Specification

Fieldy from Korn has long been an Ibanez user due to its low weight and sound and he got an endorsement deal with Ibanez soon after the breakthrough of KoRn. The five string K5 bass is designed by Ibanez along with Fieldy and includes a Mahogany body, Rosewood fretboard with 24 frets and a K5 inlay at the 12th fret, gold hardware, two active pickups and a Vari-Mid EQ. To achieve his signature sound Fieldy tunes his basses to A, D, G, C, F, turns the midrange all the way off and brings down the EQ all the way down at 180 Hz. This makes Fieldys bass stand out from the low end of the two seven string guitars instead of getting too muddy.

I've played all kinds of basses. I've got other companies that want me to endorse, but I don't like any other basses. I'm not like some people who play an instrument because of a contract. I'm playing it because I love it.

gollark: Maybe just have a few hardcoded "esolang types" - symbol-y, stack-based, register machines, whatever.
gollark: But not actual original interesting ideas.
gollark: You could probably make Turi/BF-type things easily by just having some fixed list of commands and randomly assigning them symbols.
gollark: Like MetaGolfScript.
gollark: Hmm, idea: automated bad esolang generator which makes unoriginal boring eoslangs which are *sort of* different enough to be considered esolangs for the quota.
