close.

Lol Crème did develop it. There were production models for both guitar and
bass. The version Lol used was different from the production model. The
gizmo was used on most of 10cc's material. Songs like "old wild men" show 
it
off quite well. He used it live as well, but from what I was told it was
hard to tame. the production model, especially for guitar, wasn't great, or
so I've heard. I still want one, but could never find one, and I'm left
handed as well.

and yes, consequences is fantastic and very funny.
