"BORN TO LOSE... OUT TO LUNCH."
PIC INFO: Resolution at 1028x1278 -- Spotlight on the late, great Lemmy Kilmister (1945-2015), founder/vocalist/bassist/ songwriter for English [heavy] rock 'n' roll band MOTÖRHEAD, pictured here with his trusty Rickenbacker bass guitar and Snaggletooth helmet, c. 1981. 📸: ❓
"You mustn't shout it out loud, Don't create a scene, It's no good being proud That only feeds the scheme, Break down the wall, Live it up it's their time to fall, Anarchy is coming in, If you know we Live to Win."
-- "Live to Win" (1980) by MOTÖRHEAD

always feel so bad getting my dad such predictable christmas presents but hes so hard to buy for...all he ever wants is books + cds but he knows exactly what he wants if you tried to pick a cd for him that would be disastrous. so he just has a list of even more cds and we get him a few of those but i wish i could pick something for him as a surprise that he would genuinely like : ^ (

While Geddy Lee is best known for using basses like his legendary Rickenbacker 4001 in Jetglo and Fender Jazz Bass, another bass guitar of his thats become iconic was his black Rickenbacker 4080/12 Double Neck.

This bass was a standard 4001 4-string bass on the upper neck, with a 480 12 string guitar on the bottom neck.
This bass was most famously used live for the song ‘Xanadu’, where Geddy played his normal bass parts until Alex’s guitar solo near the end of the song he would switch to the 12 string guitar neck and play a rhythm guitar part while simultaneously playing his Moog Taurus bass pedals with his feet.
And actually, the black double neck wasn’t the only one he had. Geddy also used a white Rickenbacker 4080, this one with a 6 string guitar neck instead of a 12 string on the black double neck. This one he used on ‘A Passage To Bangkok’, again playing the normal bass parts then switching to the guitar neck to play a rhythm guitar part along with the bass pedals during Alex’s solo.

The black 4080/12 was used starting with the A Farewell To Kings tour in 1977 and used until the Moving Pictures tour in 1981, after which it was retired.
The white 4080 was only used for the Hemispheres tour in 1978-79 and the Permanent Waves tour in 1980, after which it was retired.
But thats not the end of the 4080. Geddy brought out a different Fireglo colored 4080/12 along with a Jetglo 4080/12 (unknown if its his original one from the 1970s) for Rush’s final R40 tour in 2015 along with a nearly full version of ‘Xanadu’ as a last hurrah.

Sometimes I think about getting a Rickenbacker 4001 like Scott Pilgrim's and then...

Mustered up the energy to do a little rearrange - popped 4 of my 6 stringers up on the wall and shuffled my bedroom bass roster (not a Fender name bass in sight rather shockingly! 😮😂)

Not to be that guy but I'm super glad my rick arrived today - with the scott pilgrim anime coming along I swear they're gonna be filling out fireglo 4003 orders for YEARS. Hell, I ordered mine during a lull and it still took 4 months!
