I can not see this one fetching the asking price, other ex-Entwistle Buzzards have sold for far less than this one.

A sharp intake of breath!...How Much?

Was it run over by a bus?

This bass has a huge crack down the middle and back. As the lore goes, while on tour in the mid 90's, Roger Daltrey asked Entwistle to turn his bass down. In true rock and roll fashion, Entwistle threw the bass at Daltrey and said, "you play the F***in' thing", as the bass hit the ground it cracked right down the middle.[/quote]
Pete Townshend tells a similar story on the Ox's Tale DVD, so it could be that bass. Still way overpriced,

It's worth what someone is willing to pay for it...

But it's too rich for my blood. Even with the cool tale and the great pics.

If I won the Lottery I'd definitely have her ... but I haven't, so I can't

I watched a J.E. documentary on YouTube, and that story came up. I'm sure J.E. said something like "it was an expensive one, an Alembic or something"
Would account for the crack though!

And Here's one John prepared earlier...

Not my thing (nor in my budget!), but I'd always be a little uneasy about buying something like this from someone who doesn't know how to spell the singer's name.
