*Sold on behalf of the estate of Keith Hyde. Keith purchased the bass from a music store in Hounslow, London, UK. Keith was told by the store owner, that the guitar had previously belonged to John Entwistle of The Who. Being a fan of the band, Keith jumped at the opportunity to add this guitar to his collection. 

Following ownership, when Keith took the bass apart, he found a note concealed inside inscribed "SN 376250 - If found please return to John Entwistle c/o "The Who" - a reward will be offered. Please contact our London office on 4998686. This original note is included in the sale.
