OT: Tool Concert

[maddog]

Rawked \M/ \M/

Just got in from the Tool Concert tonight in Tucson. Maynard and company put on a good show. First time I had seen them live. Nice light show, cool animation. Only quibble was sound but rawk isn't about restraint.

Envious I am.

Was kind of bass was Justin playing???........Musicman i hope!

 

[KennethB]

Probably a Wal.

 

[Sonnyonbass]

A What?

 

[1Echo]

Yeah, Justin plays a Wal usually.

I would love to see them when they come through Dallas but I think my wife would be upset if I bought tickets for any more concerts this summer. Oh well.

Yup...he's been playing Wal basses since Aenima. I think he recorded 46 & 2 with a Stingray...but that's the last reocrded appearance that I know of...

Arrrrrrgh!

me and my TA toque (knit cap) are jealous

they were great here in Vancouver last summer. and yep, Justin is pretty loyal to his Wal's BUT after restringing my buddy's 79 Sabre with a set of Hybrid Slinkys I immediately got a Chancellor-esque tone so EB is a big part of his sound. And I do believe he and Adam are Slinky endorsees.

Justin is a dang good bass player..... why waste his talents on a Wal?

That dude needs a Ray/Sterling/Bongo

As a current bongo owner, I haved owned 3 Wals. They do have some unique features but, as time went on, I got tired of the weight of the 5 string Wals when I played live. I had around $4000 tied up in two 5's and a 4 back in the eighties.
So with that being said, Justin does get a Kickass tone!

 

[Oldtoe]

There is also no such thing as customer service with a Wal anymore.

Tool is amazing live. I saw them last Thursday in San Diego. I had bleachers seats right up front so we could feel the drums. Pretty amazing!
