MOTÖRHEADACHE IS A THREE-PIECE TRIBUTE TO LEMMY'S MUSICAL CAREER WITH MOTÖRHEAD FOR 40 YEARS FROM 1975 TO 2015. SET UP BY LIFELONG MOTÖRHEAD FAN ROB CAMPBELL ON RICKENBACKER BASS AND VOCALS, ROB CAPTURES THE ESSENCE OF LEMMY IN VOICE, STAGE CLOTHES AND HIS GRINDING MID-RANGE BASS SOUND.

Bass Rig: In September 2020, Rob bought a Marshall 4x15 cab that was owned by Lemmy. This cab was presented as a gift to Lemmy by Gerry Bron of Bronze Records and has Celestion G15-100 speakers in it, wired originally in parallel to 4 ohms, but rewired to 16 ohms series/parallel.

To sit on top of the Marshall 4x15 is a Marshall 4x12 bass cab. Originally a JCM 800 series bass cab, it was modified with speaker grills and contains a quad of Celestion G12-65 speakers with 444 bass cones.

Rob's Murder One amp is a Marshall Super Bass dating from 1977, rewired to Lemmy’s specification by a former Marshall engineer and an exact replica cosmetically of Lemmy’s famous amp.

On the other side of the stage is a ‘Lem1992’ Marshall Super bass, once again rewired to Lemmy’s specification and an exact copy of the amp in the Marshall Museum in Milton Keynes.

Bass Guitars: In addition to the Rickenbastard 4004 (with Lemmy’s old HB1 pickups, tuners and guitar strap fitted by Lemmy’s luthier Tim Ellis of T.C Ellis Guitars), a white Rickenbacker 4001 has been added. This has decals and an original design Born to Lose, Live to Win sticker. The Lemmy signed Rickenbacker 4001 used in many Motörheadache gigs was sold to a private collector.

GUITAR DUTIES ARE TAKEN UP BY SHANE HAIGH, WHO IS ALSO A SUCCESSFUL LUTHIER AND IS KNOWN AS THE 'STRING SURGEON'. (WWW.THESTRINGSURGEON.CO.UK).
