OKAY for people who are sayin "Ooo Wtf , cliff didn't use a pick" Well , this guy is not cliff :p He did an awesome cover The bass sound setting was exactly like the original one so it's okay
+1 Kaztor says who? The logic you are applying is entirely arbitrary. He still sounds great. And if Cliff were alive to see this, I'm sure he'd be flattered by the tribute and happy that someone cared enough to buy his signature bass.
Ever since is seen that bass in a video of Metallica performing 'for whom the bell tolls' live in 'day on the green 1985' I have been in love with that bass! Everything from its simplistic headstock design, to its elegant curves on the body. It is so much more than just a bass, it's a work of art....
I totally agree; I’d love to get this bass if I could; who cares if it would be my starter instrument; I’d ABSOLUTELY treasure this amazing beast of a bass!! 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻⚡️⚡️
It's ridiculous how people stereotype bass players who play with fingers as "Real Bass Players" and bass players who play with picks as "Fake Bass Players". What the hell is wrong with people these days.
Utter bullshit...Rex Brown, Dave Ellefson and Chris Squire are premium examples of excellent bass players who use pick (too bad CS passed away, nothing can beat a vintage Rickenbacker with cranked treble and mids played with a plectrum)
Loving this video, love the cleaner tone your getting with the pick. It's all subjective, i use pick and fingers depending on the song. What you have shown is Orion sounds great with a pick! thanks for the upload!
I don't mind the pick usage, plenty of great bassists use picks, but cliff had got his tone from smacking the strings against the pickup with his fingers (the "chime" technique) which gave him a certain tone that he got from this specific bass guitar ( especially in Orion and Master of Puppets). You simply can't get that tone out of a pick, which is my only problem with this video showcasing the tone.
John Francis yes plenty of player's use pick I do to a lot some tones and I strumming my bass like lemmi killmister like strumming a gutairs but dammit man if you are going to do this play like cliff man who do you think you are
@@tylerbrah4676 The closest thing to slapping the bass was smacking the strings. In For Whom The Bell Tolls, the smacks some chords. You can see it live, he also smack the e string in some parts of Ride The Lightning. Like the intro and near the end.
Cliff was and is an amazing bass player. He asked his Father Ray Burton if he would support him while he went off to college to learn more so he could play in a band and Ray bless his soul said yes,now how many father's you know would do that? REST IN PEACE CLIFF & RAY BURTON🖤
J.J. There's a very distinct difference in tone between finger picking and using an actual pick. Just listen to the bass master tracks of cliff and compare them to the bass master tracks of Jason.
this is a quote from cliff burton when asked why he was listening to southern rock and he plays metal he said u dont always have to play a million miles an hour GOOD SHIT IS GOOD SHIT so it doesnt matter if u use a pick or your fingers u play how u feel good playin
His playing was tighter and more accurate to cliffs part than most covers, the pick was the only difference and it didn't take away from the song. I'll take this guy over most other players any day.
Keep crying about finger and plectrum techniques and how you are supposed to play this and that silly kids. Great medley mate and fantastic sound from this sweet baby.
The real bass players in this comment section are just commenting on the tone of the bass or whether he you know missed a note or something. People that are arguing about pick or no pick and getting all triggered about that probably can't play that well and need to have that argument to sound like they know music. Instead of just congratulating someone on pretty good cover of a Clif Burton riff.. people that are secure in they're playing style and secure and their ability.. not worried about the pick or fingers I just wanted to hear the tone how good it was..
playing it the jason way, which imo makes it more of an evil sound so i prefer it, but when ill play it ill chuck in a few burton notes to make it sound a little more impressive
Actually he doesn’t because when you listen to the studio version of it Cliff does “19-18-17-16” but in the live he does “19-18-17-16 then 19 pull of 16 “
I was going to mention the pick but it appears everyone else beat me to it lmao. Great medley though, you nailed it and it's always great to some classic riffs!
I see people in this comment saying "people are gonna get triggered over him using a pick" yet I haven't even seen a comment getting mad at the dude using a pick lol.
They still played Orion live. There are people who have stated online who saw metallica live in 93' at one specific concert where Jason did play Anesthesia. Back then not all concerts were recorded
I would use a pick as well just to piss off you nerds. I'm willing to bet most of those complaining about the pick aren't in bands, play in their parents basement out of a 15 watt combo amp and can't play in-time to a simple mid-tempo riff.
It's funny that he plays seek and destroy (kill em all) and from whom the bells tolls (Ride the lighting). these albums were recorded with a Rickenbacker bass, Cliff started to use Aria pro in the recording studio on Master of puppets album.
yeah I was gonna say seeing cliffs signature bass played with a pick.....I never play bass with a pick personally. I also play guitar and I actually play finger style a lot unless playing stuff that requires a lot of picking. for me finger style is more natural...
honestly idc that he used a pick because it sounds like the rig only if cliff used a pick i can without doubt imagine that no pick it would sound exactly like it because its the exact bass only fine tuned to cliffs liking
I've been playing bass for years now, and one thing I learned is that there are certain advantages from using a pic and certain advantages from using your fingers ... I will say this though, I use a pic, because you get a lot more volume on stage... Using your fingers makes your playing sound a bit muted., And I personally don't care for that sound, I like a real punchy clean tone.. using your fingers sometimes your notes sound muddy... But I will say when we play Blues songs.. I use my fingers because I don't want to roll modern sound when I'm playing Blues, so using your fingers helps get more of a stand up bass style sound..
Although i do agree that fingers are better for volume you can still achieve similar results by adjusting you plucking technique having a technique similar to steve harris aggressively hitting the strings downwards although this style tends to skin you fingertips the first few times
People bitching about the pick probably can’t even play the lines in the first place. I play with a pick and the only time someone got on me about it I handed them my bass and told them to play it better. No response
People bitching about the pick are all entry level Metallica fans. Its okay to do either of the 2, this still sounds more like cliff then 90% of the horrible fingerstyle covers on RUclips.
Not triggered over him using a pick. However, he should have used his fingers, too. It's a bass demo, you should explore ALL sounds when demoing a bass.
People really shouldn’t get defensive about using the pick on a cliff bass Yes, cliff was incredible with just his hands but music should be enjoyed by everyone both hand and pick alike
Great cover, sounds good but your missing the pull off in the intro to bells and yes srry, should be played with your fingers as slayer should be played with a pic. Still good tho

Murgins Because it's a cliff burton bass video man
What a shame using pick with HIS bass guitar.
Anton Helgesson i will say even though he used a pick he played it flawlessly
Anton Helgesson u know i learnt the 2 finger triplet just by playing from 11 to 20 years old self taught
Simstrag it's a reproduction of cliffs bass, not cliffs actual bass
Everyone knows real bassists only play with a spoon. Duh
A spoon? Bitch please real bassist only play with knives.

Rodolfo Fort nah real bassists only play with attack helicopters
I play with fingers🤷♂️

He did an awesome cover
The bass sound setting was exactly like the original one so it's okay
ruclips.net/video/1AuKY-ddDV4/видео.html
woulda been better without a pick wtf
No, it would have just been a different articulation. Playing with fingers on electric (especially in metal) is not inherently better.
Sgt. Schlachten but when you’re playing on a signature bass, you should use the artists style.
+1 Kaztor says who? The logic you are applying is entirely arbitrary. He still sounds great. And if Cliff were alive to see this, I'm sure he'd be flattered by the tribute and happy that someone cared enough to buy his signature bass.
Andriy Vasylenko does the best Cliff Burton tribute (but thats only My opinnion)
Цветомир Вълев well that's true
Agreed
Цветомир Вълев no this isn't a tribute this is a test of a tribute instrument
Цветомир Вълев completely agree
Absolutely! Give this bass to him 🤟🏽
The way I keep coming back to this video, even years after it's release just speaks volumes about how good this guy's sound and playing actually is.

Dont worry it's just 15 year olds who have never played outside of their bedroom who think this

Let's just use a pick for a Cliff Burton medley. That'll turn out alright.
InBassWeTrust it sounded just fine I play bass with fingers but I don't care if people play with a pick hell Lemmy used a pick
How can you be sure Cliff never used a pick? There's plenty of pictures of him holding one plus there's no footage of the recordings.

Grant Jarnagin lol bass guitars not invented to play with fingers

no but his sound comes from guitar pedals and fingerstyle

Great playing , pick sounds great too
this is proof that Jason could play Orion live. I don't know why they didn't play it full back then
I can't play the solo with fingers. With a pick I think it would be literally impossible :D
Because it's Cliff's song
@@Ilshatey then why does Rob play My Friend Of Misery?

oh yeah... how you get dat sound?
In my case, I’d have no choice BUT to use a pick; years of nail-picking destroyed my fingernails, and I don’t think they’ll ever grow back.
People bitching about the pick are all entry level Metallica fans. Its okay to do either of the 2, this still sounds more like cliff then 90% of the horrible fingerstyle covers on RUclips.
I like how he switches from proper picking technic to Jason's...WAY!😄
Great Demo ❤.
What a beautiful bass
Not the cliff burton tribute bass it's just the standard sa cb bass which cheaper than the tribute bass
The aria wasn't used for Ride or Kill em all but this shows how maleable the tone is and the crazy sounds you can get out of it
So...the bass on RTL was the Spoiler??!
i'd bet that the 64 person who disliked the vid is triggered by you usong the pick
I still liked
I wish I could get this bass, but is so hard to find on my country.... :c

Is he supposed to be Jason Newsted with that pick?
What's the normal price on it? (Talking about USD)
shit, last time i looked, they can be around 1,000-2,000 dollars
Xavier Sánchez I heard one of these new will cost you about 6 grand
Well... I think that the Ibanez SR300 is enough. :')
Xavier Armendáriz $4000
Bout tree fitty
Man all I see are people talking about the usage of a pick. I don't mind because Cliff himself would pull out a pick every now and then

You skipped a note (that repeats) on For Whom The Bell Tolls.

How can a man, in clear conscience, play a Cliff Burton bass and do a Cliff burton tribute; USING A PICK!
The same way Jason Newsted did, when he played Cliff's bass and amp trying out for the band, and when he would play parts of Orion live.
