UFO - Strangers In The Night. Eddie & The Hot Rods - Life On The Line. The Damned - The Black Album.

Thank you, I thought that was what they were.

I'll be having a Black one when they finally land, though t he sunburst looks better in your photo than it does in the official pics. What make are the Machine heads?

Nice one mate, what great memory for you, bet his sound was a raw as hell then.

Yeah, and sadly it appears to have sold, someone has been robbed!

Yeah that doesn't surprise me, he and Mogg's working relationship was coming to it's end. Infact he'd left just before the U.S leg of the Lights Out tour the year before because of Mogg and he only returned because Pete Way had managed to locate him and talk him into it.

It certainly is! UFO.....Nice! I saw them on the Lights Out (June '77 Newcastle Mayfair), Obsession (June '78 Newcastle Mayfair), Strangers In The Night (Dec '79 Middlesbrough Town Hall), The Wild, The Willing & The Innocent (Jan '81 Middlesbrough Town Hall), Walk On Water (Feb '98 Newcastle City Hall) and the Conspiracy of Stars (May 2015 Exeter Phoenix) tours!

Look at that headstock! Squier infinity series at best. Messaged him and reported to ebay. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Fender-jazz-bass-guitar/332491485097?hash=item4d6a096fa9:g:xGUAAOSwyGZaN7gn

and also this!

This! Especially after starting work 6 months prior to it's release!

If the one you got from Gear4Music had the strap button on the top wing it was the first version of Epiphone Thunderbird with the bolt on neck. The one in the link above has a through neck and Gibson pickups and is light years ahead of the old bolt on version, it's also the newest model available in the UK at the moment, though it is soon to be replaced by the Vintage Pro, when they finally decide to get their fingers out..

UFO. I would like to have had the ride Pete Way had alongside Michael Schenker (minus the Heroin habit of course). I asked him what happened to his Natural Grain 1976 Bicentennial Thunderbird (of which only 224 were made) which was last seen around 1980. "I don't know" was his answer, so sad.

Well judging by his notes at the bottom of his ad someone has has had to point it out to him (apparently rudely) just what it is he's selling.

and it looks like he's gonna get away with it! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Epiphone-Thunderbird-Classic-IV-Pro-4-Bass-Guitar-Alpine-White-Barely-Used/162754292935?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649

String tree is in an odd location.

[quote name='AndyTravis' timestamp='1509122381' post='3396858'] How weird is this... I found him on eBay, but couldn't message him as he didn't have items for sale. An hour later, he bought some pickups from me on eBay. Very odd. [/quote] So did you get in contact now then? If so is he still doing the Mighty Mite necks?

Hi Andy, There's a fella on ebay called bluebass320, (real name Dave) He usually has Mighty Mite necks (P's & J's) just send him a message, I've bought a few off of him over the years, I'm sure if you ask him he'll finish them as you wish.

I've been thinking of replacing the Gibson pups in my Epi Classic with a set of Mojo's. Just wondering if anyone has done this already? and if so do they drop straight in and do they have that vintage T-bird tone?

I have a 70's CV and if I had the cash spare I'd be up to Bristol for this in no time.

Nice bargain for someone with the readies.

[quote name='hiram.k.hackenbacker' timestamp='1506857186' post='3381507'] Mmm, not sure about that. There can't be many rock fans who haven't heard of him, UFO and MSG. I'm overlooking Scorpions as he was only on their debut album/tour. I think his popularity suffered a lot due to the issues he had, but I really don't think he's overlooked or not respected as a decent guitar player. [/quote] You'll be surprised at how many Americans still don't know who he is... You say "Schenker" They automatically assume you're meaning Rudolf.
