Very good condition - small paint repair/fault, which is smooth despite the appearance as per the pictures and a little light staining on the back of the neck where it's been resting on the case neck support.  I only noticed the paint when taking the photos for this add when the sun caught the paint at the right angle.

 

I bought the Dean fitted case for it which is included in the sale.  Lovely neck, plays like I Can't Believe It's Not Butter. Active with EMG pickups, weight is 9lb 7oz, new TI Jazz roundwound strings.

 

Sale only, no swapsies/trades, and I'll take a sensible offer.  The courier charges to you will only be what I pay for fully insured delivery to your address.  Local pickup of course and I'll meet you within a sensible distance on M.25 J11 for those Service Station liaisons........

 

Here's the bumpf from Dean....

About John Entwistle

Born in 1944, John Entwistle's names is as synonymous to the bass as Jimi Hendrix is to the guitar, with a career spanning over 40 years and being the bassist to one of rock 'n' roll’s most iconic bands, The Who. The English bass guitarist, singer, songwriter, and film and music producer started his life of music at the young age of 7, taking piano lessons before moving on to the trumpet, then the French horn. It was his second year at school when he met fellow Who guitarist Pete Townsend, and the two ended up forming a trad jazz band together. Not much time after, Entwistle went on to play the bass, mostly due to his large fingers and fondness of the low guitar tones of Duane Eddy, joining the band The Detours which went on to become The Who. Throughout his life, Entwistle's playing style has incorporated fingerstyle, plectrum, tapping, and harmonics, constantly changing techniques between and during songs to create a plethora of sounds. John Entwistle has been nicknamed ''the Ox'' and ''Thunderfingers'' due to the speed of his play, and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1990 alongside The Who.
