John Entwistle was an original and showed many of us what a bass could do. gale barchus (gbarchus) New Username: gbarchus Post Number: 3 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Thursday, June 27, 2002 - 9:00 pm:    Mica, Do you have any photos of John Entwistle's basses?

It's an all time fave of mine, too! What a loss...

When John came through Okla City he opened his show with that song. This show was played in a good size bar, but it was every bit as big and loud as a Who concert Steve Stanton (sjsetc) New Username: sjsetc Post Number: 1 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Saturday, June 29, 2002 - 11:04 pm:    RIP, Thunderfingers... You made me want to play bass... I am forever grateful....

Enthwistle collection. He specialised in Fenders and Gretches. BUT on the frontpage of the catern he showed off with an absolutely stunning Alembic SII, Explorer shape, V-peghead, Gothic inlays, exquise wood, sliver inlays of spiderwebs and individual tailpieces. NOt what you called a Stock Item. Maybe someone here can dug out that picture somewhere. I think I lost the magazine.

Well it turned out to be a Guitar player. This weekend I dived into my old stuff and magazines and ...there it was. The GP may '82 issue "In Color: the Enwistle Collection". The article was written by Tom Wheeler and the beautifull pictures were made by Gavin Cochrane. I post the famous picture of the Ox with his custom Alembic. Tom Wheeler gave the following specs: bird's Eye maple top, figured walnut core, sterling silver spiderweb inlays, individual brass tailpiece for each string, Standard (????) Alembic electronics, graphite reinforced neck of laminated walnut and maple, edxtra-wide fingerboard with LED-side poistion markers, the names of various mucical notes inlaid in mother of pearl Gothis script, a radical V-shaped peghead. Ain't that sweet? Rolling thunder of cool-quite Ox .

Great bass !
