Brooks Fenderbird

<< < (3/3)

Basvarken:
About last night:
The other day I was approached by Jimi Crutchley (Quireboys) regarding the Brooks Fenderbird I had built.
He is on a world tour as tour manager with Glenn Hughes. And yesterday the caravan visited De Boerderij in Zoetermeer for Glenn's Deep Purple show. Which is only an hours drive from where I live.
Jimi invited me to the soundcheck to put the Brooks Fenderbird through its paces, over Glenn's bass system.

Jimi turns out to be a huge John Entwistle fanatic. And for years he had been looking for a good Fenderbird like the one Peter Cook built for John Entwistle. He had previously bought one from another builder, but that one was very disappointing.
Jimi is very happy that he has finally found a good Fenderbird!
