Lemmy Kilmister: The Man, The Myth, The Bass Rig 🚬🥃

When you think of the Lemmy bass rig, the next words that come to mind should be Marshall amplifiers and Rickenbacker basses. While you’re not wrong, have you ever stopped and wondered about his other basses?! There's more to this legend than meets the eye and today we uncover the secrets!
We get down into the weeds and look at pickups, string choices and effects.

I've had SO much fun researching and writing this video. I hope it was worth the wait. Lemmy has so many stories in his legendary career but this is my favourite. ""I knocked [on Motörhead's] bus. No answer. So I open the fuckin' door and there's Lemmy in a complete full-in Gestapo uniform spanking a naked chick with a riding crop. She was loving it. So was he. I apologized and closed the door."

Impressive video, finally someone who thinks of Lemmy as a bass player who is worth checking out and not 'only' as some hard drinking rock star. It's sure worth checking into Lemmys gear and tone, as he was an awesome and very unique bass player. His right hand phrasing is absolutely undoable(!), as you will find out listening to his bass intros to songs like "Back At The Funny Farm", "Queen Of The Damned", "Evil Eye", obviously "Ace Of Spades", "Iron Fist", "Orgasmatron" and the list goes on. Listen to cover bands playing those bass intros. Try to play it yourself. Yeah, it's mostly only two notes in the left hand, but does it sound the same? No. It's not as good. Why? Cause he was a rhythmic genius! AND he had a killer sound, which his equipment, that he customized, helped him to achieve. So, thanks for this video. Very good research!

@WhichBass 5 жыл бұрын

Thank you Alex. I completely agree with you. Some of the comments here (trolls no doubt) see Lemmy as a drug addict. Or as you've said just an old rocker. They're clearly missing the bigger picture Lemmy had on Rock music. And of course. A brilliant lyricist to boot.

The 4004LK was only supposed to have the carvings around the rim of the bass, but due to a miscommunication between him and Rickenbacker, it was done on the tops of the basses. Regardless, he gave his approval on the project. I found this out from a "Dear Guitar Hero" article, in which he answered my question on what his design project was like on the signature model.

@gravl1 5 жыл бұрын

Most interesting, and well done. To clarify your speculation, and doubt, regarding the 4003 being a refinished 4001; it is not. The early 4003’s are distinguishable by the two-piece pickguard, identifiable in the photo by the “three-screw” cluster where the neck portion of the pickguard meets the knob portion. All early 4003’s have this layout, as Rickenbacker experimented with moving the truss rod adjustment from the headstock to the body. They abandoned this and moved it back to the headstock a couple years later. With that in mind, the maple bass pictured is DEFINITELY a 4003, and the white one is DEFINITELY a 4001.

One tiny detail to note on the 4004LK, Lem’s was different to the production signature models. The one Lemmy played has the original bridge pickup housing & string guard in gold, but didn’t have any pickup underneath it. There purely for the feel of playing over the pickup guard for him. I got told this by his tech sometime in 2008. Tiny bit of info but worth mentioning!

When I was young I trained as a musical instrument repairer - was crap at it but a couple of friends made successful careers and still doing it now. One fella worked in the spray shop for Chandlers guitars which I think were in Isleworth at the time. Popped in to see him and one of Lem’s Ricks was sitting there awaiting a good service, can’t remember but think it was the ‘Born to loose - out to lunch’ bass. It was so knackered - battered, strings were so high off the finger board. Mate said they just did it up, it would go out on tour and come back again like that.

I love watching people that look and sound so different than I expect or can imagine thats what makes life so beautiful. So many different ingredients to make the same things. Passion, obsession, expression and information. Shine on you crazy diamond! Sorry im a bit pissy pissy tonight!

When I think of Lemmy the next words on my mind is "Is God" Ya heretic.

Oh my Cliff Burton I didn't know that Lemmy played such a ugly looking guitar. I mean it literally looks like vomit on moldy cheese
