discreet Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 I can get firewood cheaper than that! From a petrol station! Quote
timmo Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 If any of you have access to a forensic lab, you may be able to find out if it is John Entwhistles hair in the bridge Quote
FlatEric Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 Yi, Yi, Yi!!!! Big Dollars, Johnnie!! I got me two of these, so all of a sudden I'm quite well off!! For those who are interested. . . . . From what Peter told me, John never had one/played one, to his knowledge. He was drafted in for the photo shoot. On the other hand, they are quite interesting and give out quite a nice tone. Definately a vintage feel to it - a la 60's/70's. I think there are a couple on regular BCer's who own one. Hands up, then! Perhaps a bit on the pricey side. . . . perhaps! Cheers. Quote
gareth Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 from memory I have seen these pieces of crap selling on ebay before around the £200 mark clearly the ox connection adds another £1000 to this one what a joke Quote
ambient Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 That is an extremely ugly, very expensive instrument, made by someone I've never heard of. I don't like the Who, and I've always thought Entwistle to be a bit over-rated. Consequently, I won't be bidding Quote
Bassassin Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 The one for sale is clearly not the one in the Entwistle ad, which is a longscale, like the CMI-branded version I had a few years back. The ludicrously overpriced one for sale is shortscale, check the relative positions of bridge & output etc. Mine was a pretty cool old bass, I really only bought it out of curiosity & because it was cheap. It wasn't any practical use to me, and I sold it to BCer Razze06, who still has it now. Jon. Quote
Bassassin Posted February 14, 2015 Posted February 14, 2015 [quote name='Meddle' timestamp='1423871636' post='2690062'] Errr, actually John's own Ned Callan (collateral for dong the ad?) was sold at Christies for £2,200. And that was in 1993. [url="http://www.christies.com/lotfinder/lot/john-entwistle-a-ned-callan-solidbody-3613336-details.aspx?intObjectID=3613336"]http://www.christies...bjectID=3613336[/url] [/quote] No pic, and going on Christies' description, not one of these: [quote] A Ned Callan solidbody bass guitar in a sunburst finish; maple neck, 20 fret bound rosewood fingerboard, Schaller machineheads, two pickups, three controls and black pickguard[/quote] More likely a Ned Callan Cody "Nobbly Ned", prob'ly this very one: Quote

itsmedunc Posted February 14, 2015 Posted February 14, 2015 [quote name='FlatEric' timestamp='1423906582' post='2690180'] Correct. [/quote] Is that a carpet I see under the basses in the pic above? Also, if you give your left eye a good squint you can just make out what looks to be a pair of curtains? Quote
the hand of john curley Posted February 15, 2015 Posted February 15, 2015 A description to rival those of MDP! 😂😂😂 Quote
