[edit] Vintage Equipment
Jason is known for playing an array of 1960's EKO condors. With the combination of vintage big muff and double muff pedals. The amp of choice seems to change with every record, but for live shows it's been mainly Silvertone 1485's 6x10's and Fender Concert Reverbs 4x10's.
[edit] Controversy
Jason and Jack White of The White Stripes had a fight on December 13, 2003 at the Majestic Theatre Center, in a Detriot night-club called 'The Magic Stick'. [1]. This was the second time the two had been in a physical altercation over the unresolved issues surrounding the production credit that Jim Diamond rightfully deserved on the 2001 Von Bondies album, Lack of Communication. Mr. Diamond and the rest of the von bondies both agreed that Jim Diamond did most of the production work, but Jack denied their claims and personally placed his own name on the credits of the album as sole Producer. Which led to the infamous brawl.[2] The first was one year earlier, also in Detriot. White's and Stollsteimer's Police reports on the incident contradict each other as to who started the scuffle, but in March [2004], Jack White plead guilty, admitting to his false "self-defense claims" and was charged with aggravated assault and made to pay $750, including court costs, and to attend anger management classes.[3].
