[@lred1383]

@@CerealKillerPT Jason joined Metallica in '86, during the Master of Puppets tour right after Cliff's death. He was there for the whole writing recording process. Also, how could the album be written without him if quite a few things were written BY him? You're probably thinking of Rob, who joined them after St.Anger was already done.

Nobody ever made this joke before

[@macymorse80]

I've been playing bass for about 15 years or so and one thing that blew me away was after playing just the bass for so long my nephew talked me into getting a classical guitar. The strings are super easy to play on and the nylon won't cut into your fingers like a steel string will so you can play them longer and also the fret board is about the same width almost as a 4 string. Playing on my classical I could better come up with new riffs and solos. SO I would take what I did on the classical and apply it to my bass and it actually really helped out. You could try going that route. My La Patie' Etude was like $300 and came with a case, though you can expect to pay about that at a music store.

[@MultiWilliam9999]

Love the fu*king 3-finger gallop on "Blackened is the end!" (chorus). Well done, mate!

[@chriswostmann744]

He brought Justice to Jason. Such great bass play on "And Justice For All" and you can't hear a damn thing of it!

[@emanuel4k7]

That´s what I wanted to hear when I listen to "And Justice for all". You have finally added the fucking bass to the song.

[@JMNTLRDRX]

Now play Dyers Eve please :D

[@arthurfranklin9315]

If Jason played what I think he played, then Dyer's Eve is the hardest Metallica tune on bass. It's so fast that I rate it harder than the guitaristic bass solo in Orion and Battery but I'm not including Anaesthesia (Pulling Teeth)

[@szanurekjasny9703]

[@arthurfranklin9315]

Yep, that's about right. I'm a fingerstyle guy influenced more by Cliff but I always aim to play thrash as tight and fast as Dyer's Eve.

Thats the point, your precision is not human. Usually i play with pick myself and dont like fingerstyle that much due to some different „aggression“ in its sound, but your fingers man....wow. I really LOVE your sound

[@redgamer821]

For anyone wondering how to get this tone, a really large part of it is new strings (roundwounds, preferably steel). They have a lot of twang (if that's a word) and have a metallic sound. Besides that, I would probably boost the mids/treble, and cut the bass a bit so it doesn't muddy up the mix. I've also heard that people can get an aggressive tone like this with a Sansamp DI.
