It’s a tone and sound that still works because instead of being a like a usual bass where there is more clean and clear tone for notes, Fieldy decided to not only go down to A Tuning with those crazy amp settings, but to bring the action as low as possible. Which turned it from a bass into a secondary percussion instrument.

Bass/playing aside. The trick is to duplicate the bass tracks so you have 2. Then with one you remove all the highs with a low pass at 150 and name it "Low" and the other remove all lows with a high pass at 150 and name it high. Then you can process the low end very mono with a limiter to keep the lows consistent and controlled and then using saturation and other fx on the high channel to give a best of both worlds... Similar results can be obtained from fabfilter Saturn as well by splitting the freq spectrum in 3rds and saturating the top 2 to taste 😊

As much as I love mid-heavy McCartney and Jameson Lines, and bright, spacey, noodly Peter Hook stuff, I can't help but love Fieldy's tone. And it's not just the slap stuff, the sub bass coming from the intro to Freak on a Leash is what gives the song its eery and creepy feel. Anyway, this tone has too much gain and the strings aren't bright enough - probably need to be brand new (or really good coated strings).

EQ'd everything on the Amp to 2-3 O'Clock, added some Sub and engaged the Shape, and added some Overdrive gained high but with the cleans overpowering to give off a slight Ampeg-ish growl.

So actually you’re close, the Fieldy sound is more about where you place the microphone in the studio, from what I’ve read they mic’d the cabinet for the recording, which is funny cause such an unorthodox sound comes from the best traditional way to record a bass. The only difference though however is that korn decided to mic the horn of the speaker resulting in a massive gap between the low and high end which only gets more accentuated by the extremely low tuning!

If they were genuinely terrible live, nobody would see them and they are a band that tours just a little too often and sells out just a little too much to be considered bad live, even subjectively.
