Jason Newsted selling a lot of his gear.

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.

It's just an SD-4/5 circa 1990 with a longer treble side horn.

wow, looks way better without the elongated horn imo

My personal highlight is that 60 $ guitar that looks painted with the kids in a kindergarten project. That's the kind of shit parents love when it was their own little prodigy kid who painted it but not someone else's.

Sorry to say that might be a DIY job.

Different strokes for different folks!

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.

Probably was a case of that Spector getting that perfect sound they were after, without going through 12 eqs

Why did basses start incorporating built in dildos in the 90s?

The only thing I'd be particularly interested in is the double course 10 string. But NFW that will go at a price I'm willing to pay. I'm not one to care if an instrument was "artist owned" as I don't want to pay MORE for a used instrument - unless I'm damn sure it's a collector piece. Which is Latin for I don't own any collector pieces. I mean, Jason is my favorite of the various Metallica bassists, as I didn't discover them until after Cliff had passed. But I'm still not particularly drawn to any of these based on his ownership.

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

Jesus that thing is ugly. I had no idea.
