There's
Martin Mendez (Opeth)..
Uh...

The bassist of the Techmetal band The Dillinger Escape Plan.

Bruce Dickenson is metal bass.

^ XD

There is a local black metal band that the bassist uses a Fender Jazz 5 String.

I play death/grind and I am in the market for a 4-String Jazz.

jason Newstead!

Bruce Dickenson is metal ass.
Fixed. :)

Rob Trujillo

Eerie Von (ex Danzig) comes to mind and when Juan Alderete was John Alderete in Racer X, he ripped that Jazz up like nobody's business.

Martin Mendez (Opeth) uses one i think. I think its some sig model.

The original you mean..... adn I am dating myself....


Mel Schachter Grand Funk RED ALBUM!!!!

Jazz, rounds, overdriven tube amp, 8X10. Classic!


We didnt call it metal back then, but it sure as hell was.

In case you kiz think its a new sound! :) :bassist:

Not sure about the guy from fear factory, it's either a p or a j. It is a five string fender though.

Christian Olde Wolbers-5 string jazz

The old bassist for BLS-5 string jazz

Brian Richie from The Sword-4 string MIM jazz with quarter-pounds and BAII

As stated before, Jason Newsted-Sadowsky 4 & 5 strings

Geezer Butler used them when recording a lot



...adn Rob Trujillo uses signature model Fernandes and Zons, not Jazz Basses.

Martin Mendez (Opeth) uses one i think. I think its some sig model.

Not some, it`s:
Fender Marcus Miller Jazz 4

dude from dillinger...nice tone too...

His basses utilize the standard J pickup pattern. Maybe I'm the only one who notices such things. :hmm:

Oh, I know that, but I was talking actual Jazz bass/Jazz bass copies.

If you've seen the "Show your J-Bass" threads around here, you'd see where I'm coming from. :ninja:

Geddy Lee
Juan Alderete
Martin Mendez
Les Claypool
Tim Commerford

Um . . . that's all I can think of. Only Mendez and Commerford use J-basses exclusively. Geddy has his Ric, Wal, and Steinberger, Claypool has his crazy Carl Thompsons, and Alderete has any number of hacked up Fenders. What's funny is Alderete's main bass today is a Geddy Lee signature Jazz, based on Geddy Lee's main bass today.

Byron Stroud (Fear Factory/ Strapping Young Lad) plays a 5 string custom shop jazz.

Oh my GOD! I think I just fell in love . . . I've been hesitant about Jazz basses, despite them being awesome, simply because none really caught my attention look- and sound-wise . . . the Geddy came close. But man, is that thing SMOKING. I wonder if they'll make a non custom-shop version (i.e. one that I don't have to pay over $1200 for . . .). Thank you so much for that link!

I think the bassist for Nevermore uses a 5 string Jazz.

HI

Ian Hill of Judas Priest always used a early '70s burst J with black blocks and binding any time I went to their concerts in my youth
