Interview with Rick Turner on John Entwistle's Alembics

[sonicnuance]

Hi Everyone,
I recorded an interview with the great Rick Turner about the instruments he built for the late John Entwistle. I went to Rick's shop in Santa Cruz where Rick gave me a tour. I have to say this turned out to be a very insightful discussion. As a huge John Entwistle fan, this was a real treat for me!

Hope you enjoy,
Thanks,

P.S. I'd love feedback on the interview.
P.P.S. For those who don't know, John Entwistle was the bassist for the Who

Thanks! I'm getting ready to give this a look. It looks like it is out of print now, but I have this photo book with some really great photo's of his entire collection. Somewhere around 150 or so basses and guitars if I recall!

I have that book! Fun to read and see the collection. Another amazing book (not strictly bass oriented) is The Steve Howe Guitar Collection. I am looking forward to the Geddy Lee "version" soon to be released.

I have met with Rick a couple of times at his old shop in Topanga Canyon, and his current one in Santa Cruz.

Wow, thanks. Both of those sound interesting. I will take a look for sure!
