Cracking that, I had one but couldn`t get on with the chunky neck, great value basses though.

They`re awesome, just recently got myself an Ibanez Destroyer but really liking the colours of these!

Thomann were knocking them out for £116, I bought one but it didn`t last long, it wasn`t the most versatile sounding bass i`ve had.

Haha I seem to have a bass for every dislike apart from single cut but as I used to own one of them as well I will give you all a middle finger and say F**k you, you want boring buy boring, me I want buckeye burl roasted maple, gold hardware and a generous portion of points!

Yeah he seemed a really genuine friendly bloke, he is bringing the bass back to me at a gig in North Shields so my first play of it will be at volume through the Hartke Kilo and i`ll be able to try it against my Quarter Pounder equipped Ibanez Destroyer. Good times!

Today I dropped off my active T-Bird to have a set of passive Ghost Pickups `Dirty Dozen` hand built pickups installed, has anyone heard of Ghost Pickups? Theyre a one man band based in Whitley Bay up her in the good old North East, just wondering if anyone has got any feedback on them, I will update this when I get my bass back in a couple of weeks (would have been next week but we are gigging nearby in 2 weeks so it saves me a trip). His prices are pretty good as well, 2 hand wound humbuckers, 4 pots and fitting for £160 and they have a contrasting veneer top and a 10 year warranty, should be getting pics this week of the build so I will post them on here. I actually can`t wait to try these out!

Nice, I saw this when I went to see Chris last year and to order my next one

Bought a neck off Chris....sent it before I even paid! top man. Cheers Jeff

Gutted, Kilmister, Clarke and Taylor shaped my youth, loved the band, don`t normally wear band tee`s at gigs but my `head one will be worn tomorrow night. RIP Eddie.

2 GSD`s and I might have been interested!

Can`t fault john or his looms, top man.

If I was going to modify my Epi T/bird pro 4 it would be with decent humbuckers, after changing the pre amp!

I have to ask....why buy it ?

I only joined my new band in July but I`ve done 14 which i`m more than happy with, 2018 starts next Saturday with a gig in my local! My 2018 gig money will be paying for my next Alpher

The Epi Classic T/Bird pro uses passive Gibson pickups but the active T/Bird pro uses T Pro humbuckers, easiest way to tell the Active ones have Epiphone stenciled on them, I would guess theyre the same size and shape as each other though.

Wow that is lovely! is that a zebrano neck and fretboard?? Yes it is

Cannons roared, in the valley they thundered While the guns lit up the night Then it rained and both sides wondered Who is wrong and who is right? On the wire like a ragged old scarecrow Bloody hands and broken back When they fire, see him pirouette solo Jump in time to the rat-a-tat What a night though it's one of seven What a night for the dancing dead What a night to be called to heaven What a picture to fill your head To fill your head By the wall in silhouette standing Through a flash of sudden light Cigarette from his mouth just hanging Paper square to his heart pinned tight Gather 'round, reluctant marksmen One of them to take his life With a smile he gives them pardon Leaves the dark and takes the light What a night though it's one of seven What a night for the dancing dead What a night to be called to heaven What a picture to fill your head To fill your head They dispatch their precious cargo And knock him back right off his feet And they pray may no one follow Better still to face the beast When the field has become a garden And the wall has stood the test Children play and the dogs run barking Who would think or who would guess? What a night though it's one of seven Le mort dansant What a night for the dancing dead What a night to be called to heaven What a picture to fill your head To fill your head Les Morts Dansant by Magnum, the most thought filling lyrics i`ve ever heard and a brilliant song to boot.

Jealous Moi? .....damn right!!! One of the reasons I play bass!

Thats very nice, i`ve had both a Jazz and a P made from Paulownia and they were both very light, ideal for anyone looking for lightweight instruments.
