Lemmyn mielipiteitä Rickenbackerista:
"MB: Yeah. I know there’s always a lot of people curious as to why you started using the Rickenbacker bass that you use?
LK: It was because I was a guitar player turned bass player. So I liked the skinny neck, you know. And I liked the weird shape, too. I mean, it had nothing to do with the sound of the thing, because it sounds awful. But I decided to fix the pick-ups, you know. So I thought to give it some thunderbird pick-ups on the original one, and it sounded like a monster, you know. And it’s all one piece of wood that’s connected right through the body. And I liked that, too. It’s sturdy. So you can throw it down, it bounces, and it doesn’t break.
MB: So it was more the appearance of it, than the function of it.
LK: Yeah, right. The same reason I bought the Gibson Thunderbird bass. But the neck on that is so long, you have to be a giant to play it, you know. I sold that to Dimebag Darrell whose arms are even shorter than mine. So I don’t know what he’s going to do with it. Probably use it as a doorstop, maybe. Or sell it at an auction."
