Korn Bass Sound

[PowerCouple]

Hello everyone! It´s been a while since the last time...
Does anyone know how to achieve that Korn Bass sound (or similar). The point is that we love that kind of fat-detuned-loose string-bright-subtle sound (phew! describing THAT was a heavy mind effort for me -great sounds can´t be explained mostly-).
If any of you, smart kids out there, know the formula (and want to share it), please help us!!

Tanx everyone!

Merry Xmas...

...and a great sounding new year (or new ear?).

How about a loosely tuned 5-string with lot's of effects pedals? Sorry, that's about as much as I can help.

I would search the web for Fieldy's pedal-guitar-amp-effect setup, I'm sure there are several sites with that info.

Detune a 5 string bass by one whole step (A,D,G,C,F) and you are most of the way there... seems to be the fat detuned bass sound with a bright back-kick from the strings rattling against the frets slightly......

Yeah, the detuning will bring you nearly all the way there. The strings lightly buzz against the frets and it causes nearly the same sound as light distortion (I think it sounds better than distorting the bass though). The rest will be up to your tone and amp setup. A good idea for bass guitars is always a equalisation pedal.

Yeah I would think that EQing the mid range out would give it a tighter sound too.

Well, to get that korny-bass sound I suggest simply detuning your bass a bit. I'm pretty sure what's-his-name plays a five string detuned one step down. This should result in very loose strings that create a rattley, more percussive sound when played.
