      Bass solos are a spectrum. Typically somewhere within 20hz-20khz.

      Let me try to stop another 'who's better' discussion here. Try to respect both completely different players the way they are/were for their own style, inginuity and soul instead of placing one above the other, like a simpleton. I'm not calling you a simpleton, but It's just that those discussions never end well, with all kinds of arguments that make no sense whatsoever about things like ones mother..
      They are/were both amazing players.
      Personally, I love Flea because of his outstanding techniques, aggressive grooves and rhytms, popping and slapping and all that with the stamina of five horses and also his great sense of melody and ability to switch between the 'sensitive', melodical and more aggressive bass parts. I also think he's a great guy on a personal level.
      Cliff was very clever in his playing, because of his excellent sense of melody (he was a big Bach-fan, which you can clearly hear on various occasions) and because he was able to 'walk the thin line' while remaining a very tight player in the overall mix.
      His real talent was that he always knew in advance how his playing would sound in the mix, which is very important to be able form the right foundation for a nice, big wall of sound. His playing sounded very 'mature' that way. Not a real showoff as he would always just add the right amount of extracurricular notes and never really overdid those. He was very down to earth that way and had a very 'hands on' mentality to make Metallica sound the way they did back then, which was totally bitching and innovative!
      Also love his distorted 2 channel sound with a wah every now and then. Really suited Metallica's dark, powerful sound!

      He was more than admired, he was like a brother to them. Whenever Cliff is even mentioned, you can see in James's eyes how much he misses him. So much so that its useless to describe it into words even. Cliff Burton lives forever in our hearts and memories.

Metallica has literally changed my life for the better. It's something that the 'non-fans' can never understand.

    You can See the Emotion on James face at 6:47 when Flea talks about Cliff it looks like he is really close to tears. Can only imagine the Memories going through his mind at that moment.
