This video shows how Lemmy's bass style explained why Motorhead always sounded so GIGANTIC for a trio; those massive bass guitar chords just filled up a lot of the low-end and mid-range.

[@crescentfreshbret]

Yousseff Imani They were a trio for their first 9 years of existence, although they changed guitarists and drummers after their first album. That classic lineup of Lemmy, Fast Eddie Clarke, and Philthy Animal Taylor recorded the band’s most celebrated albums: Overkill, Bomber, Ace of Spades, Iron Fist, and the legendary live album No Sleep Til Hammersmith. They had a LOT of lineup changes during their many years of existence with Lemmy as the only constant member.

[@MortanAMrk]

they were a four piece (technically) at some point in the 80's but usually just trios

Hiya, what's the make of the bass your using, thanks

[@blastoisetamer1826]

you know a man is crazy when he plays power chords on bass. Legend lemmy rest in peace

[@ReasonablyArsenal]

😂👌

[@brandon_white2422]

Playing chords on the bass is probably what gave them a heavier sound

[@Bowiiihowdy]

He would also overdrive the amp for his bass to which gave it this sound

[@jcaldwell4988]

Yup, his style covered the bottom and mid range.

[@KTF0]

Also the thick overdrive bass tone.

@@Truth_Hurts_Bad most rock folk wrote a bunch of songs like that but thing is that Lemmy is far from that depiction of pedophilia, i like to look at it as a sort of perspective he has on it, kinda like gangsta rap. None of them are gangstas but they write rhymes about dealing coke and violence

This is the hardest song I've ever attempting on bass because I'm afraid to blow my amp

[@tite93]

The amps are designed to handle that kind of pressure, they usually blow up because of prolonged use or sub bass frequencies going too loud, if you use an octave pedal for instance

[@Highrollinhunter]

To really play like Lemmy, just turn up your amp aaaall the way until it explodes. Then turn it up just a bit more.

lines are rhytmic figures. Half notes, quarter notes, 8th notes etc. And i think you refer to the ties. Those are for extending duration of notes more than it's value
