Some other Entwistle solo albums have photos or illustrations of him with a
bass, including So Who's The Bass Player and Left for Live--usually a custom
Alembic or Buzzard as that's what he was playing when he did most of his
solo recordings.

of cooperation that the group wants. It gives them the "moral authority"

WHOOPS.
Try again, apologies for errant finger twitch.
Yes, and what's worse is (was), we little people labored under the
impression that this was "proper", "the way it was supposed to be",
etc. etc.
BTW, Gibsons had humbucker PUPs, mostly, not shielding. I don't
remember, for instance, any cavity shielding in my old Melody Maker

Please cite your sources....I wonder how many illegals (on road crews

raid...Talk about misplaced priorities...

'We' might not have known, but Fender should have known - after all he
was a radio engineer and, well, Gibson's were *always* properly shielded
- as were other contemporary brands - so there really wasn't much
excuse.
So, shielding a 'vintage' Fender to make it work properly as an
instrument reduces its value?

This depends entirely on whether any actual impropriety has occured, and
if so whether or not Henry knew about it.
As soon as Gibson was raided Henry would feel obliged to stand down
until the allegations were cleared up. This remains true even if he
believes every splinter of wood in the factory is kosher.

And, you say, they "hang over" the end of the neck... ?
And obscure the adj. nut?
And you don't use them... ?
(Whistles softly into the air, kinda shuffles his feet around, looks
up a the sky, maybe hums a little tune...)
Well, maybe you'll use them someday, and they'll be important...

Only when I'm testing the instrument, never to play a song. Just
another good idea that is functionally useless.

The adjuster is located at the bottom of the neck and simply not
visible because of the fretboard overhang that gives two additonal
frets.
