Buzzard 4-String Bass Guitar

The Buzzard was the brainchild of the late 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 based on his unique ideas of how it should look and play. This specific instrument was made for John Entwistle to have as a spare for touring, but he died before it could be delivered.

The untamed body shape and neck-through design form a distinctive bass guitar that sounds as wild as its guise. It also features a killer pickup configuration. Two pairs of active MEC split-coil pickups provide ample tonal ranges and nearly infinite possibilities. Controlled by 2-band active MEC electronics, this 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 is a fitting tribute to a truly inspirational bassist that Hans Peter and all of us will miss.
