Thunderbird IV (serial no. 160065)
1964
Gibson
This is one of two Thunderbird IV basses that served as John Entwistle's primary stage and studio instruments from 1971 to 1975; it was used to record Quadrophenia (1973) and Who by Numbers (1975). The other example was accidentally destroyed by Who drummer Keith Moon when he knocked it over, breaking the neck off, while exiting the stage at a July 1971 concert in Forest Hills, New York; Entwistle then smashed it to pieces. |
