Ever heard of these? another Peter Cook link - he used to build some ranges, and here's John Entwistle with one the same as one that's up for sale on eBay for a starting bid of £1000...!

I never knew that Bo Diddley designed headstocks!

Ned Callan: I've seen those adverts with JAE on that bass posing for a Simms-Watt amp, but I've never seen pics of him performing live with it. I think it was a short romance.

And about the second bass: JAE called this the puzzle bass.

... as in, "It's a puzzle why anyone ever bought one..."

[Chris P.]

Hmmm.. knowing JAE's good taste of humour that could be the case:)

[Basvarken]

Or as in: "it's a puzzle I can't put down".



Anyway, I kinda like it.

Isn't there some quote from or about JE along the lines of endorsing anything they paid him enough for? Of course I could be way off...
