Does Cliff Burton always use distortion?

There are obvious ones like Orion or For Whom the Bell Tolls but my friend claims he always sprinkles it in every song. Maybe sometimes his tone sounds a little strange like the intro and outro of hit the lights or some of creeping death but I don't think he uses distortion to get that tone

I don't think Cliff uses any distortion anymore, or for that matter, a bass.
