Deftones recruit ex-Marilyn Manson bassist Fred Sablan

Deftones kicked off their U.S. tour last night (Thursday, April 14) in Portland, Oregon and currently occupying the recently-vacated bassist position is former Marilyn Manson bass player, Fred Sablan.

Longtime Deftones bassist Sergio Vega announced his departure from the band last month.

Whether Sablan remains a touring member or joins the group on a more permanent basis remains to be seen.
