I think tha bass was a custom alembic with a J P J pick up combo.

[beyondhairy]

oh, no it had 3 humbuckers

when hes doing his solo thing right before "throug the never" i believe, u can see a lot of close ups

[BassGod]

Yeah that's an Alembic. I think it was one of the few black ones they made.

yea, iv been watching it all week lol great video

i love it because James is actually singing on key and in tune, i hate how he singings a lot of the older slower songs that need him to carry a note without screaming it

i also believe is an ALEMBIC

Alembic but on 2 Humbuckers. The middle unit is a wood thumbrest that looks like a HB PU, IIRC.

Anybody remember the bass Jason was playing before his alembic?
I think it was a torton or something like that. We used to see adds in bass player.
The spelling is probably wrong though because I can't find anything on the web.

OMMY LEE Is Looking For Next MARILYN MANSON To Front SUPERNOVA

World Entertainment News Network is reporting that MÖTLEY CRÜE drummer Tommy Lee is looking for the next Marilyn Manson to front his new supergroup SUPERNOVA.

Lee has teamed up with former GUNS N' ROSES star Gilby Clarke and ex-METALLICA bassist Jason Newsted, and the trio are now seeking out an unknown singer on the second season of TV reality show "Rock Star".

Producers of the show have selected the finalists for the series from more than 16,000 hopefuls and Lee knows exactly what he's looking for in a frontman.

He explains, "I want someone who has a lot of style and a lot of flavor.

"A good singer should also be ****ing dangerous. I like not really knowing whether or not the guy is doing to make it through the show.

"Like Marilyn Manson — you don't know what that guy is going to do."

I'm pretty sure it's one of those hum-cancelling dummy coils...
