In the video titled "Metallica - For Whom the Bell Tolls (Live) [Cliff 'Em All]," Cliff Burton is seen playing the Aria SB-1000 Bass in black and gold. This bass was used by Burton throughout the recording of the albums "Ride the Lightning" and "Master of Puppets," and was integral to his distinctive sound, including the high-pitched notes featured in songs like "For Whom the Bell Tolls" and "Orion." The video, recorded live on August 31, 1985, at Day on the Green in Oakland, CA, is provided by Metallica on their official YouTube channel.

In this website from Aria themselves, follows a list of players that have used Aria guitars/basses over the years. This must have been from the early to mid 80s, as can be seen at the top right, between Tony Butler and Gerry Cott, a picture of Bernie Calvert is seen sporting an Aria bass, and it is mentioned that Calvert used an Aria SB-1000 bass. This bass can be seen throughout the late 70s to early 80s period when Bernie was still with the Hollies, including the music video for Harlequin. Bernie Calvert still uses this bass until today (Courtesy of Twitter) for church performances, and has been his main bass throughout his playing career after The Hollies (Courtesy of Instagram - Bernie and Terry did a reunion in '87, and Bernie sported the Aria SB-1000).

Richard: "I use a Fender Precision through a Trace Elliot AH250. I chose the Fender because they're cheap and they don't break very easily. In the studio I use an Aria SB1000 because it's got lots of sustain and, through the Trace Elliot, it gets a Fender sound. As a spare I use a Guild which is being repaired at the moment because the neck broke about half an hour before we were due to go on Whistle Test. It's purple; the only purple Guild in the country... and Whirlwind leads. That's important."
