The bass played in this video (and used on the "Ride The Lightning" album) is for sale. It has a PRE-Ernie Ball Music Man Stingray maple neck in fantastic shape and frets in good condition with original Shaller Tuners plus a hipshot drop D tuner. The body is mahogany. The pickups are EMG active pickups in a P/J configuration. It also has a Zeta bridge with piezo pickup. The electronics are 18 volts with full shielding in the cavity and are similar to an Alembic Series II setup, with the sweepable Q filters, cut boost knobs and 5 pin DIN plug out, though a 1/4 jack is also there and provides 100% capability, so you don't have to have the external power supply (though saves on the batteries if you have one). I never had the power supply but people sell them on ebay from time-to-time. You can switch numerous combinations of sounds between the piezo and magnetic pickups. It's the ultimate tone machine. The range of sounds is truly amazing. Hard shell Case included. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a4F-YvL6R48&feature=related   | ||

Now I get it. You guys are referring to Metallica. Sorry for the confusion, this bass is NOT connected to Cliff Burton in any way of which I'm aware. | ||

I meant no disrespect at all! I guess there is a thunder group album called "ride the lightning" as well as metallica's . Mark is a great bass player and I'll say it here in front of everybody he's better than me. FYI I started playing bass because of Jason Newsted but over time I noticed that metallica wasn't very "musical" to me, but I have always been in love with the Alembics that Jason played. I'm not a fan of metallica anymore and haven't been for a long time but it'd be kinda cool to shake his hand and say, "thanks" someday. back to this bass... it's super cool and Mark has got Jason and Cliff beat. | ||

It was kind of a funny question; "how do you know your bass was used on your album". | ||

Just curious, where'd you get the electronics at and what company are they made by? ~Taylor | ||

The bass came to me this way. I do not know the origins of the electronics. But I have owned three Series instruments over the years, and this has the sound, only believe it or not, with perhaps a bit more flexibility because of the piezo in the bridge... | ||
