Justin Chancellor's new Rig Rundown doesn't just have him explaining his whole rig with Tool alongside tech Pete Lewis, but also demoing his tones. In between we discover the preferences behind one of the greatest live tones on the planet.
Behind it all is a great musician, but one who is still exploring the possibilities of four-string bass with a progressive mindset. His main Wal bass (that he used on the band's most recent album Fear Inoculum) has an onboard filter system that helps sonically. "The preamp in it is just really amazing and powerful," Chancellor tells Premier Guitar in the video below. "When I got this bass for the first time I popped all the buttons out – it's got a little pick attack gain [control] when you pop the put out. I have everything on ten apart from the blend of the pickups which is right in the middle."
