Well lately I've ben improving on my bass a lot. I can play songs like long view etc. I have a question. I have a 4 string bass and I like the band Korn very much but Fieldy plays it on a 6 string which is that really low fat string in almost all of his songs. How can I pull this of with a 4 string ?

a) its a 5 string.

De-tune the Low E to Fieldy's note? Is he often playing Low C? not sur...

Ignore me and listen to this guy intead.

He plays mostly on the A string.

if you try it with the E string thats on your bass, it wont work.

Whats a mid-scoop ? Explain.

Yea but I'm in this guitar thing and I don't want to switch strings.

This means that on your equalizer (EQ), you turn down the mid-band.

You really should get a 5 string if you want to do it 'properly'.

Nope, mine have 4 as follows.

Then turn down both mid-bands.

Downtune your E to A and slap it with your hand.

I did that, and it's really high.

as is tune the string lower, not higher.

Yeah.

like $5 most likely.
