Justin Chancellor's Gear
In this article from Bass Magazine, Justin gives an interview discussing his new signature wah pedal from his collaboration with Dunlop. We can even see him use it in a photo that’s shown at the top of the page. Dunlop also included Justin in a humorous, Christmas-themed promotional video for the pedal, in which he demonstrated a few sounds with it. The link for the video is here: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=rrCmqE9HuZc

In a video captured by Tyler Roland and titled "Justin Chancellor Fools Around," Justin Chancellor can be observed employing an Ernie Ball Music Man Stingray Natural 4-String Bass Guitar. This particular instrument features a single humbucker, a rosewood fretboard, and a natural finish, distinctively adorned with black triangles painted around its body. The footage, taken during a bass charity event aimed at rainforest preservation, showcases Chancellor's versatility on the bass.

Justin Chancellor, bassist for Tool, has been using Red Monkey Classic 3" Guitar Straps since 2007, with these pieces developed through their Custom Shop and tailored to his preferences. These straps are not off-the-shelf; they are purpose-built to suit his rig and playing style. The 3" Classic Guitar Strap is chosen for its wider profile, providing even weight distribution of his bass during long, demanding performances. Known for his dynamic and effects-driven playing, Justin relies on a strap that offers stability and consistency without distraction. Red Monkey straps are a constant in his live performances, seen across global tours and official footage, and have become an integral part of his stage setup. This long-term relationship is rooted in performance, with custom-built gear refined over years of real-world use at the highest level. An image supporting this can be found in the 2019 documentation of Tool's performances.
In this wall of basses presumably owned by Justin, a Wal MKI can be seen among them. You can tell it’s a MKI due to it having 21 frets and less upper fret access. Justin also borrowed Greg Edwards’ MKI to record the album Aenima
