Tool/Justin Chancellors tone.

Now in his case his rig does play a larger role in tone than my previous statement. I have seen them live in 2007 but i still have no official idea of whats in his rig is but I can imagine there are multiple rack mounted processor units that are for compression, flange, chorus, distortion, delay and a whammy pedal and a partridge and a pear tree. There are some bass player back catalog magzines of him about his rig try and look there too. It has some solid info about bass in general.

Off the top of my head...

GK 2001 RB going into a Mesa 810 for cleans
GK 2001 RB going into a Mesa 412 for dirt
Demeter Pre going to FOH

Large pedalboard:

Into clean rig...
Boss TU-2
Guyatone VTX Tube Tremolo
Digitech Bass Whammy
Sans Amp GT2
Boss Chorus Ensemble
Boos BF-2 Flanger
Boss DD-3 Delay
Guyatone BR-2
Colorsound Tone Bender
Foxx Fuzz Wah

Into dirty rig...
Turbo Rat
Boss EQ
Prunes & Custard

I know I'm missing something, and I know there is an updating picture of his board with some new stuff on it...

I've done very well getting a JC like tone with my Modulus Q5. It's loaded with Barts
I have found Bartolini Pickups and Bart 3 way eq to be an excellent reproducer of Justins tone,

Barts? really? This may be more a result of the effects being used to achieve that sound, because in my experience, Barts are the complete furthest opposite of Wal electronics. Barts are uber clean and polite, where Wals are snarly-biting and have attitude.

Zero effects. DR Lo Riders and a heavy picking hand plugged into a Radial JDI going straight into the board.

It honestly doesn't really matter what bass I'm using as long as it's strung with SS strings and I've got a pick in my hand. Which is funny since he uses EB nickels IIRC. I always sound somewhat similar to JC...just moreso with my Modulus IMO.
 
I just nailed the 46&2 Tone using this setup:
The amp (settings as shown)
Link Removed
The bass (basically, a stack knob jazz with seymour duncan 1/4 pounders)
Link Removed
The pick: Ernie Ball Heavy
Link Removed
The 1st Pedal: Tech 21 Sansamp Bass Driver DI (Settings as shown)
Link Removed
The 2nd Pedal: DOD FX65 stereo chorus (settings as shown)

I completely NAILED the 46&2 tone with this setup. Unfortunately, I have no way of doing sound demos until tomorrow, but just trust me.
