  • 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.

    Lemmy will always be the best bassist Iron Maiden ever had, it's a shame nobody remembers. Anyway, how about John Paul Jones from The Who next?

    Even as a bass playing guitarist I never thought he’d play a six string like that 😂 absolute revelation

    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!

    I like to think that Lemmy didn’t die. But that he was tired of how hell was being ran, so He went down there to run it himself
