How to get Fieldy's bass tone in 30 seconds! #bass #korn

Perfect example of a bass tone that only works in context of the music

[Jay-week]

I think Fieldy sounds more like percussion than any other bassist I've ever heard. He slaps the absolute shit out of that bass.

I've always loved Fieldys tone, because since the guitars are already tuned to the bass register, Fieldy plays it more as a secondary percussive instrument rather than true bass

[AEONtheproducer]

Fieldy's Bass tone is absolutely crucial for KoRns distinct sound. I love it

[ElliYeetYT]

It’s a tone and sound that still works because instead of being a like a usual bass where there is more clean and clear tone for notes, Fieldy decided to not only go down to A Tuning with those crazy amp settings, but to bring the action as low as possible. Which turned it from a bass into a secondary percussion instrument.

Fieldy doesnt use his thumb when he slaps, he uses the whole hand like a cave man

If there's one thing I always loved about Korn, it was Fieldy's bass playing.

“That’s certainly a unique sound.” 😂😂😂Lol

Bass/playing aside. The trick is to duplicate the bass tracks so you have 2. Then with one you remove all the highs with a low pass at 150 and name it "Low" and the other remove all lows with a high pass at 150 and name it high. Then you can process the low end very mono with a limiter to keep the lows consistent and controlled and then using saturation and other fx on the high channel to give a best of both worlds... Similar results can be obtained from fabfilter Saturn as well by splitting the freq spectrum in 3rds and saturating the top 2 to taste 😊

Part 10 asking for mike starrs bass tone

[sentinal]

For me, korn is one of the few bands I can recognise purely from the bass, and I love it, it just adds this grittiness to it that I’ve not seen in any other bands

When they blew up in the 90s I hated it, now I love everything about his tone. Unique, propels the music, and is just felt!!!

[bmminc]

Dude is my favorite..love that tone and how he executes his licks..Crunchy af..

[swarley]

Fieldy is every drummers favorite bassist

[LPwarrior]

Never been a fan of his tone but I appreciate the intention to be unique

[temsx]

five-string bass - the best invention in the history of bass

[OnlinePerzon]

Wait, why do you hate 5 string behses?

Still a nice video 👍

I read in an interview years ago that the unique rattle.sound at the top end was from the bass being run through a little speaker laying on its back, with a bunch of little beads sitting on the speaker. Then it was captured with a microphone and mixed with the main bass sound. Pretty brilliant.

So happy that finally Fieldy gets a spotlight on his bass tone... Now on behalf of Fieldy brother from Slipknot Paul Gray needs his bass tone spotlight.

As much as I love mid-heavy McCartney and Jameson Lines, and bright, spacey, noodly Peter Hook stuff, I can't help but love Fieldy's tone. And it's not just the slap stuff, the sub bass coming from the intro to Freak on a Leash is what gives the song its eery and creepy feel.

Anyway, this tone has too much gain and the strings aren't bright enough - probably need to be brand new (or really good coated strings).
