I saw a couple of Sadowskys in the rack but since he didn't talk about them I'm wondering if he even plans to sell them. I guess he still uses them frequently while this is just a bunch of collectible stuff collecting dust. That Fender V's strings look like they haven't had the strings changed since leaving the factory... in the '60s lol

I know a certain guy/studio that will probably buy them all and flip for 5x what he paid

I just want to see the Reddit thread from the dude who bought the Dobro from the former Metallica Bassist.
Nice collection. I was expecting a few ESPs, weirdly happy to be wrong.

I'm pretty sure the one bass I want wasn't actually his...

Don't really follow any Bass player.
Just curious if there is any iconic/legendary gear here? Anything a die-hard fan must have in this auction?

Good luck with that!
To me it looks like grandpa's garage sale. I would try to sell all that old, dust collecting, space occupying stuff, too.

I think he's gonna take that one to the grave.
Honestly the only thing I can see that would be worth it as a die-hard Newsted fan is the Alembic 12-string and the Zon fretless.
Like we dicussed above, a lot of these just seem like dust collectors.

Seems like he just listed a bunch of amps he used on the recent arena tour(s)
The little ukulele. God-tier. I think maybe Hetfield borrowed it for recording The Unforgiven.
But don't quote me on that.

Did anyone notice any pricing or do we have to wait till the store opens?
Have to wait I guess. I imagine the prices will be pretty high, and if not some flipper will buy them instantly.
This kind of stuff never seems worth it. An instrument isn't better because some famous guy owned it.
I'd be surprised if these were bought by actual musician to play.

I heard the Spector belonged to Bob Rock.
I never really understood why Jason never went the Spector route, that said his Sadowsky sound was killer.

It was brief but between 1994 - 1995 he was a Spector artist and even had a sig model. g was funny looking, though. It's like they tried to throw a Spector NS2/NS5 and Alembic Elon and Europa in a blender lol
But yeah Jason strictly used these in 1994 and 1995... then never used them again lol

That was during the period when Stuart didn't have the rights to the "Spector" brand or shapes post sale to Kramer, hence the SSD logo.

Yeah I remember that he didn't get the name back until like 1999/2000. I mean the overall shape seems like they were trying to make an Alembic-esque Spector.
