I saw the guy live about a year ago. Sadly he don't bring out those old basses with him any more. I' could have sworn that he used a Epiphone T-bird Pro refinished in red color that night. At least I saw him walking around with an Epiphone case.

I have tried to play Thunderbirds because I love the playing of Nikki Sixx and Motley Crue so much. It doesn't sound like him at all and you can't reach the upper frets that well. When he plays it almost sounds like he is playing something else. The look though of the Thunderbird never gets old, so cool.

Love your videos, but today I have a question about epiphone les pauls, I know loads of guys buy epi's and putting expensive pickups and wiring in them, I've been playing them for years and I have always thought they were great guitars, so in your professional opinion what do you think about the quality of them are they worth all the work and money these guys are putting into them?

Dave I'm wondering if you could do a video on setting up a 5 string bass specifically with 2 truss rods. Mine is bent the wrong way round with no relief so I have to raise the strings to a rediculous height just to get it to play. I've looked on the net but cannot seem to find a tutorial on dual truss rod relief. The adjustment is at the headstock, thanks
