uke Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 Another one from a famous loft this time! Very few photos.

Ou7shined Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 The misemployment of "brought" for "bought" right at the start of the description pretty much made me tune out straight away. He's been into the neck pocket, shouldn't the neck have a stamp in the heel too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemmywinks Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 [i]"who claimed he recovered it from the loft of John Entwistle's old home, better know as the Ox. Can't verify that"[/i] Why bloody mention it then? It really gets my goat when a provenance is hinted at with no effort or intention to verify it. As if namedropping a famous deceased player and alluding to a tenuous link between them and the instrument in the listing somehow adds value to it.

Musky Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 I thought this rang a bell. http://basschat.co.uk/topic/58115-john-entwhistles-jazz-bass Got to be the same one surely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep same serial... although I guess a whole bunch of fake decals all have the same number on. Hey maybe we should start a database of hooky serials on here - could save a lot of hassle in the long run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EBS_freak Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 It must be good. It's got a BadAss on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Because of the added sustain thats how it was found, it was still ringing out from the last time John went in the loft and caught the A string putting back a box of christmas decorations.

MB1 Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 MB1. What was this old timer covered in bird crap doing in John Entwistles loft? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mep Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 (edited) From what I've seen and heard of John Entwistle he had all his basses out in various rooms, not stuck up in the loft. What a load of old tripe! Also, what a crap set of photo's. No full shots of the bass at all. Edited November 14, 2011 by mep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though even the logo looks fake - not much sign of the gold around the Fender which IIRC was quite wide in that era. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SidVicious1978 Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 i know it might be fake but with a nice nitro paint job it could be an awesome looking/playing bass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leschirons Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Well, it can, and does happen. I found this in John Entwistle's loft. Anybody interested at £4,000? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
