sorry to bust everyone's fieldy-hating bubble, but he does have some ability.

:rolleyes: i know a few folks, including some fellow talkbassers who happen to play for a living, who gig or have gigged with some of the better ibanezes. guys who have been playing pro longer than your friend has probably been alive.

free your mind.

Word.

okay, dunno if this has been talked about but, hell. why does everyone think fieldy (korn) is so talented? IMO, hes not the great. he does his job, but no more. im not a fan of korn, so maybe im missing something. im also not a fan of ibanez basses. as a friend of mine once said, "you know what expierenced bass players use ibanez basses for? fire wood :D"

All this made sense after I noticed that Pharmecopia only have 2 months here.........:D :D

im not saying he sucks, but when people talk about him theyre like : "oh my god, fieldy. the bass god!" and they like worship the fella.


Actually I do other things with my basses than fire, and I'm very satisfied with them.

And if I hear someone calling Fieldy "the bass god" or anything similar, I just asume they have very limited knowledge on bass, and don't waste my time opening a thread on it.
 
I think Fieldy is a good bass player, and by that he - like all bass players should - plays the lines that fit in best with the band he's in.

The low, percussive sound he has rocks. It was one of the reasons i started to play bass, i will say that once i could play fieldy's lines - not entirely difficult - i got sick of it because i couldn't get the tone he does and it sounded crap.
 
i thought hellraiser 5 was sorta cool - very different story.

i think it would be really cool if they started a hellraiser/twilight zone sorta series, hosted by pinhead. twilight zone type stories, but darker and more hellraiser-esque in theme and presentation. :D
 
RE using Ibanezes for firewood.
I know many happy Ibanez owners (Including myself) who really like Ibanez basses.
Granted, the lower priced ones (Soundgear etc) are not great, but I have a BTB and it kicks ass. By the way, Fieldy is talented. Obviously not to the degree of Stu Hamm or Victor Wooten, but he's not bad. And, because we have the same pre-amp, I can pull his sound off to a tee.
Anyone else with an Ibanez find the ability to do this?
 
we have deducted from this thread....

Pharmecopia is a newb.
Fieldy is a tight bassist.
Hellraiser V is a turd. (outnumbered JT!)
Ibanez is O.k for some, and bad for some.
There is nothing wrong with lo-end.
Apparently this thread should die.
Carrots.

all in under one page, well done.

*clap*

:D:D:D
