This is the first thing Cliff Burton ever wrote for the original Metallica Fan Club, back in the Summer of 1983. It ran in the first club newsletter - an equipment rundown printed alongside those from band mates Hetfield, Hammett, and Ulrich.
(From the K.J. Archives)
"Right now, I'm using a Randall 300 watt head into: 1 Randall 1 x 18 cab and 1 road 2 x 18 cab."
"At this time I only use 2 effects. A Morley Power Ultra Boost and an MXR Limiter."
"I play a Rickenbacker 4001 bass. The 2 stock pickups have been replaced as follows: In the bass position there's a "Gibson EB" pickup. In the treble position, there's a "Seymore Duncan Stacked Jazz" pickup. I have also had a 3rd pickup installed in the bridge. It's a "Seymore Duncan Stacked Strat." Both Duncan pickups are "Humbucking" in design so they help reduce unwanted noise."
