The other day I saw a photo of Entwistle playing a Ric. Was that before he switched to the P?

I think it was the top photo. With short hair, no beard and the Ric, you'd almost not recognize him as JAE!

Darrol (Big D Bassist) may be the youngest. He's still in his early 20s.

If I'm not mistaken he ditched the Ric because he couldn't get the action low enough for his taste, after installing high tension Roto's.
