Happy Jack

For £85 I'd expect to get a whole Gary Moore.

The body edge in the jackplate photo is arguably the funniest piece of relic'ing so far this year ...

The original Hofner 185 on which this is modelled used the then-standard 'Staple' pickups.

We use one at maybe half of our gigs. We've so far only been asked not to use it once. And we've only had the Fire Brigade out once. Sadly, I'm not trying to be funny.

When you bring on a showbiz drummer and put him in front of the band, he's not stealing the show, he IS the show. Couldn't agree with you more about the appalling treatment of a great rock song, especially those vocals.

There are LOADS of on-going PayPal scams just now.

Near as I can make out, it was actually owned by a tribute band called INDISFARN.

Hmmmmm ... that bass appears to be FUBAR. Yes it's a Bass Collection and I'm known to be a big fan, but God knows what that thing actually sounds and/or plays like.
