Notes
Paul Gray likely used a Warwick Thumb or Music Man StingRay live; studio tone may be DI with heavy compression and distortion.
Tone Character(3)
High gain, scooped mids, punchy bassBright treble for clarity and pick attackCompressed, tight low end
Difficulty
The bass part features fast, syncopated chugging in drop A tuning, requiring precision and tight rhythmic control, but uses straightforward technique (pick, no slap or advanced fills).
