1974 Series 1 on Gbase - The Who!

Came over this one.
 
Definitely has PF-5 electronics, but I didn't think those tailpieces were available as late as 1974??

Wow, cool! It says 'signed by' so I take this wasn't made for J.E.?

Note the brass plate on the front of the bass. It's worth checking with Mica on its provenance; maybe it was made for the Ox.
