To start with, my immediate wants!

Back From The Grave lp's series, the original ones! i have only vol. 2

Texas Flashback lp's, Original too, have vol. 1 and 2

Boulders series.

BFTG and KBD obviously. I only have a couple of them so far but I love The Big Itch.

Bloodstains Across Spain.  Haven't been able to find it for a reasonable price.

What a Way to Die, Garage Punk Unknowns 9, Scum of the Earth 2, Bloodstains Across Sweden, New England Teen Scene, Swing For a Crime, and The Lavender Jungle are some of my all-time favorites.

yeah ive got the humbuckers which i believe are schallers. For a surf tone theyre surprisingly good clean, even though theyre humbuckers. They sound great. Mines got the wraparound tailpiece(no trem). Also the price i got it for is totally thrown off by the fact i picked it up in Ecuador in what i think might be the only used guitars shop in the country, thats to say i think i got a good deal.

I cant personally speak for how they compare to the eastwoods, but id like to play one for sure.

I've always liked the Univox, hi flyer, but man, a decent one on ebay can get kinda pricey. How are the pick ups in yours? Looks like there's two versions, black P-90's and some kind of off white version. Hang on, I'm coming from a surf guitar perspective, so keep that in mind.

I picked up a 70's univox hi-flier and it has exceeded all expectations. Just another option for a mosrite copy for you to check out.

The guitar player from OFF! has at least two of them, and Kurt cobain used them on bleach and in utero.

I picked mine up for 450$ with the case and some spare strings/cables.

I've been reading up, checking out the videos, reading the reviews and  I'm kicking around the idea of getting an Eastwood Hi-Flyer, anyone on this board have any experiences they'd like to share? I'm mostly concerned with the tremolo, is it crap or will it stay in tune? Thanks in advance!

The Fall, what a band, Mark E Smith, what a ....front, man, still i've had the good luck to have never seen a bad show, i've caught them several times between 1985 and 2010...

It was probably The Fall at the Astoria in '87 although Husker Du at Glasto the same year was pretty awesome. Also PiL touring the Seattle material (also at the Astoria). There, I seem to have thought of three: there are a lot more contenders though, like Agent Orange, who I saw for the first time last year at the Underworld in Camden after being into them for 25 years!

Yeah i caught Roky at Jarvis Cocker's Meltdown - it was unbelievably good. Truth is I don't get to that many gigs coz of KIng Bastard Cash and so I have to pick and choose which means I don't get to see much crap either.

The Only Ones were top notch in a small venue last year, The Linkmen were fucking awesome way back when in a dive in London, just like The Pink Fairies.

The Damned always give value for money and Iggy before he did Insurance ads...

lemmy's a god and motorhead never fail...

Also a lot of bands just don't get the crowd reaction from some, well most, manchester audiences, god knows why, well i've got a theory but i don't want to be shot out on the streets, so i've stopped going to some manchester venues.

I was at a backyard show  back in like 2002 when I lived in California, watching RUN-A-MUCK. I got mistaken for someone else, and we got chased out by another drunk punx crew. Along with my girlfriend at the time, my two buddies and their girlfriends as well. Chased out by a mob of 30+ punks. Luckily, a random guy saw our situation, crammed us all into his hatchback civic and sped outta there. Intense stuff! i didn't even get to see the band =/.

What a drag.

RIP Poly, you will be sorely missed.

ah damn, had no idea...RIP Poly....

Ah, no...

Reminds me so much of my teenage years in the late 70's. My life could have been very different - and not in a good way - if it hadn't been for artists like Poly Styrene ... RIP

What a downer, very sad. Such a voice, such a personality, so much expression. RIP Poly

Very sad, I loved X-Ray Spex.

Stink buzz. Rest in Peace Poly.

Favourite chord? G6. Don't know why, I just like the sound of it. I've never used it in a song and probably never will.
