[edit] Equipment
[edit] Basses
- Wal - Chancellor’s main bass is a Wal 4-string he bought on a friend’s recommendation during the recording of Ænima. The bass’s woods and electronics help create the midrange cut and punch for which he is known. Justin also has three other four-string Wals: an identical model to his main bass, but with less midrange response (used on Wings for Marie parts one and two), a Mach III with a greenburst finish (used for the harmonic sections in "Right in Two"), and a lined fretless with a walnut top (used in the second verse of "Lateralus"). He strings them all with standard-gauge Ernie Balls.
