Warwick Buzzard JE Signature - Ex Demo

Slightly shop soiled - just minor surface scratches...nothing major. Includes hardcase. Finished in metallic black.

The Buzzard is the brainchild of the bass legend John Entwistle and Warwick founder Hans-Peter Wilfer. The two originally collaborated on this bass in 1985 when John asked for help to create a bass built on his unique ideas of how it should look and play. The wild body shape and neck-through design form a distinctive bass guitar that sounds as extreme as it looks. The exotic appeal doesn't stop there.

The Zebrano body is complemented by an Ovangkol neck with a Wenge fingerboard, complete with numeric fret markers (actual numbers) custom inlaid of paua abalone. And the headstock is unmistakably unique with its inline tuning heads. The Buzzard JE Signature stirs more than just the eyes with its killer pickup configuration. Two pairs of active MEC precision/precision pickups provide ample tonal ranges and nearly infinite possibilities.

Controlled by 2-band active MEC electronics, this commemorative bass is sure to play like butter in the hands of any player. It can handle the stresses of deep, thunderous growls yet can pick up the most gentle of nuances and deliver bright, crisp highs. Warwick's Buzzard JE Signature is a fitting tribute to a truly inspirational bassist that we all miss greatly.
