FEILDY!!!!

[Muzique Fann]

Are you guys serious!? Did Fieldy really put out his own solo bass cd?! Talk about shock and awe.

A question regarding the bassist know as "Feildy", with all the clanky in his style do you think he is damaging his amplification?.

 

[pretaanluxis]

I don't think Fieldy played the bass on his solo album, it was a very weak rap album.

I like his sound and how he does things I don't expect, like the solo on BBK (it doesn't sound like a bass at all)

no it's just he has the mid range completley taken out and has the tone controls set a certain way to get his sound it's really no different than when you do slap and things like that

Interesting Fieldy side story: We played Bakersfield last month, and I met a beautiful mortician who helped organize his dad's funeral. She told me that not only did the band members not show up, but they didn't send flowers or cards. :scowl: What gives? Are they feuding?

I "Strongly Dislike" Korn...and dont even get me started on +_-Fi37Dy122__

 

[Sean S]

but ol' JD on the vocals whines too much.

John Denver sings for Korn? Wow. Color me suprised.

I thought his name was jack daniels?

I love Fieldy, in my opion hes one of the best. Its funny though to see ppl rat own him for his tone and his technique, sone people dont like orginal sounding bassists. KoRn is awsome and Feildy is very talented, but his solo album was not good. I thought it be crazy bass solos instead its rap. But that aside Fieldy is one the best

 

[Matt Till]

He doesn't sound "original" he sounds like "My name is Mud" over and over and over again.

"There are some who take the sound, from someone elses toils, liking to parrots you see."

His strings are not hitting the pickups?.

 

[Tash]

They probably are, as far as I know this isn't "bad" for your amp in any way. Lots of people even tap against pickups to get a certain sound (it works better on some basses than others).

 

[Razor]

Unique sound/technique?? Why yes...most certainly.

Copied by many? Not hardly.

Therefore I really can't see him as setting that much of a benchmark for aspiring players. I do give him props for doing something different..but that's about it.

Kevin, I think that as long as he's got some compression going with his rig the pops and peaks from the slapping and all shouldn't be much of a problem.

 

[Fatbasstard]

Korn is my favorite band so of course I think Fieldy is awesome.

 

[Nickthebassist]

Fieldy's tone on the albums is pretty good, but live it sucks..........when he plays live there's more bass coming from the guitars.
