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.
