  • you lost me when i saw the dickies shirt.....

  • lemmy would be offended

  • lolno.

  • To get a Lemmy tone, cut the low end and the high end on the EQ, and put the Midrange on 11.

  • How can u have a Fender Jazz and still fuck up on tone?

  • chañar!!!!!!

  • what are you doing to my favourite bass

  • KIDDO... That s not even close Motörhead bass sound...

  • it's not loud enough!!! You wanna sound like Lemmy, make your neighbours 4 counties away hear that shit

  • Cheers!! Mr T, huh?! I'll have to buy a Tank, and tell 'em all to "man up"... heheh

  • @MrTulip65:  Back at you, brother!!

  • wtf lol

  • it has a similar sound because Fender introduced the Jazz Bass to rival the Ric. close but no cigar.

  • A Friend of mine ownes a Rickenbacker. He did't even know it was one. Damnit why dont i have the money to buy that thing? Well good thing he doesnt want to sell it anymore.

  • @TheBasskidd You speak english, but write spanish? LOL.

    I speak in Hungarian, translate!

    ¡Hablo en húngaro, lo traduzco!

  • Te hülye pöcs, ennek semmi köze nincs Lemmy soundjához. Használd a Fendered másra.

  • All these "look at me wielding my HUGE BASS GUITAR" uploads are becoming a little tiresome know what I mean?

    Its always blokes and its so "I'll show you mine if you'll show me yours" For fucks sake just practice hard (very hard in some of the cases) and get a band together instead of jerking off on Youtube!!

  • @MrTulip65: THANK YOU, Mr. T. It's annoying. I think there's actually more bass vids than guitarists' on here. Get out of the bedroom,  join a band and post some videos of a live performance on YouTube, please.

  • Comment removed

  • You don't sound a thing like Lemmy. You would need a Rickenbacher, and a tube stack. Fender + pick has it's own tone ... but you just wasted 4 minutes of my time. Practise, do some research and spend money to get what he has and then post a new vid. Cheers.

  • Only way getting the Lemmys sound is owning the Rickenbastard, and only Lemmy can have it.

  • Hey mate....how did u get that metal sound on your bass....?

  • it doesnt look like it at all.

    You need to buy rick x tubes if you want it.

  • a Ric has a very different sound than a jazz bass.

  • @RattlerX5150 Agreed, besides which if anyone actually managed to make a Jazz sound like a Rick then Rickenfackers lawyers would no doubt rub their hands with glee & start legal proceedings immediately...not that I'd say no to a new 4003 if it was given to me.... :o)

  • @taylloraid aye your probably right hes just over excited with the effects,who knows he could be a guitar hero one day!! rock on

  • calm down, abit with the effects and learn how to play-rocknroll brother

  • Doesn't sound like Lemmy, but it does sound pretty heavy. A little too overdriven, but a nice fuzzy tone still. Lemmy got his trademark sound running his bass straight into Marshall GUITAR amplifiers. You can't properly replicate it without spending a LOT of money.

  • well, aren't you clever!? Just the kind of modest person that spreads light wherever he goes! Besides, 'GERIATRIC'!? (I can spell better than that!)) He's a kid, isn't he?

  • All i do is plug my bass into my guitar amp

  • @GoatMT that could posibly blow a fuse in your amp it does for mine everytime i plug my bass in to my marshall amp

  • @GoatMT A bit of wah doesn't hurt now and then...

    Just ask Geezer!

  • We have the same bass. Geddy Lee eh

  • Yer man Deltic21 has the right of it-only way to feel the noise is when its good and loud....the old red Rick with the T-bird front pick up,the 4x15 cabs (I used to have one -what a beast......) and most of all-the devils bargain between Lemmy and Jim Marshall-..THAT set of Marshall heads.....

    Spent 30 years trying to perfect that sound (and playing style)-still trying.....

  • i must say that wasn't a stupendous sound, but you play well

  • aw come on.. you need a 73 rickenbacker, a 68 marshal valve top (murder one) with massive cabs from the same era.... then ya can post ya motorhead sound on here... thats just cass with a poor effects box on it

  • jazz? how cute ;)

  • Okay, first thing, get some decent sound. Second, dont play a Geddy with a pick, its just not real! I play with a pick at times, but never with my Geddy, thats because Geddy never plays with one, im just so dissapointed right now......

  • So a signature guitar should be played the same way. You can't play a geddy with a pick because Geddy doesn't do that.. Music is all about creating YOUR sound, if he likes to play it like that so be it.

    I don't mean to diss you, it's just ridiculous.

    And ow yeah, his sound sucks @SS!!

  • good basses are wasted on some people

  • sounds nothing aven close to lemms bass-why would you aven think that?just because its got a bit of distortion on,it takes alot more than that to sound like the master of the bass

  • XDDDD Youre right  i play bass to and i dont have rickenbacker or marshall but i love to play the songs but i dont say that i sound like God

  • @motormadhead13 dude,lemmy sucks at bass :D

  • @motormadhead13 You are a complete retard, you can't even write correctly, "Lemms"?? who is "Lemms"? Is "Lemms" some German lover who touches you periodically?

    LEMMY LAUGHS AT YOU! you "cuntard"

  • @Oliveirex1 Real mature there, Oliver.

  • Geddy Lee jazz??

  • he doesnt deserve a replica of Ged's jazz playing this stupid shit. you cant even hear it through the distortion

  • the best bassists can play wih both ;)

  • I read that Lemmy turns all the volume and tone knobs on his bass up to full and bass and treble on the amp down to 0 while the mid is at full. And of course the volume is at 11;)

  • i got his tone on my crappy ld15 all you need is your tone on 6 on the bass, and on your amp all your mids at 3 o'clock and bass and treble on 12 o'clock, and your drive on 3 o'clock, trust me its almost bullseye especially with that crappy amp

  • Not bad at all. Keep rockin bro. I don't know why everyone is jumping your shit. They're jealous I guess.

  • or with an effects pedal, possibly an overdrive, its not heavy enough to be a distortion 1

  • ?????????????

  • Dude,you must be joking,right? this is nowhere...nowhere near lemmy's bass sound. I don't know what silly effect you are using (which is VERY obvious),but it is horrible. I'm not even convinced that the bass you have in your hands is even a Fender. Not even a "nice try" outta me on this one :>( Go read Lemmy's book..."White Line Fever".

  • It's a Fender Geddy Lee Jazz..

    But this guys sound is terrible, it sounds like a guitar

  • That's what it's supposed to sound like.. fool.

  • No it's not...fool.

    If Lemmy wanted his bass to sound like a guitar...he'd play a guitar.

  • Actually that is how Lemmy has his bass like coause if you listen to Motorhead songs you can't hear any deep bass because he has like a guitar something liek an Old War Bomber.

  • Lemmy uses natural distirtion from the speakers,piped back through the pas system...nothing more. True,he doesnt have that traditional bass bottom end,but no crazy effects. The above video is nothing...NOTHING that sounds anywhere close to lemmy's rig. Ive been front row,9 times last year alone. i can tell.

  • ...fair enough...

  • Noob

  • Thats what the lemmy tone is supposed to sound like. He likes the distortion. He wants his bass to sound like the engine drone of old WWII bombers.. Have you guys ever read any background knowledge of the band?

  • If I insisted, the only way to make a Lemmy sound is to use a Rickenbacker bass plugged on a Marshall amp.

  • No substitute for a Rick

  • WSL french company makes a nice Ricken clone, wich is fare more affordable than a real Ricken (wich needs 1 ou 2 years to be delivered in France !)

  • didnt hear ny of tht

  • your right almost there love that Geddy I got a jazz too. There bad ass sounding basses are they not

  • meh, not too impressed with the geddy's. i've found that the american p's and j's all sound FAR superior, along with the jaguar. and that's only the fender lineup

  • its the whole thing feel mostly is what im talking about i just love the big body and the small necks of the jazzes

  • that's more like it; in case you couldn't tell from my last comment, i LOVE fenders; (own a couple myself), but i really am just not a fan of the geddy signiture

  • Deltic, you're an idiot! You seriously think Jazz basses are just for jazz? How about John Paul Jones, Geddy Lee, Les Claypool, Tim Commerford, Duff McKagan, and Klaus Fluoride? I love Rickys too, but stop being such an elitist asshole.

  • f**ker'' bass might as well get a real one like mine a'' bc rich mockingbird 1984 nj neckthrough '' with an active pick up use a mxr' over drive and grind your balls off !!!!! aaaaaaagggghhhhhhh!!!!!!

  • So...A B.C. Rich Mockingbird is a real bass? You suck! Them things are noithing more than a snow shovel or a hood prop. J-U-N-K for a bass. Warwick...TOP SHELF!

  • that is geddy lee signature bass no?? cool..

  • fuuuuuuuuuuuck

    how did you make that sound

    pleeeeeaseee answer

    because i love motorhead and also play bass

    tell me what to do

  • Hey dude,

    i really can tell how to do it.

    U know i bought the orginal bass-stack of lemmy... well but thats to expensive ^^ (5000€), but what u can du is to turn the bass and treble off, and the midrange up all the way,

    If u have any questions else ask me ;)

  • hi man :)

    what it means "midrage up all the way"?i'm italian sorry explain me :)

  • Midrange adjustment on the bass amplifier.

  • gantzmetallica: No, only elitist morons claim the only 'true' bassists use fingers. Matter of fact, you seem to prefer that style so much, come on over and finger my asshole? You stupid cunt.

  • howd you get this sound, cuz i love lemmys sound so much and i cant get

  • plug the bass in guitar amplifire, use some distorsion effect, and geave all highs to 0 all lows to 10. Thats how i get it. :D

  • mids to 10, lows and highs to 0 is what lemmy uses

  • but he uses bass ampiflier i guess

  • original marshall superbass amps, not the new ones

  • ya can do anything,i play fingerstyle,but if im playin motorhead,i play with a pick,coz thats how i learnt it,i can play it fingers,but it doesnt sound as good.

    hell,ive used a phone,a stick,a ring,bourbon bottles,another bass and many other things to play my bass.

    its there to be played however the player wants to play!

  • it doenst xD

  • it dont sound like that, but keep playing ;)

  • poor bass for motorhead stuff. the fender jazz is named for the music it was designed for.... JAZZ bass for very old people. get ya self a rickenbacker and then play proper rock n roll.

  • agree.

  • nice. metropolis

  • bass can be played any way you want to play it!

  • amen to that

  • yeah good job bubbles

  • Two *'s due to audio quality.

  • I didn't see any videos of you playing. So, other way around. YOU suck.

  • Fuck you douchebag

  • people who use distortion on a bass hates you to

  • gerben2011: My god, I hate fucking wankers bitching about the methods of music others use. You fucking Petarded asshole.

  • i've been playing bass for 3 months and i started because of lemmy (i'm only 15). i get his tone by putting the trebble and bass on 0 and crank the middle and get the gain on about 3 o clock. that gets me a reasonable tone.

  • Put tremble,bass and gain to 10 and middle to 0 with, you'll be surprised. A sound like breaking windows..

  • suck'd lemmy is better than this shit. well I will get so better than this when I get my Epiphone Embassy Special IV

  • u will get a better sound using sans amp DT2

  • sounds awfull

  • give me your bass!!! you are not a good bass player dude

  • tit

  • geddeeee you know nothing about how Lemmy gets his tone he doesn't use distortion. He uses Marshall heads not pedals. Lemmy himself doesn't even see his self as a bass player. and plus he uses the neck pick up from a gibson thunderbird to get his tone as well its a comb of alot of things to get his tone

  • I know how he gets his sound. I've spoken to him a couple of times. Cranked Marshalls = distortion. He reckons he ain't much of a bass player. So me saying he's shit wouldn't bother him too much. It's all about the music to him. And the speed and JD!!!! LOL!

  • Fuck off Lemmy is a great bass player, listen to albums like space ritual and you'll see or maybe he doesn't play enough notes for ya? Rush fans

  • I've spoken to him at a few gigs. He doesn't mind not being a great bassist. It's about the music to him. I like Geddy and Squire for their tone as I'm a Ricky player too. The amount of notes ain't got nothing to do with it.

    I've been playing bass for 30 years, so I think I might know how many notes is TOO much. These are only opinions, man. If you disagree, that's OK.

    It would be a boring world if we all thought the same.......

  • it's about the music to me too and the mans a great bass player no else plays like him he has a unique and original style you hear two notes and know its him, its the same with say geddy lee you hear him and know its him.

  • Lemmy is his style, the sound is not all

  • The transformer on the pole behind my house was making

    that sound just before it exploded. Now it doesn't make that sound anymore, Thank God!

  • you don't need a rickrnbaker or a marshall amp to get lemmys sound. Thats only what you see in front of the stage. They won't tell you what they've got behind the stacks.

    I've got pretty much the same sound in my Eb-3 with a Laney amp.

    Its all abaout plotting out the idea of the sound and put it into the right gear.

    Anyway...keep experimenting, you can always improve your sound.

  • di's doesn't come even in lemmy's sound :P

    it sucks

  • to have lemmy s sound you got to have arickrnbaker 4001

    Marshall amp (for distortion)and formost you gotta have rings on your fingers and thats the lemmy sound

  • please stop torture to us...please stop

  • This sounds like shit man!

  • Thats sounds like a boss black shit pedal, you're hallucinating man!

  • You wish !!

  • thats not close at all, his is more overdrive yours is like a guitar metal distortion pedal

  • you twat, lemmy father always use legendary rickenbecker model403 bass gitar..

  • the hell's wrong with you? you can't call someone a twat and then get "rickenbacker 4003" wrong. idiot.

  • but hey, a Geddy Lee signature is almost as good, I think

  • not all, its a different animal

  • you can get that sound in all active basses... the punch is what is great about a Rick, you can play high-end and have great punch (also see Tool's Justin Chancellor, that uses WAL, but it has a similar sound)

  • Went to see Tool a week or so ago, Justin really rattled your fillings with the Wal! :-)
