I would guess that only Metallica know more about Metallica than FC Bass. 🤩🤔👍🏾🎶

Here's a link to the Showcase Thread for one of Jason's 'Shopnight' Persuader basses. This one is a long-scale fretless, I would guess made around the same time. https://club.alembicguitars.net/index.php?topic=25621.0

Man you are a true Metallica fan aye? 

Does it show? :-)
These are my Replica's of two Newsted basses, also some JPJ action there!


Somehow I missed that fretless in the showcase section... Thanx for the link! That is one of the basses sold through the shop in Florida 


Does your case have the tape on it? IIrc all his personal basses also should have a sticker in the controls cavity with his name and catalogue number. (apparently you need a number like that when you own hundreds of basses) 

Sorry for not replying for a while.

There were some stickers / tape on the case, that's for sure. But all have been removed and I found nothing inside or outside that could indicate anything. The only thing you see is the outlining. It looks like an original case though.

Now I don't want to be a bad person but... I'm playing with the idea of selling it and buying myself a 60s Fender jazz... (dream of mine). I know, why would you.
To be honest, the bass is a beast but she's also really heavy and not good to take anywhere (I wouldn't gig with an instrument this exclusive).

If there is anyone on the forum willing to negotiate a possible purchase or has a (pre-CBS) 60s Jazz they want to trade, please contact me personally. I would prefer it to selling it on Reverb to "somebody", I'd love to find someone with actual passion for the instrument
