John Entwistle - '65 Ventures Model Bass

[Bushers]

I was watching a Who documentary last week and spotted John Entwistle playing a '65 Ventures Model Bass. Apparently from this site, they say he used it;

1965 Mosrite Ventures bass:

:As seen in promo video for The Kids Are Alright.
:Used on stage (unknown time period).
:Reportedly used on The Who Sell Out studio sessions.

Click on the link for The Kids Are Alright to see it in action!!

Theres a picture of him on that site with it too;

COOL! Kinda has that British Invasion sound. Where's Dennis?

As for the bass in the video, something just isn't right. The pickup's and pickguard are not Mosrite. I can't read the name on the headstock, but I'm curious if it is in fact a Mosrite bass or is that a clone?

Click on page#4, go 6 posts down, and there's the youtube.
.......darn! I'm Good!!

p.s. John never played a Bass that he didn't modify. It IS a real
'63 or'64 Bass with the oversize lettering of "The Ventures" and
the big "M" of mosrite is to the left of the E and G strings. He modified
the Bass with Rickenbacker Pickups and a changed P'Guard.
