Yeah you have some major non-Jason Newsted related issues going on.

Yeah well my original post was about how I had tried the BDDI settings and they sounded good. The next part was just an added bonus.

I know this is an old thread, but I wanted to add a blurb about the 12 string bass thing. There was a music store in Chicago several years ago that had the original 12 string Warwick bass that was made for Jason. The store was told that the neck was too big for Jason and so he basically didn't take it from Warwick. Thus he ended up playing the much smaller necked Hamer 12. Having played the Warwick, it would be a beast for most people. A really interesting all black bass. I wonder who has that bass now?

Hey Scott the store that has that bass is Andy's music.


It was a nice bass but it was huge and very heavy.

Hey what's up buddy? Man, we need to catch up. Do you know if Andy's still has it?

Hey Scott, seriously we need to hang.

I don't remember if they ever sold it, I could find out.

I'll give them a call. I would love to check it out again if it is still around. I will be in Chicago a couple of days after Christmas for a bit. I will call you.

I can't really say much about Jason's tone during the Sadowsky years. But, his tone before that was typically from hard maple and brass. Spector(EMG) and Alembic...
