In April of that year, Mustaine publicly announced that he was disbanding Megadeth, and also that it was unknown whether he would regain the ability to play guitar.

So, the album had this really good bass tone to it. I used a Fender P bassist that I actually bought when I was doing the Risk album, a вЂ™76 Fender P bass with a maple neck.
