It's pretty hard to be a bass player in a band where the main rhythm guitarist has his amp controls taped to low +10, mid -10, hi +10 and plays at least a half-step lower than usual. James Hetfield himself recognised he was moving into bass territory more often than not, and that wasn't helping the overall sound, so in a bid to try and sort this out he removed the tape from the "mid" control.
