Yesterday (January 25), Cliff Burton's father, Ray Burton (pictured above and below), took over the the Aria Guitars booth at NAMM to do the introduction of the "Aria Pro II Cliff Burton Signature Bass" and he also signed autographs for the fans of METALLICA.
This bass guitar took over a year to produce and is authorized by the Cliff Burton family and the Metallica camp. The body is the original SB shape and made of alder. The bass is loaded with an Aria MB-V passive pickup. It has a single tone and volume control with a dual sound mini-toggle switch. The bridge is solid brass with gold plated saddles. The bass will ship inside of a deluxe ostrich hardshell case and a certificate of authenticity signed by Ray Burton. Order HERE!
