"In 1977 I swapped the bass I ‘ad, a Fender, for a Gibson SG. It’s a 1963 SG and this is the one that I played all through the band. I did start the band with a Gibson Explorer. It was brand new. I bought it in 1980. I did that first gig at the Crown with it, and the second gig we was playin’ away and I knocked Zeeb and it knocked it out of tune so I picked up the SG and when I came off they all said “Gore Blimey Phil, That”s a lot better sounding guitar.” And I never looked back. I never picked up the Explorer again. I just carried on with the SG."
