That is love for the gear:

"Newsted, formerly of Metallica, recently suffered his injuries while trying to catch a 90-pound bass head that fell from atop his amplifier. The accident resulted in a torn anterior labrum in his left shoulder and a rotator cuff and bicep tear in the right. The combination of surgery and subsequent rehab could keep him out of the band's lineup for up to nine months."

But was the amp ok?

He has enough money to buy a new one, don't know why he bothered putting himself in danger trying to catch it.

Must have been an AMPEG SVT

Some of these LA rockers have girlfriends that weigh less than that ( or thereabouts)

Hm, yeah might not have happened if the girl would have fallen, he wouldn't have caught her :)

Could also have been a boogie bass 400+ ay?

Supernova are so bloody awful, he probably did it deliberately to get off the tour...

If it was an Ampeg, Mesa or that new Sadowsky, it's worth risking life and limb to save it.

Maybe Jason just didn't share Tommy's enthusiasm for Lucas Rossi
