Im jealous, and I dont even like Metallica.

Dude, you like live in the state it's residing in, chances are you could drive there and see it....

Cliff Burton is one of my heroes, but am I the only one who doesnt understand why seeing a bass he used is so amazing? If so, can someone please try and explain why

I'm not much of a Burton or Metallica fan- but that's the bass that I picture when I envision the old Metallica. It's not just a bass he used, it was THE Burton bass.

Metdistortion, it's as iconic as the player, one in the same if you will by association, and if you're a mega fan, it just means something more to you...

Yeah but I care way more about the music he played, not the gear he used.

different things to different people man, that's why you don't get it, obviously. No?

I probably could, but its not that important to me. As I said, Im not even a fan, but its cool that he was that close to history. Maybe if they get Dirk Lance's SSII or Flea's Muduli Ill make a trip.

but important enough to be jealous? (jus kidding around man, but still)

Thanks for sharing the pic. Glad to hear you are inspired. Now go write a song about it.

I know, I know. But I can be jealous, without having the want or need to see it. Im jealous that he got to be close to a part of rock history, not because of the bass itself.

Got it?

the neck looked pretty good though it seemed like there were like little cracks in the neck joint

 

[HOOLIGAN]

I wonder if the pickup switch is flipped intentionally to the
bridge pickup only (I'm not sure if thats how Cliff played it)-
And whoever set up the display needs to be fired for placing
those letters/lyrics directly over it. Sacrilege!

 

[Surprise Panda!]

Not a big fan on Metallica, but that's really cool!

How's the binding? Is it pushing out at the fret ends?

metdistortion - I don't feel that anyone is jealous. It's just a small part of who that person is or was. I really dig seeing Dime's Dean from Hell at NAMM. There's a small part of the soul of who the person once was contained within.

Another example would be Stevie Ray Vaughn's guitar. He didn't even play it to just "know" that it was the "One". Why? How does someone just see a guitar on a shelf and just "know"? SRV did, for one reason or another. . . .

It's completely silly but with Dime's DFH there is a sign asking people not to touch it as it is in an open display. The first time I saw it in this display there were a couple guys that touched it. I didn't even come close to feeling worthy of laying even a fingertip on it. I'm not sure why I feel this way but I guess it's because these guys, Dime, Cliff, Randy, etc.. poured time, time, and more time, sweat, blood, etc into these guitars.

I never said anyone was jealous...

Hmmm, I guess I can see why seeing Cliff's Rick is so awesome now.

Thats so Cool ! I was at the R&R hall of fame a few years ago and One of John Entwistles Buzzards was on displayed behind a railing. I reached over and wrapped my hand around the neck, got yelled at but it was sooooooooooooooooooooooooo worth it.

I want to see pics of his stomp box.

Cliff Lives on in myspace. You can still be his friend @
