Title: Entwistle Rigs

All three Stramp/Sunn rigs are listed as for sale,I can't even guess at what they might be asking for one.
There's separate slave amps,drivers,etc. for those on a budget

I actually heard John play through this equipment live at a show . I managed to wrangle myself through the mass of people and squeeze to the front row of the crowd and got a nice blast of sound waves from it .

I do remember really paying attention to Mr. Entwistle's  hand technique. I really made an effort to be able to watch him play . His precise light right hand  technique in particular and his powerful left fingering hand work . Really masterful. I still think about its implementation and delivery in application to my own approach and mix of influences . His technique is definitely in my list KOOL HAND  TOOLS for the Bass Guitar !

Fine player. I spent hours on end as a young-un learning The Real Me verbatim.  
 
/truly a great bassist and musician

Yes , for sure !      Something that I am still going to practice in addition , is just standing there like Mr. Entwistle so calm and kool with the thunder and lightning happening . When I see videos of my own playing I sometimes feel like telling that bass player  Stand still , Wolf !    LOL !   (Perhaps that is my father's presence haunting me , that I sense saying that . ) MIGHT BE !

Cool,
 Looks like they were happy with that take.
There's a semi clear shot of his conn tuner at the end, I'll have to watch the rest of those songs
to see if there's any shots close enough to verify that the one I have on my leslie is the one we have seen
over Johns shoulder many times. ;)
