 I've been looking for this video for some time (couldn't remember the song title) it's Brian Wheat and Tesla. He's playing a White Non Reverse - What I'd forgotten is that the second part of the guitar solo is done on a 4001 Rickenbacker,  Very cool!

I don't know who's NR that is either, doubt it's a Gibson  tho.

Wheat used ESP Thunderbirds a lot back then. I remember magazine ad's with him playing several customs that looked like Gibsons. This could be one of those??

 I think you're right Andy I just didn't see a clear shot of the headstock.

I couldn't get a clear look either. He gets plenty of camera time, but no good headstock shots.

Last I saw in a comparatively recent interview he still played only ESPs live.

 A little fun with my Thunderbirds from this past weekend, the Burny on "I hate myself for loving you", and the Nikki Sixx Mk.II with Lull pickups on "Ring of Fire"

Is that the Burny in the first video? Boy it sounds great! Are those your GKs in the backline?

 Yes to both Scott! I don't usually change basses at shows but really wanted to use them both.
We played 4 - 45 minute sets so I split it down the middle along with a clothing/hair change. I'm pretty pleased with both of the basses at this point, tho I do have some nickel pickup covers and rings to get at Lull's later this week.

Missed this band...

 Ah, Steve Fossen of course!

Met him a couple times at BassNW - he works there occasionally.
