This series bass is on eBay. The owner, Kevin Thomson, played with The Sweet Comfort Band.
Several of us in The Club are interested in buying it.
Can you tell us more?
Thanks,
Bill

Val,

Thank you for the quick response.

It has side LED's. Wouldn't that be on the build sheet?

Any truth to the story that this was built for Entwistle, but was never picked up?

Thanks,
Bill

Hi Bill,

nothing about side LEDs on the file, but on a Series II LEDs are generally there; Mica said that it was more than likely that it had them but we did not write that down in the file; I don't know about the John Entwistle part. I ran the story past Susan and she could not rememeber anything along those lines. It's possible, although by then Entwistle was ordering mostly Exploiters.
