Cliff Burton's Alembic, hidden solo in "Orion"?

Sign in to disble this ad

" I had an Alembic for a while, which I was very happy with until it was STOLEN!!"

anyone has a picture of cliff with this bass? i cant find one



and my best question:

" There's also a little bass solo in Orion, it's right next to a little guitar solo. No one will probably be able to tell that it's bass, but it is.

Q: That's cool. Is it in the first break?

CLIFF: Nah. It's, uh, probably about two-thirds of the way into the song."


what is this solo :?:

about the picture, i cant really see if thats the alembic or if its the same aria hes playing @ picture 1, was hoping for something better, but thanx anyway


and about the solo: i now know where it is (metallica BB )

it starts at 6:35, sounds very much like guitar, but from the style i could tell its bass, but not before it was pointed out to me
isnt the solo transcribed in bass guitar just the basic interlude?

thanx for replying

What would Bob Rock know? Besides, it doesnt sound like he's using a pick AT ALL

Wow! Also, I never realized the intro to Damage, Inc. was all multi-tracked bass. I always thought that was synth! Awesome; even more respect for my first influence on bass guitar!

Yeah, that bass solo is pretty hidden. I remeber I went for years (even after picking up the bass) clueless it was a bass solo. I just assumed it was one of Kirk Hammets ultra melodic, well composed, soulful yet still metal guitar solos. When I found out it was bass, I nearly **** myself. My respect for Cliff Burton +25 points.
