Another book suggestion for your Crimbo list .....

[The Admiral]

Jake Brown, with Lemmy : 'Motorhead - in the studio'

This is a bit of a cut and paste from Lemmy's autobiography and there is a lot taken from interviews given by the band to fansites etc - but.... there is some great stuff in there for bass players and those with an interest in the studio environment/engineering/production. The author has tracked down a good number of Motorhead's past producers and engineers, and, as well as the lowdown on how they arrived at the sounds on record (Lemmy's basses, amp types & settings, microphones used, eq etc - studio nerd central!), you also get an insight into how tough they are to produce, with very little compromise countenanced on how they want to do it. That said, everyone who has worked with them is glad they did, and most freely admit to having learned a great deal through the experience.

it's about £5.99 on Amazon I think and would make a good Boxing day read.

Enjoy.....
