In this video at 13:37 we can see Lemmy on a poster for Motorhead where he is holding a Washburn B-20 Bass
A still shot of this poster can be seen here.
Severin plays the Washburn B-20 during the ''Fireworks'' music video. The pyrotechnics hinder the vision a little, but you can see the headstock at 2:38 and a better shot at 3:24. No idea if he used in studio (probably not).
