  • It was a crash that shook the world of entertainment back in 2017, and Richard Hammond has a momento sitting in his clubhouse that constantly reminds him just how big a shunt his Rimac crash was. In this video, Richard gives us a tour of his 'shelf of things', including numerous artefacts from his Top Gear and Grand Tour escapades, the pick of the bunch being a charred, broken Rolex watch.

    for anyone curious about the bass, i did a bit of researching on it. it appears to be a custom-spec Status Shark, based on the pickguard design and the headstock logo you can more easily see in TG S20E1. i can find pictures of a 4 string model with specs almost matching this one, but i couldn't find an exact match.
