Description
Few bassists carved out a tone as instantly recognizable as Lemmy Kilmister’s—a snarling, midrange-forward attack with enough punch to cut through Motörhead’s wall of guitars. Jim Dunlop worked directly from Lemmy’s personal setup to produce this stainless steel 50-105 set, giving players access to the same string recipe that shaped one of rock’s most aggressive bass sounds.
- Gauges: 50-105 (4-string set)
- Stainless steel construction for bright, cutting tone and rugged durability
- Signature specification based on Lemmy Kilmister’s own strings
Beyond the signature pedigree, this set reflects Dunlop’s broader approach to bass strings: engineered core-to-wrap ratios that keep tension comfortable while extending playing life and cutting down on break-in time. Whether you’re digging in with a pick, slapping, or playing fingerstyle, the set responds with a wide low end, biting midrange, and the kind of growl that holds its own against loud, dense mixes.
String-to-string balance is a priority here—each string in the set is matched for consistent output and feel, so chords and note transitions stay even across the neck. The result is a versatile stainless steel set that suits rock, metal, and anyone chasing a punchier, more assertive low end.
For bassists who admire Lemmy’s tone or simply want a durable, characterful stainless steel string with real bite, this Dunlop set delivers a proven formula in a straightforward 4-string package.
