Paul D'Amour (born May 12, 1967) is an American musician and was the first bassist for Tool.[1] His bass sound is recognized by the aggressive picked tone he developed with his Chris Squire Signature Rickenbacker 4001CS, which can be heard on Tool's first full-length album, Undertow. Since March 2019, he has been the bassist for industrial metal band Ministry.[2]
