Jason Newsted selling off some stuff

[ilan]

Some seriously nice guitars and basses there.

[Dave W]

 Will you be buying that 4080?

[ilan]

I don't like the guitar side.

[uwe]

Weren't his basses all not loud enough on Metallica records? Buyer beware, Lars had secretly volume caps installed!

[ilan]

Just on And Justice For All. Lars wanted the bass out of the mix, and his drums sound weird. On the black album Jason was heard again.

[uwe]

Once is bad enough. And they are not prepared to learn from it as they have refused to bring it up in a remix. The Little Dane ain't sane, but reliably a pain ...

[ilan]

Bring Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen into the equasion and you'll see that Danes, on the average, have the bass mixed perfectly.

[uwe]

Lars would have found some excuse for mixing him down too.

[ilan]

Check out this Martin demo from Norm's, a (I'm assuming) lovely vintage D28 drowned by the bass to the point where it's indistinguishable from any $99 Chinese made plywood horror. Wish Lars was there

[Basvarken]

Is it me or aren't they even in the same key? I hear several bum notes over and over...

[uwe]

Hey, a bum note once in a while is the spice of life!
