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.

Michael Schenker - UFO (70's era) Criminally overlooked back then and largely still ignored now.

If you're not looking to break the bank a set of Wilkinson WJBL 200's are great quality for the price (between £30 & £40) I do believe Epiphone have them installed on their new Vintage Pro Thunderbird.

7 screw bridge is dubious to me. I reckon it's a Squier neck on a cheapo body.

Gotta be the tapered mate, I bought my Epi Classic Pro T-Bird back in 2012 and the Epi case for it at that time was rectangular.

[quote name='Luulox' timestamp='1495986970' post='3307939'] I never click any links on here because it seems to be an unresolved issue. [/quote] I didn't click on any links mate, I just searched for a threads to do with nut problems, found one, opened it, started reading and suddenly it was replaced, with a page with an automated voice saying something about security issues, I quickly closed it, as I could see by the circle icon on my screen that it was starting to load or run something else.

No molan, there's nowt dodgy in there I have one extension that being Adblock Plus. and I'm one for running frequent security checks.

Dunno if anyone else has experienced it on here, but the following link (Don't click it!) (removed) popped up and totally obliterated the page I was looking at which was. http://basschat.co.uk/topic/247536-fret-buzz-on-the-first-and-second-fret-nut-cut-too-high/page__p__2581597__hl__nut%20cut%20too%20deep__fromsearch__1#entry2581597 Luckily I got my browser closed before it disabled it.

Great drummer! I saw him with Y&T back in '83. I also recall they sacked him because he didn't have the "right" body image. Image before talent, an 80's legacy, which sadly is still rife today!
