I'm surprised this hasn't been done yet. Lately many people have been talking about bass lines or screams that Chi has done on particular songs that they like. So why not list your top 5 Deftones songs where Chi's contribution really sticks out to you.
Teething, Needles and Pins, Damone cause I just love Chi's screams.
7 Words, Cherry Waves for the bass lines.
One week for sure needles and pins teething gift/guest damone

Chi has an awesome bass tone, it's old school, very thick.

yea, agreed. He kinda has to considering Stephs guitars grow increasingly lower.And the fact that he doesn't use picks adds to the reverb thickness, but I love how he elaborates Abe's beats with a solid groove that i think distinguishes them from typical metal. The "groove" factor(dont know what other way to describe it) seems to have always distinguished deftones from their peers/metal in general
yeah for sure, I love how he just uses his fingers too, all the best bass players do too, that's dub stylee!
yeah chi's sound is something else man....
i'd have to say some of his awesome work on albums :
adrenaline: Nosebleed, the part with bas + drum...fk!, Swords...
Around the fur: Lotion (FUCK!!!! that one grooves), around the fur...the "quiet" breakdown part in the middle...
WP: Change...turn the bass up real loud to hear it...fuck... and ofcourse Knife Prty :)
S/T: Needles & Pins + Bloody Cape
SNW: Beware, cherry waves and HITE,,, in those 3 songs the bass is so important for the songs...they are such a good foundation esp with abe's drums!
groove on
Yeah Fireal is one of the most heartfelt recordings of all time in any genre, and that part where chi let's it build up, that is timeless. And that riff stephen through down is probably my favorite riff ever too.
Only way to get that true metal sound is without a pick. Allows the string to resinate vibrations and womens bras come right off.

Get really stoned, pop a euphoric narcotic (percocet for me that one time), and you will appreciate the bass in Digital Bath like never before. Not that I'm exactly condoning such actions, I just remember having a really good time and enjoying (the bass in) Digital Bath like I never had before during that experience.
I've tried to cover Deathblow, it is one sick fucking bassline - a first besides a lot of Matt Freeman (Op Iv, Rancid) that I could not follow with my bass.
Oh shit forgot Deathblow, that's gotta be number one.
yea Deathblow, here is mine...
• Cherry Waves
• Damone
• U, U, D, D, L, R, L, R, A, B, Select, Start
• Dai The Flu
• One Weak
one weak
deathblow
lucky you
seven words
dai
7 words is such a fun bass line to play... Chi came up with an awesome riff for that track...
If i had to pick just one, It would be UUDDLRLR.... Fucking great song!}
BTW: Chi does plays bass on this, really?
It's an awesome tune!!
Then the classicals: 7 Words, Root, One Weak, Nosebleed, Beware, Cherry Waves, Deathblow, Lotion, MOS, and the list seems to be growing!!!!!!!!!!!
Savory is the only song from the Deftones that Chi didn't play the bass that I'm aware of. Stef played bass for Savory, and I think black moon.
