RYKNOW
Birth Name: Ryan Martinie

Bass: Warwick 5 String Thumb Bass

Amps:
Ampeg SVT-2Pro head with PR-810 cabinet.
Ryknow also uses a SWR Workingman's 10 head, which has the speaker pulled out of it and is hooked up to a Messa/Boogie cabinet to build his midrange tone.

Note on Ryknow:
He has also been known to go by RU-D. Ryknow is double-jointed. Mudvayne's guitarist (Greg Tribbett)  and Martinie both play their instruments tuned in C—Tribbett’s guitars are tuned, low to high, C G C F A D, while Martinie’s basses are tuned, low to high, G C G C F. Both favor DR strings. “You’ve got two sets of octaves,” Martinie says of his bass tuning, “so your shapes change, as far as the chords that you play. Also, the placement of harmonics is different, so you can do different combinations that are slightly unnatural sounding.”
