Notes
Studio recording, 1998 (Follow the Leader album); Fieldy used both amp and DI, with heavy EQ sculpting and possible pedal use for extra scoop/distortion.
Tone Character(9)
extremely scooped midsdeep, subby low endclicky, percussive highsaggressive slap attackgritty, overdriven edgevery dry, little ambiencedistinctive 'clack' on string attackartificial, almost electronic distortiontight, compressed dynamics
Difficulty
The part requires aggressive, syncopated slap playing with a highly percussive attack and tight muting, especially challenging in ultra-low tunings. While not virtuosic, the tone and articulation demand control and consistency.
