Lemmy's sound on 'Hellraiser' anyone care to explain?

Always curious about this song, because I don't know whats going on with the low end, it has a nice thunderous pumping sound to it, but Lemmys light on the low end, is this one of the occasions he turns up his low frequencies or is it a session bassist?

It's gotta be Lemmy w/ a tweaked EQ. I can't see Motorhead hiring a session bassist!

He probably just turned the lows on his amp up.

Normally it's all the way down, as are highs, with the mids and gain and volume all the way up.

This is a song originally recorded by Ozzy I believe, one of the many that Lemmy wrote or co-wrote. This is probably why it's not a very Lemmy-like bassline, it's not like him to just shuffle along on the bottom. It's almost funky.

Great song though, even better bass line.
