allright. Two tones that confound me here.
Tool Paul D'Amour and Justin Chancellor have diff sounds, both of which I can't figure out.
Blink 182 also has a weird kinda "twangy" sound, like on Rock show, how do they get that? |

He plays with a pick close to the neck, moving his whole arm in a jackhammer-like motion. On your amp, you may want to cut the mids, and boost the lows/highs.
If you want more specific information, do a search. From what my memory serves me, these folks have been discussed endlessly.

I don't know how Hoppus gets his tone, and i don't care. but Justin's tone is manly from his Wal(s).
very midy range

Justin gets his tone from his Wal and two Mesa boogie cabs and heads I think, that's was BP said anyway.

shame on you....i really liked lateralus. the grudge has to be my all time favorite tool song. i love tool, they are my all time favorite band. i agree with that other person to read about them. i bet you, if you actually sat down read the lyrics and reasearch more about the meanings and symobolism involved, the music will become much more intimate and touching to you.
i strongly dislike blink 182...
paul played some early stingrays and a bunch of ric's.....listen to songs like "hush"... awsome slap bass technique
justin deffinitly gets that odd tone from his is mid ranged wal basses and im pretty sure his cabs are all messa boogie 4x 10"s. he also has that odd guitar-style bass playing technique that makes is work a little more complicated and faster. thats not to mention all the effects that are used!
