Damn I wish he was still around.
We truly lost one of the best ever.

lol, I like how he answers some of the questions:

They're uh... they're uh... very fast. You know, typical kinda Metallica [stuff]. Fast. Then there's, you know, a bunch of other stuff.

Seriously though, thanks for posting that.

I didn't know his alembic was stolen. That sucks...

Q: OK. What about your equipment? What do you use for amplification?

CLIFF: I'm using Mesa Boogie amps, Mesa Boogie cabinets. I got some 4x12 cabs for them and some custom-built 115 cabs.

Q: What, to your specifications?

CLIFF: Well, they're basically a 115 stuffed inside a 412 box. So, you know, you uniform the fit with the backline. I'm playing Aria basses. Aria Black & Gold is the one I prefer.

Any ideas/opinions on that? Putting a 115 into a 412 box that is.

Cliff liked REM!
