The bridge looks a little unusual, perhaps not original? Great story in the listing. Well worth the read. Here's a sample that might be appreciated around here: "...legend has it that this bass was originally commissioned by the late great John Entwistle of The Who, but was never paid for or picked up when it was finished. On a visit to the Santa Rosa factory in 1978 my Dad just happened to be in the mood for a new bass. I was there by the way, at 4 years of age. I remember the factory and the smell of the wood but not much else. To this day I still have a small block of 7 piece wood laminate that the owners wife let me keep as a souvineer!" Sound familiar? Bill, tgo | ||

That's a looker and I expect some decent eBay activity on this. Should at least get into the $3K's, I suspect. | ||

Could be Fan shape, could be Knobby shape (which IIRC is a variation on the Fan shape). | ||
