Just lower the tuning till your strings almost fall off then beat the crap out of your bass the with all your amp knobs on 11 minus the mids set at o. |

He uses some kind of effect that puts the clicky sound. |

| Contribution Points = 0. Go somewhere else.
Fieldy gets his unique slapping sound through a slap effect, by mic'ing his horns, and cuting out all mids, and boosting everything else. If you have a 5 string, keep your tuning BEADG, (4, tune a step down) lower your strings until the vibrate on your frets, and voila! You're ready to cut through the chorus of "Y'all Want a Single."

Rob | Did your rugs come back making clicky noises when someone stepped on them???? |

He tunes the 5 string bass one step down, that means A D G C F
You can read here an interview where he talks about his sound http://www.guitarcenter.com/interview/fieldy/index.cfm
I think the main meal in his sound are:
-low action
-fresh strings (very important)
-Bass 10, Mid 10, Treble 10 (or more  )
-low tuning
I hope I helped
