What is that weird sound?

[right_in_three]

As the guitar plays it's clean picking in the intro with it's spacey delay, what is that weird high-pitched harmonic thing in the back bending notes? Is that Justin with massive whammy like on Disposition?

Cuz if it is, its beautiful.

[insaner]

its beautiful even if it isnt.

[right_in_three]

True.

More than 3 hours and still no answer?? Where are the sound experts?????? This was my first question about Right in Two?? Whats the high bass-but-never-heard-by-bass-like-sound?????

[insaner]

i dont know. i asked about the WARR bass in another thread. maybe thats what it is. hell it could also be a guitar or even a drum.

[right_in_three]

With Tool, you never know. It's probably monkeys killing monkeys.

saw this, felt it was a good place for my first post. Yes. It's justin. I'm pretty sure he using all harmonics, and acutaly bending them. Also hes got a bunch of effects: tremlo, chorus slight delay and he might be using his wammy pedal. When i herd this i pretty much pooped my pants.

[praefector]

im not sure i know for sure what youre talking about

but if youre thinking of the part im thinking of it sounds like bass harmonics with an octaver and vibrato/tremolo

could possibly even be harp harmonics, which i have never heard played on a bass but i imagine it would sound like that

[chickenweasel]

yeah, i'm thinking it's Justin too.
and the OP is right, it is a damned beautiful sound.

I am having a toolgasm right now after reading your post praefector, and listening to "right in two" simultaneously.

agreed. he's on fire all over this record. great stuff.

[etc43]

I immediately thought it was bass harmonics and whammy. And listening to it again, I'm 99% certain it is, since the note goes up and down in exactly an octave interval. If I had a bass, I'd figure out how to play it, but I've only got a guitar and a whammy pedal...

i couldnt agree more. i see him all hippied out in the loft with no shoes on.

[something_Dark]

thats harmonics softly plucked on the maybe 12th bass fret? and a roto vibe pedal for sure.

No, it isn´t Warr.


It´s Justin, with a whammy and perhaps some other pedals.

[praefector]

what are you guys calling a whammy

whammy to me = bar to release or add tremolo tension

dunno what you guys are talkin about

harmonics, possibly harp harmonics, tremo/vibrato, reverb/chorus, and octaver will reproduce the sound (yes, i tried it)

Justin just got fucking groovy this album. That is all there is too it. I can't get enough.

Justin is playing harmonics on the 5th fret of his high D & G strings. Does have a tremelo effect on there and also is using is digitech bass whammy pedal (which the bass model no longer manufactured... need to have some luck on ebay to find one these days). Think he has the harmonizer setting for the bass whammy on the 5th (down) to 6th (up) for the creepy bending noises...
