Yi, Yi, Yi!!!! :o

Big Dollars, Johnnie!! :P

I got me two of these, so all of a sudden I'm quite well off!! :D

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! :blink:

Cheers. :)

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.

Errr, actually John's own Ned Callan (collateral for dong the ad?) was sold at Christies for £2,200. And that was in 1993.

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:

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? :)

Ha - Ha :)

I'm now laughing because I had to read it three or four times - I didn't get it.

Got it now - Very funny!!

Cheers. :)
