or... the entirety of Lateralus. Best bass lineup ever probably and its just two guys lmao.

[@kellogc]

Tool has been lucky to have two great bass players to complementa and take their music and sound to the next level.

[@timothethomann576]

Hey ! Very good job and great sound ! Is it possible to know what kind of rig/equipment you use?

[@kellogc]

Thanks. For amps I use an Aguilar rig. For pedals on this I used Sansamp BDDI. Most of the tone comes from the Wal bass.

[@erb082580]

👏👏👏👏👌👌👌👌

[@DannePlaysBass]

Superb playing and tone as always! Do you do any bass cut when recording and if so, at what freq?

[@kellogc]

Most of the tone come from the Wal itself (it has a natural growl). The Sansamp BDDI helps with added grit and high end clarity (most settings to 12 o'clock)

[@ddrumdude]

Sounds amazing! What are you running the Wal through?

[@pedkfuri]

Wal has the best tone ever

[@snaileatsface]

Quite awesomely done, subbed! Do you have tabs by any chance? The ones I found online seem largely flawed, if not entirely incorrect.

[@MyNameIsJoe000]

Wicked tone. Thanks for teachings me this. I think Paul wrote this track. He wrote bass for half of aenima. Justin is great but I prefer the stuff with Paul.

[@SterlingSimmons22]

What is your rig man?! The tone is amazing!

[@2scoops_Arturo]

fuck yess

[@jayg7962]

Fuckin epic👏👏🤘🤘🤘

[@adribat]

Hey great video! Whats your pedal setup?

[@kellogc]

It's mainly my Wal and a Sansamp BDDI throughout the song

[@pwnedshift1]

how do you hammer-on and pull-off with the pinky during the breakdown and still get such an aggressive sound? i can barely get any sound at all lol

[@JohnThunderable]

Okay dudskie, you are now officially responsible for hooking me up with bass. Just bought my first today. In my past, long time ago, I played lots on guitar (death / black metal) and just today I realised that many, many years ago i simply picked up the wrong instrument. The plus side is that experience from fast metal music made my fingers work like hammers, to hammer on / pull off / legato / taping and alternate picking come in handy now. Have some problem with playing using only fingers though, hope it will pass, but it you have any advice how to excercise it (thumb, index finger and middle finger seem promising, but the other two ones are kinda feeling 'underdeveloped' - it's a fucking waste i think, but then i see lots of players just using the three fingers doing fine, do you think it's wise to skip those two and just use them different way (holding onto the bridge, or maybe somehow using them to mute strings not needed at any particular moment? I see howewer lots of bass players muting string with their left hand, quite unusual for 'standard; electric guitar. Not sure what to with it now, just go with whatever's comfortable, or put a bit more effort in training the pinky? Cheers mate, well done in all videos, you fucking rock. And thans for the inspiration!

[@kellogc]

Well, all I can say is that since you already have experience playing just do whatever feels comfortable to get familiar with the new instrument. Little by little you can assess your strengths and weaknesses and work them. Either if it is sticking to use a pick, or start getting the fingers rolling, just remember it'll require patience to break old habits. Start slow and use a metronome. Thanks!
