Talk:The Gizmo

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The correct name of this gadget is in fact Gizmotron. Godley and Creme let the Musitronics company (best known for their Mu-Tron phaser) manufacture the Gizmotron. ARP bought Musitronics and renamed it to Gizmo Inc.

If that's true beyond question, then the article should be moved to the name of Gizmotron with a redirect. I've just checked my copy of Consequences, where they refer to the device only as the gizmo. So ... I dunno. There should be some definitive answer available somewhere. Grimhim 09:56, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

If I'm not mistaken, I believe the Gizmo was the device for a 6-string guitar, whereas the Gizmotron was designed for the 4 string bass-guitar. M

The Church not only used the Gizmo but also made reference to it in the lyrics of their sardonic song "Grind" from Gold Afternoon Fix - "Line up the arrows, push off the top/This can cause sustain forever/And once it's started up, it cannot be stopped/At least it's holding us together".
