I believe Ellefson was gone in the early 90's to Modulus....then Fender in the last 6 or so years.

Re: mustaine isn\'t the only sell out

Why exactly does that make him a sellout?

Re: mustaine isn\'t the only sell out

He has been with fender for some time.

he stopped playing jackson basses in mid 90's i think

Re: mustaine isn\'t the only sell out

Yeah he's been on Modulus and Fenders since Youthanasia I think [img]graemlins/scratchhead.gif[/img]

Funny how he had $$$ for drugs but not basses [img]graemlins/brow.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Re: mustaine isn\'t the only sell out

i guess i haven't kept up good enough as i didn't know he switched from jackson. i just figured he switched because of dave.

Re: mustaine isn\'t the only sell out

He switched because Jackson is FAR from the best bass manufacturer. There are a ton of well known bass companies that make way better basses than Jackson, sorry 'bout that but it's true.

Re: mustaine isn\'t the only sell out

Fender came in and screwed things up again with another fine company. That's why they left Jackson. Nothing to do with selling out.

More like Fender strikes again.

Re: mustaine isn\'t the only sell out

never played a spector,(i'm assuming you mean before kramer) but i've played some fenders, vintage and newer, and IMO in no way are they better than jackson basses. there's alot of people on this board who say jackson guitars rules but don't like the basses and i cannot understand why. personally, i wouldn't play anything else!

btw, the sellout part comes from the fact i saw them at house of blues at myrtle beach in 2001( the year posted for the pics on the site) and i don't recall david playing any fenders!

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Ellefson foresaw the buyout by Fender back in the mid-90s and so left Jackson for......Fender? oh, the way they drive Jackson endorsers away! Those bastards

Re: mustaine isn\'t the only sell out

Newc: Spector, Warwick, Alembic, Fender, Music Man, Rickenbacker... need more?

Re: mustaine isn\'t the only sell out

Actually, Dave's first bass was a Fender - which he stole from his high school.
