Modern Cliff Burton Tone Test / Replication - Metallica Bass Guitar

Had some disposable income so have decided to chase some of the old Cliff Burton tones with more or less modern equipment bar a few items (namely the CS-2 and the bass guitar itself)
Entire signal chain from fingers to monitor speakers are listed below:
- Fernandes BXB-55 Bass Guitar, 4 Strings - Passive Dog Fighter pickups
- Rotosound Swing 66 30-95 Bass Strings
- BOSS Compression Sustainer CS-2 - 9v Zinc Carbon Battery - Level 5, Attack 7, Sustain 5
- Morley Power Fuzz Wah Classic PFW2 - 9v Zinc Carbon Battery - Wah Level 5, Intensity 7, Fuzz Level 8
- Ibanez TS-9 Tube Screamer - 9v Zinc Carbon Battery - Drive 8, Tone 7, Level 7
- Morley Buffer Boost - 9v Zinc Carbon Battery - Level 7
- Radial Pro 48 Active Direct Box with Ground Lift and Pad enabled
- Scarlett 2i4 interface, no pad, instrument level
- Helix Native with the following stereo chain played simultaneously to mimic his live dual Mesa 180 setup
Channel 1: Host - D-400 Channel 2 Preamp - 6x10 Mesa Powerhouse Cab - 10 Band EQ - Host
Channel 2: Host - D-400 Channel 1 Preamp - 6x10 Mesa Powerhouse Cab - 10 Band EQ - Host
Settings for Helix Native are all visible in the video
Have an Ibanez HD1500 on the way so I'll have an update video once I get that dialled in to chase the Lyceum tone

Hey I didn't realize that was you doing those screen graphics. I've been looking at your work for a while now, very cool.

Cheers dude

Sick !!!

[@argiebass]

Sounds good but it sounds more like Jason's tone

[@L.A.U.G.H.S]

What, how?

[@cal242]

Jason liked cliff and i guess that if he joined metallica he wanted to sound a bit like cliff

[@luukderuijter1332]

disagree

[@argiebass]

@@luukderuijter1332 why

[@luukderuijter1332]

@@argiebass no you first. You made a claim. I think it sounds rather close to cliff's tone, whereas Jason's tone was way different

Hey I’ve been playing bass for about 2-3 years and I’ve been wanting to get more serious so I was wondering what on earth is this stuff your using lol

[@dropbearattack6152]

Hey so these guitar pedals are what I’m using to change the sounds.
The order goes from right to left
First is the Boss CS-2 compression sustainer
Next is the Morley Power Fuzz Wah Classic (PFW-2) which is the wah with fuzz circuit inbuilt
Next the Ibanez TS-9 Tube Screamer which is an overdrive pedal
Finally the buffer boost is just a general volume boost, but it also slightly darkens the tone as well

@@dropbearattack6152what is the program your using and what is it for

[@xgassgt4154]

would this also be great without the online program? just compressor pfw ts9 and buffer? let me know!

@@xgassgt4154 Helix Native is only emulating the amp/cab sim. Depending on your amp/cab setup, it could work!
