  1. It would look even greater burning in a furnace!
  2. I've just ordered a set of nickel vintage fender bushings, they're the same low profile as the Gotoh's and they're the right fit.
  3. Hi J-L P I finally got around to getting a set of those Gotoh 640's for my Vintage Pro, and have found that the bushings are slightly too small for the holes. Did you leave the original Epiphone bushings in, or have you used the Gotoh's? If so, how did you get around that difference in size? I also noticed that the string pole (whatever it's called) could have done with being a bit longer.

    Ordered Saturday, received an email earlier from Thomann saying my order has been shipped today.
  5. Such a sad day! He was a solid and yet a much underrated bass player. I was really shocked to see how frail he was when they did the Frantic Four reunion shows.
  6. He currently has the same 7 string Harley Benton advertised with two different descriptions priced at £1,200 and £1, 500.

    Thanks ambient that's good to know. Thomann have never failed me with deliveries in the past, so I think I'll take a punt.
  10. I'm thinking of ordering some Machine Heads from Thomann, the total cost inc VAT and shipping is £111. Will I also get stung with import duty on their arrival into the country?
  11. I totally agree with Nancy about the look being much better a cheaper alternative to Kluson (well they were when i bought mine) are Gotoh GB640's, they also have the long stems and are available in reverse and forward gearing, they're also 'Resolite' and excellent quality.
  12. Pete Way's 1976 Bicentennial Thunderbird. I asked him what became of it, his reply was "I don't know, I used to lose basses all the time."
  13. I wonder if he asked Mr Phillips' advice on that G machine head?
  14. Phil Mogg came out with some gems. Warnors Theater, Fresno 1977. "I dunno whether any of you have heard of Madame Tussauds before? If some of the people down the front ain't careful, they'll be in there!" " Now Listen you old age pensioners down ere, get you fackin' feet moovin' stickin' them up there, what d'you think this is a drinking club? OK, we're fack off now with somethin' from our first album... This is called Rock Bottom."
  15. I know someone who could make that a real player by converting it into a wide necked 4 string.
