I got the perfect guitar pick to go with my Elan custom order. It is from the 1988 tour and I just found it on Ebay.

Wow, do you Newsted's amps and effects also?

Cool pick! I've got one with a snake on it somewhere from '91 (Monsters of rock, plenty of Alembic action onstage then)
That was the first huge stadium concert I've been to, xtremely cool :-)

I use a sort of Cliff Burton amps setup (cliff used the D-180 and the old style cabs, I have the Bass 400 + Strategy 400 and Diesel cabs)
For effects I have most of the stuff both used: Morley PWF, PWB, E-H Big Muff, Little big Muff, Tech21 XXL and I use the Art Nightbass + Zoom 505 (!) for the other effects (chorus, Flanger, octaver, delay etc.)
For pics, check my site: www.fcbass.com

PWF + Big Muff = instant Cliff sound, with the XXL I can get pretty close to Jason's sound.
The PWB is backup and I don't think Cliff and Jason ever used one of those (sounds less deep)

I'm still eager for input on the subject of this topic, anyone any ideas?

I heard Newsted likes the Ampeg SVT4 which I cant stand personally. I have a SVT2 and all my pics of his live rig have a SVT2 and no 4s.

I am also into Mike Inez and Justin Chancellor's bass sound so my rig consits of a little of each ones amps. Mike Inez always used a SVT2.

Taylor I missed your post earlier but retail on a spec correct Nested Elan is around 10k I cant post dealer pricing since I know most companies have a policy against that.

Also I spec's some Nested Europa Series II Alembics and they start the retail around 16k and go up from there.

I use an Ampeg SVT-1540 cabinet and a Hartke 3500 Mosfet head, I really want an Ampeg SVT-3 pro head, maybe in a view years ;-)

Hi Nuno,

Unfortunately the headliner bass was sold.
I bought several basses at the shop. Nice shop !
But I don't know about international shipping.
