Interesting!!!!

Lemmy was a god and all, but when I think of great bass tone he certainly doesn't come to mind.

Agree 100% - but when performing Motorhead songs, I like to nail down his tone as much as possible.

Easy...you just need Hammer, Murder One and a Rickenbacker 4004k

I did it with a Ibanez SR200, an Arion Metal Master and a Fender Rumble 40. I think its a decent effort...

It does capture the essence of Lemmy but as Gball said -- the true TONE OF LEMMY was friggin LEMMY!

Listen to the link I posted and tell me it isn't close..Better yet, how about my isolated bass track from that session???

 

[Session 5]

Link is not connecting Rob.

I can't believe I found this...Lemmy's isolated bass tracks from Ace of Spades:

And here's my isolated bass tracks from the 07/19/2018 Ace of Spades Session - Nowhere near as good as Lemmy, but a decent tribute, IMHO:

I think maybe I tend to 'sterilize' things too much....

 

[eSGEe]

Well nothing about Lemmy was "Sterile"

Agreed. I am trying to 'undo' my tendency to try and make everything as perfect as possible and just play...

 

[eSGEe]

that has been my philosophy from the start lol (it shows in my crappy playing) but it makes me happy

Noticed a pic today of Lemmy at JIMMYS VINTAGE MUSIC IN AUBURNDALE FL>.... all sorts of stars have been to Jimmies---Sir Paul was rumored to have made an appearnce but no pic---he had a child living in WInter Haven Fl.-- and had been spotted there several times--

Central Fl swamps are a hot bed of talent......and hacks like me BUWAHAHAHAHAH

I've heard our bassist get a better Lemmy tone using his Mark VIII with an overdrive and my Jazz with SD Quarter Pounds and Audere preamp with flats and a aluminium Hipshot bridge. I don't think Precision pickups do a good job of that Lemmy tone
