Used to love that bass, would kill to get it back (it was stolen), take good care and make the best of that bass, it will do wonders if you learn to use it right.

Is the ibanez k5 that bad?

Definitely the player that gives the bass a 'bad' name - Fieldy is the guy after all who says variable midrange control lets him '..take the midrange and turn that sh* off!...'
With that kind of attitude he could make ANY bass sound...Fieldish - anyway, who am I to criticize, the guy's successful, and unique.

Since Fieldy doesn't play like all these wanker purists on this site would like him to (so he therefore has a unique sound) they just dish out the hate. Like everyone before me I'd just suggest ignore what anyone says because aside from you and other bassists, no-one will know it's a Fieldy sig model.
Now I understand the tone of the bassist last night.
It was a Korn tribute band, and the Ibanez looked freaking sweet but I didn't get why the tone was all boom and clank.
So this Fieldy guy doesn't like mids?
That's cool. Be yourself.
Does he like notes?
All I heard was a bunch of noise, and demanded my cover charge back on the way out.

Obviously you shouldn't judge the bass according to really bad recordings such as this in which all tone and musicality is lost. Obviously the sound guy was biased and mixed the drums fairly well but couldn't get anything better than a distorted rubberband tone for poor Fieldy.
