KevG Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 Just seen the video of 'Who are you' on Virgin media for the first time, what is John Entwhistle playing? It seems to have a Fender neck (Precision, all maple?) and a Gibson Explorer body with gold p/u covers. Love to know, just in case I ever get asked to be in a bass related pub quiz!!

kevin_lindsay Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 That would have been John's 'Fender-bird' hybrid bass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one in the Who Are You vid is generally known as an Explorerbird. It still has the Fender Precision neck, and Gibson guts, so it's basically the same bass only with a different body shape.

kevin_lindsay Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 Ah, I see! So it would be the one on page 32 of John's 'Bass Culture' book? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
