Bit of trivia to add: Justin mentioned the green wal in a bass player magazine interview around 2009. The less pronounced mids lead to him using the original one on all of the 10 000 Days recordings, aside from Wings for Marie part 1+2. The green wal worked well played fingerstyle, he mentioned this track was the first he had recorded without pick. The same article he gave a full layout of his pedal/amp setup inc wiring sequences, which you may find useful for the second part of this vid. Couldnt find a link right now, but it must be posted somewhere. Still have the original mag somewhere in my house so hit me up if you want me to scan it for you.
Hey Darren, that is really interesting. I would love to see the original article if you have it handy. Just to complete my research notes! I'd love for you to email me a copy or tweet me info@whichbass.co.uk or @AlfieWilliamsUK
actually he said Greg was a bassist but he plays both bass and a guitar; Ken and Greg switch bass and guitar time to time and its interesting to see that live
+Which Bass You're welcome! Awesome!! Since we're on the topic of incredible psychedelic bassists, I'd love to see some videos about Roger Waters' bass rig and pedalboard through the years (1967-present)!! That would be fantastic! Both Mr. Chancellor and Mr. Waters are great bassists! Keep up the amazing work, sir! I'm always excited to receive a notification that you've uploaded a new video!!!
Goddam, Roger will be a piece of work! I do want to have a look at him but god knows how difficult that would be. That's great to hear you're excited for the next one thank you Angus :D
Paul used an early model of the Ibanez ATK bass as well towards his end in Tool. There are photos and I think a video on RUclips from a live show. Also, the bass has made it on eBay before. It's very unique. Mirror pickgard and I believe a Rickenbacker like pick up in the stingray position. It was a very shiney bass.
No other bass can touch the sound of a Wal bass , Mick Karn did more for bringing the attention of wal to bass players than any other bassist, R.I.P Mick.
I did Tool VIP events a few times...even got to go on stage for two of them and saw his bass/bass playing up close. He really has an eye for the best stuff. This video is a great resource (as I’m a bass/guitar player too). Thanks!
The greenburst Wal is an Mk3 model, not an Mk2. He also switched out the Wal electronics on it for the BigBlade electronics. His backup bass actually features a shedua top, and also has a fretless which is the one with the walnut top.
I'm not sure about the Greenburst as in this interview he says its just a Mk2. It's in German but the translation says "There are now five (Wals). One of them is a fretless bass that I can not actually play (laughs) but if a good bassist ever comes to visit, I can offer him that. Then, in addition to my standard bass - of which I have an exact copy to replace - I have a walnut and a MK-II in green." So either he means Green or the Greenburst who knows! www.gitarrebass.de/stories/interview-mit-tool-bassist-justin-chancellor/
Which Bass he has a specially built Mk3 with an Mk2 headstock, which makes it appear as though it is an Mk2. He clearly misspoke. There are photos of him with the green burst and the body shape is akin to that of an Mk3.
@@TheAldini10 The electronics were never touched in his Green Wal. He has now used that bass for The Pot live since 2019. They tuned it down even more from the half step drop. 😉
That picture of Justin playing that blue Pbass, that is one of his 1960s Fenders. There's an interview on youtube at a bass convention where he pulls it out.

A bunch of the stuff seen hanging on the wall behind Justin is likely from Danny Carey’s extensive collection. He had a pretty comprehensive list on his website of his guitars, basses, synths and kits.

Hey Brian, nice to hear from you, Happy New Year to you too. It's been a busy few weeks. Christmas was away from home and I literally came back from a week long holiday a few days ago. Good news however, I've recorded the next video which will be Lemmy. It's looking good! I need to edit a few pictures and it should be out soon. Couldn't tell you when exactly but before February I'm sure. I'm expecting to try Geddy one of these days don't worry ;)
Ah yes, Lemmy tis only good and proper. By the way if haven't checked out Sire basses... Do, and believe the hype! Fender Jazz bass on steroids. I treated myself to one this month, €400 plus hardcase.. afraid my Steinberger Xl2 will have to take a rest for a while.
It'll be a great video I can't wait to get it out :D I had a look at some demo videos for the Sire basses. Goddamn they look and sound amazing. I'm liking the Jazz but also the PJ fretless sounds beautiful. Brilliant choice Brian, I hope you enjoy it . That Steinberger isn't going anywhere ;)
They are string mutes Nick. Not sure of the year but these can be found on the "Classic Stingray" here's a pic. s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/static.music-man.com/website/images/instruments/highlights-1/highlight-50.jpg?1453224478
Hello, very very nice work !!! do you think you can find some extract of the sound of those instrument you talk about ? it will be so instructive to match both, sound of the bass you talk about. Of course, if you mix amplifiers, pedals, mic...hahaha !! :) ! thank you for your job.
I remember on 2013 one friend of mine owned 3 Alembic basses and 1 Wal mk-2 bass but he didn't liked Alembic basses so much so he decided to start trying out more brands and models until he found "The One" bass as he calls it he bought a Dean Razorback V bass and when he left playing bass he was selling his basses and i bought his Alembic Elan and Wal mk-2 they sound pretty cool!!! (Now i see why Justin owns this Wal bass) Nice vid!!! Can you please do Muzz Skillings or John Entwistle next?
Ofc I'll respond John. That's what I'm here for. I haven't looked at Paul Damour so I can't answer for sure. Have a look at this site it may have the answers equipboard.com/pros/paul-d-amour
i have a best friend irl named Alison who's the bassist in a tool cover band named Lateralus and she uses the Wal mark2 and the same amps and effects as the man himself.
really enjoyed this video, I`m buying my first bass today. Just a Yamaha, not many options in my country. 4 strings. Hope I made the right chice, it`s what i can afford.

Im here Zuul, don't worry dude. I've been extremely busy but the Les Claypool video is recorded I'm editing it now. I can't wait! It'll be a good one :D

It's amazing to me that here in the 21st century people still think the wood of an electric guitar (or bass in this case) influences its tone in any way.
I agree. I never liked his T Bird tone. It's so dull and boring. He needs a bass with some personality. But then again, he doesn't even play his own parts in the studio so I'm assuming he only barely gives a shit about the bass.
Tool are a peculiar beast and it's interesting to see how other people make music. I too found his gear and sound a wonder. Franky Boy is on the list John. Watch this space!
@John M Wow, I've never seen anyone say that they don't really like Tool. I like them, but to me, it's always refreshing to see people say they don't like Tool.
Hey man I know it wouldn't get the most views but there's a lot of people in the bass community who have tried to figure out Dylan Desmonds tone. He's an incredible bass player and does both bassline/melody by tapping. There's a lot of people would appreciate that video! And it would even open you channel up to new/different viewers considering its a genre you haven't touched on. Theres whole forums of people trying to figure it out lol.
Watching your channel has been interesting but I am confused as to why " Which Bass" does not cover any bass player outside of the metal genre? AS there are soooooo many: ...Pastorious / Clarke / Berlin / Palladino / King / Hellborg / Jackson / Laboriel / Felder / Kaye / Mcartney etc etc ?
Well Gen X, to be honest atm I only do artists I'm familiar with. I don't know if I would do someone like Clarke et all justice. I'm not ruling it out. I just need to do more research than usual.
Love this show! Keep it up! Maybe for more content you could use viewers rigs that seem interesting? I'd also be interested in in seeing Gene Simmons rig over the years. I know he started with Gibson's played some BC Rich and now manufactures his own.
Thank you Jpji, glad you're enjoying yourself. I have some ideas to talk to you guys about your bass rigs so watch this space. You may be seeing bass rigs of your peers soon. Gene Simmons is on the list, I'll see what I can do ;)
It's a bit of a divided issue but some believe all elements of a guitar have some impact on what's being "heard" by the pickup (neck type, strings, bridge, play style). In this case the density of the wood could absorb some vibrations that the pickup may miss. Overall it's believed wood type has less important in tone than pickup choice.
Bodhi Evan .... uh... yeah sooooo why would anyone care what day you are watching this.. we all know the TOOL album was officially released today but still don’t see what that has to do with anything... just sayin Am I missing something? Haha
Nice overview ... bring on the rundown. At first I thought it said "STEAMER" ... ... ... difficult to market ... ... ... PS - only BASS guitar players would think that's a dizzying array of pedals ... ... ... ;)
Steamer and even Streamer are horrible names for a bass XD Aahh I say it's dizzying because bass players shouldn't have to rely on effects pedals as much as guitarists.

Hell yea. U can’t ignore Danny Carey’s insane drumming tho as well; coming from another fellow guitarist lol.
I met Justin's sister n family at brixton academy .. very nice people.. I saw Justin play disposition, reflection, lateralus .. triad ..
I like this presenter - he's like an old-school journalist.
Thanks dude, I appreciate that.
Resonate heavy
You mean like how he is very well researched and tells the truth? You are correct. If only journalists would go back to that.
Wow, one of the most intriguing bass tones out there. Can't wait for the pedal episode!
I really want you to talk about Krist Novoselic's bass rig nice video!
I will Ronnie, I will! One player at a time ;)

P bass through ampeg svt. Pretty simple..lol
Why? Lol he held it down but I could get his tone with 500 bucks

Patience is a virtue Dylan. I'm filming it this week so it shouldn't be much longer.
Cool video ! And we pronounce magazine the same way as you guys do, in french.. Magasin the way you tried to pronounce it actually means "shop"
C'est la vie ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ thanks for explaining.
@@WhichBass aha yeah good video still
Mani of stones roses and primal scream setup for season 3 pls
Thanks Charlie, that's a great suggestion. I'll see what I can do.
You should really do Shavo from System of a Down they have a tour coming up in October
Shav would be really cool, I'll put him on the list.
Ufft, definitely
He ditched the T-bird last year and went for a Warwick Streamer
TheShadowWalker Ik dude. who all is going to see them in Cali In October
I agree. I never liked his T Bird tone. It's so dull and boring. He needs a bass with some personality. But then again, he doesn't even play his own parts in the studio so I'm assuming he only barely gives a shit about the bass.
justin is a chelsea fan? holy moly!
It was this year!
And it was GOOOOOOD...
Why am I just know finding this video!!?!?!??
I know people have said Peter Hook already. I'd like to recommend Benjamin Orr of the Cars, Krist Novoselic, Tom Peterson from Cheap Trick
Great suggestions Devin, all on the list.
Geddy Lee used to play Wal basses, they sounded awesome, as did his Ricks. No idea why he gave them up for the Fender Jazz.
Hopefully I'll found out when I do the Geddy video ;)
Do a Billy Gould (Faith No More) video
Great suggestion dude.
I was never a big fan of tool but that was interesting please make a video about Frank bello (anthrax)
Tool are a peculiar beast and it's interesting to see how other people make music. I too found his gear and sound a wonder. Franky Boy is on the list John. Watch this space!
Agree on Frank Bello!!
@John M
Wow, I've never seen anyone say that they don't really like Tool. I like them, but to me, it's always refreshing to see people say they don't like Tool.
Hey man I know it wouldn't get the most views but there's a lot of people in the bass community who have tried to figure out Dylan Desmonds tone. He's an incredible bass player and does both bassline/melody by tapping. There's a lot of people would appreciate that video! And it would even open you channel up to new/different viewers considering its a genre you haven't touched on. Theres whole forums of people trying to figure it out lol.
Thanks for the suggestion Corey, I do like a challenge! And you're right I should branch out a bit. Let me see what I can do!
Watching your channel has been interesting but I am confused as to why " Which Bass" does not cover any bass player outside of the metal genre? AS there are soooooo many: ...Pastorious / Clarke / Berlin / Palladino / King / Hellborg / Jackson / Laboriel / Felder / Kaye / Mcartney etc etc ?
Well Gen X, to be honest atm I only do artists I'm familiar with. I don't know if I would do someone like Clarke et all justice. I'm not ruling it out. I just need to do more research than usual.
Love this show! Keep it up! Maybe for more content you could use viewers rigs that seem interesting? I'd also be interested in in seeing Gene Simmons rig over the years. I know he started with Gibson's played some BC Rich and now manufactures his own.
Thank you Jpji, glad you're enjoying yourself. I have some ideas to talk to you guys about your bass rigs so watch this space. You may be seeing bass rigs of your peers soon.
Gene Simmons is on the list, I'll see what I can do ;)
I’m waiting for part 2..
Yeah me too. How about next week?
You wanted it here it is! Part 2! ruclips.net/video/LfC_tG73wT8/видео.html
Which Bass, loved the video, keep it up.
Thanks
Can you explain how the type of wood used in the construction of a guitar can effect the performance of a magnetic pickup?
It's a bit of a divided issue but some believe all elements of a guitar have some impact on what's being "heard" by the pickup (neck type, strings, bridge, play style). In this case the density of the wood could absorb some vibrations that the pickup may miss. Overall it's believed wood type has less important in tone than pickup choice.
@@WhichBass - "No" would have been sufficient.
I believe you've been given an adequate explanation and it wasn't "no".
@@WhichBass - My question was not addressed in any respect.
The best I can do is point you to a resource that could help lmgtfy.com/?q=how+wood+affects+a+bass
I see Justin I click.
5:38 little did he know...
Have you ever been cast as a cockney chimneysweep boy in a Dickens adaptation? That sweet accent mate 😜
Not yet me ol' china. One day I hope. Watch your pockets.
Thanks for the compliment btw ;)
Great video. A Les Claypool episode would be great too
Hail Chief! Thank you I appreciate that. Lucky for you Les Claypool is coming up after Justin part 2.
Which Bass woohoo!
Mr david ellefson? Would love to see this.
Dave will be making an appearance soon, most definitely.
Watching this on 30 August 2019.
Bodhi Evan .... uh... yeah sooooo why would anyone care what day you are watching this.. we all know the TOOL album was officially released today but still don’t see what that has to do with anything... just sayin Am I missing something? Haha
I thought the video said "you know you're a bass player?"
FYI that line up of basses and guitars are actually Danny Carey's personal collection including the Ric's. Not Justin's basses.
Nice overview ... bring on the rundown.
At first I thought it said "STEAMER" ... ... ... difficult to market ... ... ...
PS - only BASS guitar players would think that's a dizzying array of pedals ... ... ... ;)
Steamer and even Streamer are horrible names for a bass XD
Aahh I say it's dizzying because bass players shouldn't have to rely on effects pedals as much as guitarists.
Mike Inez?
Great suggestion thanks Adam.
@@WhichBass Awesome content my man.
Damn I want the tone so bad but a wal is like the price of a new car
Just what exactly is "tumbruh"
lmgtfy.com/?q=timbre
Lol, yes I know what timbre is, it's pronounced "tam-ber". I was just being an asshole
