I think they are pretty cool. And uh, er, why has it been sitting in your closet?

'02 Fender Telecaster Classic 60. The guy wanted $250 but noticed it was missing the pickup selector knob so knocked $20 off. Got the replacement at Harry's Guitar Shop for $1.58.

Haha Staffan, what I meant with the Entwistle remark is that lots of people want an instrument just like their favorite artist.
So if Entwistle would've done that to an EB0 I'm pretty sure there would be lots of bass players that would want one, yes.
It's not up to me to decide. But for BaCH it's only interesting if they can expect a demand for such a bass.
I'm afraid you may be one of very few on this planet who wants such a bass
Leon Wilkeson got his Fenderbird from John Entwistle.

Hence the 5000 different Fender Signature models...

Now that's an interesting bit of trivia regarding that Fenderbird! I wonder who has it now.

There are several Fenderbirds worldwide. It is a legendary design made famous by John Entwistle.
I have never seen a long scale 59 style EBO with Tbird bridge/tailstop and Tbird pickup.

I think I saw a video of a Lynyrd Skynryd live performance and it looked to me like Leon Wilkeson had a NR Fenderbird. This was a while back and it took me a while to figure out what the hell it was.

Roman emailed me this morning and told me I'd get an invoice today. I'm using earthlink and when I first emailed him I put my address in the body of the email as well and he's had no problems emailing back.

The non reverse has been the most popular of the rare Gibsons for a long long time, first in the Pit, from then on. It has to be the most requested basses to be re-issued here and previously.
Rob you should do a poll.

A couple of months ago I saw this one on eBay, thought about it for a couple of hours, went back to bid on it and it was gone. It's a '90s Epiphone NR reissue. I'm still kicking myself for not hitting it faster.

I'm actually in F-V, a bit south of Raleigh.
I've heard a bit of their first album - kind of amp'd up Knitters. Very cool stuff.

Did you get a chance to see X last week? His vocals are still strong and he had that 'ol P-Bass thumpin' the house.
I've been waiting since '81 to see these guys and was kinda prepared to be let down.. They rocked.

Ah, good old Fuquay-Varina... Nah, I didn't get a chance to see X, although I wanted to. Yet another something I should have gotten off my butt for!

Heh, I emailed Roman this morning who emailed me immediately. I can still get a BaCHbird as long as it's black or blue, so I've signed on for a black one.
