Bogus Bogner modded by Mark cameron....

[boof]

Kinda funny in a bit of a fucked up way. There is a bogner XTC custom for sale on auction here http://page4.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/d93945193 (Sorry its in Japanese) the seller has it listed as a Bogner XTC custom mod by Mark Cameron. Some one posted a question to the seller in a nutshell probing them in that "I checked with the distributor and there were not any Mark cameron modded XTC customs imported by them"

the sellers response was something like "well it is a regular xtc custom that was made by mark cameron when he was at bogner"

I might not be the crispiest fry in the happy meal but it seems a bit of a stretch from "mod by mark cameron" to "made when mark cameron was working at bogner."

purchase date is August 28th 2006 serial number is hard to make out but looks like 064272

there was a Shiva for sale up on this and a few other forums that claimed it was a "Cameron Shiva"... and basically what it came down to, if I recall correctly, the seller said it was a Shiva that was produced at Bogner at the same time that Mark worked at Bogner.... so that makes it a Cameron Shiva?

So I guess it is very possible that Mark sneezed on it or something as he was walking by it and/or working on the amp next to it.

It does have marks signature on the board...

That's a different story then... That was your amp I think. Not that I don't believe you, but is there a picture available of his signature on the board? So did he modify it or did he build it as a stock Shiva while at Bogner?

Are builder signatures on the board common on the Shivas? I owned a 6L6 Shiva a couple of years ago and don't recall seeing any signatures on the board when I opened it up to bias test it. That doesn't mean it couldn't happen though. I may not have looked closely at the spot at which they sign it.
