Metallica<\/a><\/strong> fans better get their wallets ready, because Jason Newsted<\/em> is selling off a bunch of his old gear!<\/p>\n Newsted has teamed up with Reverb to announce his new Official Jason Newsted Reverb Shop opening July 24. The shop features special pieces like his 1992 Alembic Europa Custom 10-string bass used on Metallica<\/a><\/strong>‘s The Black Album<\/em> tour, as well as a 5-string fretless Zon bass that Newsted<\/strong> says was used to record “Until It Sleeps” \u2013 and still features the settings marking tape from the studio sessions! Of the bass, he says “This is a piece of metal lore right here. You have the song in your collection [and] that’s the bass that played it.”<\/p>\n “I’m teaming up with Reverb to sell some pieces from my collection for the very first time. The last 30 or 40 years as I’ve traveled around playing music for people, I’ve gathered some cool shit,” said Newsted<\/strong>. “I traveled the world to collect these pieces and many of these pieces have traveled the world with me. I’d like to get them into the hands of other players because I can only play so many at once, and wonderful guitars such as these should not live in cases forever\u2026they deserve to be enjoyed!”<\/p>\n The Official Jason Newsted Reverb Shop will also include:<\/p>\n Sign up for notifications regarding the store here<\/a>.<\/p>\n \n\n
