Dave Mustaine's personal studio bass for writing the bass parts for Megadeth's Super Collider and Dystopia albums, for which Megadeth won the Grammy Award for Best Metal Performance. Comes with a signed COA from Dave Mustaine and was further Signed by him and original Megadeth bassist David Ellefson back stage before Megadeth's show at the famous Wembley Arena in London. Video interview with Mustaine and him signing his bass will be provided to the buyer. There is also a photo of him playing it in the studio for the Dystopia recording sessions. There is no evidence of another Mustaine bass ever being available to the public, and it is the only Megadeth bass signed by both Mustaine and Ellefson, who had multiple acrimonious splits from Megadeth.

On writing bass parts for Megadeth albums, Mustaine told metal news outlet Blabbermouth:

"First off, the majority of the bass on the record I played," Mustaine explained. "And it's demo tracks — we didn't have all the record recorded yet. When I was in my studio with [engineer] Chris Rakestraw and I'm writing the guitar parts, I picked up the bass and plunked along with it. I mean, it wasn't terrific, but it was the parts. So when anybody came in to record the parts, whether it was Steve or Dave [Ellefson], the parts were already written and recorded."

Dave Mustaine was the last person to have played this bass, and it will make an incredible display piece for its new owner, especially with the gold signatures upon the translucent flame maple top. You will be the only person who can say you own a Megadeth bass owned by Dave Mustaine and that wrote parts for Megadeth's only Grammy winning record.
