Last updated 11th Oct 2017
Korn bassist Reginald ‘Fieldy’ Arvizu has announced details of his solo album ‘Bassically’.
Released on Friday 17th November, the 17-track record is centred on Fieldy’s beloved instrument of choice – the bass guitar – and embraces a series of different styles; from rock to funk and fusion.
Fieldy explains: “This is a bass album that encompasses the last nine years of my life on the road recording with a variety of special and unique basses.
“This project features recordings of mine from dressing rooms, tour buses, hotel rooms and other unique locations playing on basses just as obscure as the locations. It’s a blend of funk, fusion, and rock – I can’t wait to share it with you."
Korn drummer Ray Luzier features on five tracks - ‘Bass ’O Rama’, ‘Step Right Up’, ‘Basque K Cinco’, ‘Zibba Zibop’ and ‘Mr. Bassmen’ – where he plays drums, bongos, shaker, tambourine and djembe.
Elsewhere, ‘JD Fresh’ features Jonathan Davis on beatbox and ‘I Wuv Bass Mon’ boasts Brian “Head” Welch on vocals and P.O.D’s Noah Bernardo on drums. The album was produced by Fieldy's writing partner, Anthony "Q" Quiles" and mixed by Chris Collier.
