Josh Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 [quote name='Happy Jack' post='647486' date='Nov 6 2009, 06:15 PM']Who?[/quote] Metallica's first bassist. But as it says in the description, it's his Post-Metallica bass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wateroftyne Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 Hmm... maybe he should have concentrated more on the description of the bass, rather than himself..? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarky Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 I might have bid for it if it was the 'beer incident bass' Explanation from Wikipedia: Ron McGovney was reportedly often bullied by lead guitarist Dave Mustaine, who poured beer on his bass contributing to an electric shock which McGovney described as "causing him to fly across the room". Clarky addendum: of course not long after Mustaine was ejected from Metallica because of his behaviour and subsequently formed Megadeth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Jack Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 As you've probably noticed, my knowledge and understanding of Heavy Metal goes all the way down to zero and, indeed, clean out the other side. Talk to me about HM and you end up knowing [i]less [/i]than when you started. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most Metallica fan's are convinced Cliff Burton was the first bassist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TDM Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 If I remember correctly he also sold off loads of his Metallica-era stuff a few years back, including a bass he actually used with them and some demo tapes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
