    Amazing research has gone into this, well done. Surely Trujillo himself is losing track of the sheer number of instruments at this point? On the opposite end of the spectrum I do appreciate when rich and highly celebrated artists still decide to stick to one or very few instruments as Keith Williams described in one of his videos - you form more of a bond with the instrument. Each to their own though, and what works for one doesn't necessarily work for another.

    Once again a terrific video. Lots of time invested in doing all the research I'm sure. I've owned two Zon Sonus's. Their claim to fame (like Modulus, Status) is that the necks are all composite/graphite. So I was surprised when Zon came out with the RT signature but with a wooden neck. Both versions were like that (there was the RT made in California and then the Korean import version). Up until that point all of Joe Zon's basses had the composite necks, so it appears that to accommodate Rob, he produced a Sonus with a wooden neck.

    I saw Metallica live on the World Magnetic tour and Rob's bass tone was amazing. Always curious what he uses to achieve it besides playing the way he plays.
    I think you have outdone yourself on this video. The amount of gear (especially the number of basses) Rob is using since joining Metallica is crazy and to research all of it is even more crazy. Thank you for satisfying our gear head needs.

    Great job! As a Long time fan of Robert and having researched a lot over the years I can say you’ve really done your homework. Very accurate video.
    The 10-string bass is an MTD. There is a photo on the internet of him using it on Death Magnetic. Also in an old interview he mentions he was in talks with Michael Tobias about building one.

    Awesome work as usual Alfie!!! Still got me hooked (and becoming quite the gear nerd myself). I have noticed on Robs Warwick's that he does not have the two piece Warwick bridge on his basses, opting for more of a Leo Quan Bad Ass/Hipshot Kick Ass style. As an up and coming gear snob (just kidding, it dosent matter what you play, all that matters is that you play) I do find this interesting.
    And, as is now becoming customary I've gotta push for that dUg Pinnick gear review... One thing I do remember reading about dUg and his gear... when he signed with Schector he had his original Baron fitted with a very specific P pickup made by Seymore Duncan. Again, the gear nerd in me finds it interesting that the godfather of modern rock and metal tone is not running EMG's.

    • @WhichBass
      @WhichBass  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Haha glad you enjoyed the video Scott! That's great to hear. That's really interesting about dUg, you're right about the EMG thing. Everyone leans that way so it's really fascinating to see someone pull away from that. I'll see what I can do! I'm looking for someone new now, good call!

First time insane him live was Ozzfest 1996 with Slayer , Danzig , Sepultura ( with Max and Igor ) , Biohazard , Fear Factory . Inwas 15 and not even a bassist then . Still thought he was incredible . Now he plays for the biggest Rock band ( Former Heavy Metal and Thrash Metal ) in the world ! Not surprised he's kept that gig 19 years.

    Those ESP custom basses are "Rumble" models. The old ESP import website had them on there and stock models had an EMG J set with ESP's "Cinnamon" control. I had to hunt through the Wayback Machine archive to find out about it, because the Facebook admin didn't know what the model was called. The green relic Rumble was in the Guitar Hero: Metallica video game and that was the first time I had seen that model.

    So he plays Bass from different brands most of the time using active jazz-bass single coils. brands like tobias, fernandes, yamaha, warwick and so on. sometimes he uses p-basses (most of the time nashville)...and hardly ever an acoustic bass from warwick. for cliffs memorial he played an aria pro 2 bass to honor him. very good video, but I guess with a "table" it would have been easier to understand and had more structure. But you are following the chorological order. its also okay. But you have a longer video at the end.

    I (personally) think Metallica has gone too far when it comes to experimenting with different gear. The best sounds they've recorded were in a time when the budget was tight and the high-end pieces of gear were more few and far between. I'd prefer if they took the "AC/DC-approach" instead, setting up some tried-and-true workhorse pieces of gear (Marshall stacks, SVTs, vintage explorers, Vs, Les Pauls, Fender and Rick basses)in a circle and just hammered away trough the songs live and just putting the vocals, solos, overdubs, etc on top afterwards. This'd get a rawer, more energetic and aggressive sound and more live-performances out of the guys. They still got it, but they've gotten too lazy (or comfortable) to do stuff properly
