Rayman Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 I think Dave Swift knows Pino, obviously Pino was in the Who…. I’ll message Dave. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a good story that would make an interesting piece. A nationally published magazine would probably have the authority to get a response from the Who organisation. Guitarist magazine can be contacted at [email protected] or on 01225 442244 Great idea thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayman Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 Dave Swift has kindly had a look, but as you can imagine, getting a hold of Pino to ask the question about this bass and it's origins is difficult. So for now at least that's a dead end, sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Browning Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 I am gigging with Pete Townsend's guitar tech next week. I can ask if he has any way of finding anything out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tayste_2000 Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 I imagine it’s not the OP’s auction, I’m just adding another page to the story and we all get to see a lovely sunburst 70s P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burns-bass Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 I think the bass returned to auction where it was picked up but the weird fantasist / liar / crazy guy who runs Essex Recording Studios. I had a bass that was played by Entwistle with photos and never thought to mention it to the the new owner. This is just utterly pathetic and patent nonsense. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayman Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 To be fair, I could make a nice raised bed for my garden out of those planks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
