Question Did Cliff Burton used a pitch shifter here?

Sign in to disble this ad
When I'm listening to Orion, I wonder apart from fuzz, if Cliff used a pitch shifter (with 5ths) or just an octaver at that legendary bass solo part (most people even did not recognize it was bass and not another Kirk Hammett solo). I'm talking about the part at 6:37. Here is the link, originally recorded by Cliff (RIP):

Just a little note: thanks to Guitar Hero when I've found original bass tracks (collected from the game) of some songs I was one of the most happy guys on Earth. I wish they'll put some Iron Maiden songs to next GHs (there is one, but it is a cover version, not originally played by the band). Yes 'Arry is clearly audible but I'd like to hear his bass lines alone

Isn't it just two different tracks of bass with different melodies?

Sounds like it might be an octavia-type octave up/fuzz to me. Lots of the low end is gone, which is pretty typical for that kind of fuzz.

Thanks Bassmingo for replying with a useful info just after a crappy answer(or joke). I've not seen your thread before, thanks for the tab. I'll give that second bass part to the guitarist and see how it'll sound together. Thanks again.

Cliff Burton used a Morley Wah and a Big Muff. He didn't use any other pedals. After listening to the solo, the harmony in the middle sounds like an overdub. I could be wrong.

Nah its an overdub, see Cliff's performance from 1984-1985 of For Whom The Bell Tolls to hear the pitchshifter.
