➡️ When I hear people talk about ‪@kornchannel‬ I usually hear them mention that clicky, THUNDEROUS bass sound that characterizes their music. I absolutely love when a band is commonly characterized by their bass player - it proves JUST how powerful and effective the instrument can be, even in a genre like nu metal. I had a fun time with this KoЯn reaction trying to dissect exactly what Reginald "Fieldy" Arvizu does on a technical level - but make no mistake, it’s one of the most signature bass sounds in the heavy music scene. To me, it blends the visceral feeling of classic hip-hop records with the driving intensity of heavy metal. In this video, I watch a live bass play-through of “Got the Life” from KoRn’s break-through album “Follow the Leader” released in 1998. In this video, I talk about Fieldy’s signature percussive slap technique, his extremely EQ scooped bass tone, and how his bass playing style showcases the wide palette of possibilities the instrument can contribute to a band’s sound.

Fieldy was my one primary inspiration for wanting to play bass. It was years later I discovered that there are a lot of people who consider him a bad bass player. A sentiment that is obviously hilarious, considering the overwhelming majority of bass players hardly ever break out of the mediocrity of being just the foundation. Fieldy has incredible stage presence, a unique style and one particular thing that only very few bass players ever have; a truly unique and instantly recognizable sound.

@ObeseChess 11 месяцев назад

I’m glad Fieldy is done being a punchline. For as long as I can remember, he was like, the quintessential “bad bass player.” And then people - myself included - started realizing what he had been saying all along. “I treat the bass like a second percussion instrument rather than a lower guitar.” Once that clicks, you’re like “oh SHIT, this dude can PLAY,” he’s just not playing like anyone else.

A noteworthy aspect to Fieldy's playing is the position of the bass. His right hand slap technique is similar to playing with your thumb parallel to the strings, but he plays the bass with the neck higher, almost vertical like an upright acoustic bass

I had a friend in college who was a really incredible bassist. We always talked about how cool we thought Ryan Martini, Fieldy, and Cliff Burton were. We both loved the Fieldy tone, and I told him “Yeah that click bass sound” and it was like a light went on for him. He locked in a sick clicky bass tone in his band. I loved listening to him play, so groovy

I love this so much... it is like Ryan Martinie and Fieldy started their own nu-metal-slap schools back then. It is so different directions and cool in the same time. You know, that sound design... those are literally opposites! :D And then there's Paul Gray doing his own thing, having another approach. Really cool back in the days. While I always preferred Ryan's Tone/EQ and technique, I'm glad I could enjoy something else like Korn. Thanks for sharing! EDIT: Just to add one thing re: Fieldy-> It was rumored back in the day, that they actually used microphones to record directly all the noises that came from the strings bouncing of off the bass/frets and then they might have re-amped it somehow and blend it with the actually bass track/chain. I don't know if that's true, but it just hit my mind. Pretty cool idea though.

People always talk about fieldy’s percussive technique and mid-scooped clicky tone. But there are moments that he plays smooth bass lines like in swallow or porno creep, some of the growling tones from the first records, his use of bass synth and modulation effects on follow the leader, and some more sick bass solo lines on issues. I could go on. He definitely has more sounds to analyze and appreciate. I am glad you covered him on your channel though! He was definitely creative and innovative within a genre that has very mixed reviews these days.

@B---tw3kh Год назад

The most creative thing about Fieldy is how he played the bass when the guitarists are using 7 string guitars tuned to A. Munky and Head both play so low that their guitars majorly overlap with the "usual" bass register. Anyone who's played low bass chords will know how easy it is to muddy up the mix if done wrong. Fieldy's tone and slap technique is great because it creates a technique and layer that fits that super low guitar vibe without muddying up the sound

@DeathMetalDerf 5 месяцев назад

When you see them live, and Fieldy's actually playing with them, you FEEL that bass slam straight into you like a truck doing about 177 miles per hour (285 kph for the non-Americans). No one else they've had play with them has been able to capture that same tone and feel, and I think part of it is gear, and the other part of it is something that can't be taught or bought. You should check out I, Mother Earth's One More Astronaut and Here and Now by the Ernies. Some Canadian funk rock/metal from the 1990's. Very funky stuff.

I dont think he has EMGs as Ibanez basses have Bartolini pickups BUT that is hus signature K5 bass so maybe it has EMGs. Thanks again. Love this channel

@chriscuthbertson Год назад

I have a preset on my Helix I created just to emulate Fieldy's tone, including dropping the tuning a step. It's so much fun to just switch to that preset and slap the hell out of my bass, I really love the tone because I can go from a super aggressive tone to a very dubby tone just by changing the way i attack the string with my right hand. I used to have a synth bass pedal that used to do that fuzzy sound perfectly, I think it was a Ibanez toneloc pedal.

Always loved fieldy's approach to the instrument as an extension to the percussion section with notes. It really suits the band being as out of the box as they are. This song is tame, listen to some of the tunes on they're second album for the most Korn of early Korn. I remember reading something in guitar mag when this album came out and fieldy said something to the effect of wanting to have a huge impact, along with the drums, but still leave a ton of space for the guitars and vocals.

Not really a big fan of Korn's music, but Fieldy has such a unique technique and tone that 100% completes the sound of the band. Having the bass doing anything different would completely change the vibe of the band

As a 90s kid, (nu)metalhead, and bass player, Reggie's tone for me is the very best ever, and his style is so groovy and heavy af.

I really wish Mike Butler from The Tony Danza Tapdance Extravaganza was still around and playing. Dude was an absolute madman on a bass. A mix of Fieldy and I don't know how to explain it. If you know you know.

I know, homie. Saw them with a life once lost and arsonists get all the girls at a tiny show in my tiny town a long time ago. Josh blew my brain balls, and I remember thinking how is this bass player even finding space to play in these songs, but he just killed it. Amazing.

My favorite thing about Fieldy is how he hasn’t ever tried to be anyone else. He has such an instantly recognizable sound that went on to inspire other bass players to incorporate a similar tone. I’ve always loved how percussive and clicky his play style is. Add in how heavy his down tuned bass is and you get hit with this wave of deep yet fuzzy sound that’s also very percussive. It shouldn’t work yet it does. His playing style helped give KORN their signature sound and set them apart from anyone else.

@rafaelmatias2154 5 месяцев назад

instrumentistas com técnicas diferenciadas para um tipo de estilo, faz com que o conjunto tenha um som mais "original", e cria uma banda diferenciada. Korn, Mudvayne, entre outras, faz com que o estilo musical não seja uma mesmice. Isso é muito bom e gratificante.

So Fieldy is my hero in life. He is the reason I play bass. I have a Fieldy signature Ibanez K5 Bass. I have seen Korn 3x. If you were curious his tone, it's treble all the way up, bass in the middle and mids completely cut. (His signature has a fully sweepable mid knob). It gives him the bright snappy pop and the click. All the low ana everything and is from how he plays. The pickups are Ibanez own ABX5 pickups. Rare pickups outside of his signature (I absolutely love mine.) My fieldy bass is a workhorse bass. Along with Jen Ledger of Skillet, Fieldy is my biggest inspiration in life and as a musician. If u have never read his book or tried his signature Bass I highly recommend it!

Fieldy is a very underrated bass player in the bass world. His style is completely unique and that’s what players hate on (because it’s not “proper” slap technique) but if you listen to his note placement it’s very simple to the point where it’s musically perfect and no one can argue with his tone. But the most impressive thing he does: when he slaps he locks perfectly in the pocket, even live. A lot of good players can play those bass lines but it’s how he’s in the pocket, a lot of really good players can’t groove like that. That’s what makes him simply amazing in his own right

@AOTBrightSide 11 месяцев назад

Yup! Couldn't agree more. When I heard KoRn for the very first time, first of all, I noticed a great unique bass line that I'd never heard before and I was like "OMG, I need to check out this band". Later obviously I got into all of their work, but I think that if it wasn't Fieldy's bass, I might have discovered Korn for myself much much later, if at all. So, for me, it's really strange to hear whenever Fieldy's style is criticized...

@themadhiker 29 дней назад

I love Fieldy’s bass sound. It’s so percussive and it’s not about notes with the way he slaps and mutes on top of that ultra scooped EQ. He unjustly gets a lot of hate but his bank account doesn’t argue.

@undertuga 10 месяцев назад

Yep, the bass is an Ibanez (now known as Ibanez K5), and the pickups are active and known as IBZ ADX5N (neck) and IBZ ADX5B (bridge)! Fieldy is one of my favourite bass players... Him and Dick Lövgren are insane, out of this world bass players.

He’s is playing his signature series Ibanez the “K5”. The band has almost exclusively used Ibanez guitars and basses. They made 7 string guitars popular/trendy.
