Bass player Justin Chancellor goes beyond the role of his instrument. When needed, he provides the low end glue that holds Tool’s intricate, multi-layered sound together. Just as often, though, he’ll play everything from chords, harmonics, and single-note melodies up and down the neck of his bass guitar to expand the borders of a soundscape and occasionally trade roles with guitarist Adam Jones. Justin’s artful use of a dynamic array of effects has further cemented his reputation among bass players as a forward-thinking sonic craftsman.

Justin plays exclusively with Tortex^® Picks and loves the Cry Baby^® Justin Chancellor Wah, the MXR^® Bass Octave Deluxe, and the MXR® Bass Envelope Filter to enrich his sonic craftsmanship.
