Savage contracted Bell’s Palsy around 1994. This causes his facial muscles to weaken and become partially paralyzed. He has recovered, but effects of the disease are still visible, especially when he is fatigued.

Savage currently uses custom basses made by Jackson after endorsing Washburn XB920 (4-string) and XB925 (5-string) bass guitars from 1999–2009. He formerly used Hamer 4 and 5-string bass guitars for over 17 years, starting with their Gibson Explorer-inspired “Blitz” model during the High ‘n’ Dry and Pyromania albums from 1982–1985 and Hamer’s modernistic take on the Explorer shape, the “Scarab” model of which he mainly used a white model during the Hysteria recording sessions and tour (although Savage continued to use a black-colored “Blitz” downtuned C#ADG for the hit single “Pour Some Sugar on Me” which can be seen on their Live: In the Round, in Your Face live video/DVD, and a Scarab model in black with a reverse headstock was seen in the “Rocket” video and their performance at the MTV Video Music Awards in 1989) from 1985–1989. At the release of Adrenalize he used an array of Chaparral Max 5-string models in various colours including a black & white “Granite” finish, one with a variation of the Adrenalize album artwork custom painted on it, and a black- painted model from 1990–1999. Savage switched endorsements to Washburn basses in the middle of the promotion cycle for the Euphoria album in 1999, and a Natural Flame XB925 given to him by Washburn in 1999 has been his main instrument since then. However the custom painted Union Jack XB925 is his most well known bass, followed by the Saint George’s Cross XB925, with both paint schemes reproduced on his new Jackson basses in 2009. He acquired two more of the Jackson basses, one in a grey-toned Union Jack scheme and the other painted in the colors of Sheffield Wednesday with the team’s logo. He used these on the 2011 Mirrorball tour. Savage never has been a fingerstyle guitarist, relying entirely on a plectrum, or “pick”. In an interview with Bass Guitar magazine, he stated: “I’m a terrible player with my fingers and I always play with a pick. I love to have consistency within the sound no matter where you are on the fretboard. I’ve found that when I play with fingers, notes jump out and others are too muted. It would be a nightmare for the sound engineer just trying to compress the thing to make sure there’s an equal balance coming off the stage.”

After an 11-year marriage to Dora Corcoran, he married Paige Hannon.
