JAEbird ( 'jaybird' ) CUSTOM "FenderBird"
The original Fenderbird bass. Originally built by Peter Cook for John Entwistle (JAE) of The Who, combining Gibson hardware/pickups, Fender Precision necks and custom designed mahogany bodies to create a more balanced, ergonomic and durable Thunderbird style bass after Keith Moon broke one of his Thunderbirds. John Entwistle coined the name 'FenderBird '
This is a very close replica of that bass.
