	Musicians - Reginald Arvizu

Reginald "Fieldy" Arvizu (born November 2, 1969 in Bakersfield, California) is the bass player for the band KoЯn.

Prior to this, he also started the band L.A.P.D. with Munky, Head and David Silveria, also future members of KoЯn. L.A.P.D stood for "Love and Peace, Dude".

The name "Fieldy" is said to have come about as an abbreviation for "Garfield", based on the comic strip character of the same name. Originally, his band mates called him "Gopher", due to his large cheeks. Gopher became "Garf", Garf became Garfield, which became Fieldy. His full moniker is "Fieldy Snuts", which when spoken aloud sounds like "Feel these nuts", or "Fieldy's nuts". This is also the name of his record label.

He plays a 5-string Ibanez model SR5005, named the K-5, which is his signature bass.

His playing style consists of slapping, double slapping, double-popping, standard finger-style plucking, and palm muting; his tuning is A, D, G, C, F.

In addition to KoЯn, he has a rap side-project called Fieldy's Dreams. He has released one album, Rock and Roll Gangster. He currently has a second album in the works.

Fieldy recently announced his engagement, and will marry in May of 2006. It will be the second for her, first for him. He also has two young daughters, Serena and Olivia.

Fieldy has stated this on his second album still in the works: "I'm working on another solo record," says Fieldy. "It's heavy, man. It's gonna be totally the flipside of Fieldy's Dreams." Fieldy will be working alongside producer Polarbear on his new solo project, whom also contributed to "Rock N Roll Gangster." "I've got about eight songs, instrumentals with hooks in them," Fieldy said. "I'm singing and it's just more heavier hardcore, not really like the goofy, funny rap thing." There is no current release date for the CD, as Fieldy is fully focused on Korn right now. Korn just finished a video for their second single, "Coming Undone," before launching the first leg of their North American tour on February 24th in Bakersfield, California.
