I had bought a Heather Poly '86 Thunderbird back in 1992 and bought Chandler T bird pickups, chrome bridge and Big Kluson Nickel/Chrome tuners for it. I still was a dog of a bass so I wound up trading that and a stripped bare wood '76 Thunderbird for my Hamer Candy Apple Red Thunderbird 8 string. Still....a custom color like that would have been worthwhile to keep.

This is the first time I've seen this Hipshot in person and I must say it looks right at home

Hmm... I don't agree George. I think it's kinda silly Hipshot didn't realise the bridge is wider than the raised centerblock.
From a designers point of view that is a mortal sin.  :vader:

Point taken but it bothered me a lot less in person than it did in pics. I imagine Hipshot designed it with the whole 3 point line in mind, and while a lot of us think in bird terms only, the width of that bridge didn't cause a problem for the rest of the line (Rippers, EBs, RDs and such). Aesthetically, I found it much more pleasing than a Badass, and that's coming from someone who has a Badass on an EB and even one bird!

In fairness, you probably caught them on a bad night. They were never a disciplined band that could pull of a decent gig if they were not on top of their game, with them it was extremes. The whole Song Remains the Same sounds listless and over-indulgent to me, but there are certainly other moments on "How the West was won".

 I saw Alice Cooper a few months before on Billion Dollar babies tour........Made LZ look like a bad garage band.

It was a mere oversight.

I'm shocked, shocked to find that plagiarism was going on.

Whoever threw it was just trying to spare you having to sit through a show.
