Bigwig · #1 02-13-2005, 08:07 PM

hey i was wondering what kind of tuners newsted had on his 5 string fender jazz bass he always uses nowadays..
any huge metallica fans that know his setup as much as well as he does?

Newstead plays Sadowsky Basses www.sadowsky.com, and not Fender Jazz basses, although you could be forgiven for mistaking the two!

I do believe all his Hipshot Jazz's have Hipshot Ultralites with Elephant Ear keys.

I think Nino-Brown has played one or two of Newsted's Sadowskys. He could probably give quite a bit of info on them.

I think Jason's Sadowsky were built with Hip Shot ultralight tunners.

one more question;
after looking into getting these tuners
( http://www.hipshotproducts.com/bassmachine.htm )
i am wondering for a Fender Precision, what would be the right size, 3/8" or 1/2".
thanks again!
