Boz Burrell rock steady himself with a fretless Ampeg.

Never knew they were an all Ampeg band; very cool.
Played Mick Ralphs burst when it was for sale about 15 years ago; supposedly the one that recorded feel like making love; great guitar can't remember what it sold for but was at approx $50K back then

15 years ago sounds about right. i knew the dude who was teching for mick back then and that's about the time he retired it from active duty.

Wasn't that our mutual friend from the BBS days Jimmy??? Just can't quite remember. I think he liked to drink Irn Bru a Scottish pop.

P.S. The name Gary Gilmore just popped into my head.

The dealer who had it then, (old pal Gill Southworth) said the celebrity status had no affect on desireability or sale price.

Seems like a real nice burst was once worth over $100K during the peak; wonder what they really go for now?

ya paul, that's who it was...gary. have not heard a peep out of him since then, although when i first started playing with bowzer 12 years ago, we played joe louis arena and a bunch of the union guys knew him.
