Remember, you can change the pickup selector to affect the sharpness and depth of the tone.
Bass: low-to-medium, start on number 3. Of course, this is inconvenient midway through a song, so consider investing in an EQ effects pedal, or change your pickup selector or tone control on your guitar to allow for these changes. 
You may need to adjust the amp settings for cleaner sections of the song to make sure the tone is correct. Use the bridge pickup on your guitar to avoid the sound becoming too muffled.
EQ: if your amp has a single EQ setting, then turn this down to favour the low-end (bass) frequencies. Turn the treble up to 6 to start with to avoid the tone becoming muddy. The higher the treble is, the sharper and more defined the sound will be. Treble: this determines the high frequency sounds. A relatively low mids-setting is characteristic for Metallica, which is often described as “scooping” the amp. Mids: this refers to the mid-range frequencies. This should usually be quite high to sound like Metallica, so turn this up to 8 to start with. High bass results in a fuller and “boomy” quality to the tone. Bass: determines the low frequency sounds. Some amplifiers will just have an “EQ” control, whereas others will allow you to adjust the bass, mids and treble settings individually. The EQ settings allow you to shape the tone of your guitar.
