  1. Hi all. Up for sale is my Warwick Buzzard Ltd Edition Bass. Hans Peter Wilfer confirmed to me that my bass is one of an initial 25-30 made after John Entwistle's untimely death. The serial number is 2003/10 - indicating it is number 10 from 2003. The pictures speak for themselves - the zebrano wood forming the body is outrageously beautiful and the bass is indeed capable of any tone you may require. It is strung with Optima 24 carat gold strings. It also comes fully flightcased. I suspect postage and insurance will be around £60 - £80 Parcelforce, cheaper if insurance not required. I love this bass, but need cash for an imminent buy. £1900 cash/chq/Paypal (add 3%) - which is what I paid for it off Jimijimi. Thanks for looking. The Buzzard was created in by Warwick founder Hans-Peter Wilfer working in close collaboration with John Entwistle. 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. And the headstock is unmistakably unique with its inline tuning heads. The Buzzard Ltd Edition 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 is a fitting tribute to a truly inspirational bassist that we all miss greatly.

  2. [quote name='bassmeg' post='527943' date='Jun 29 2009, 05:59 PM']Is the neck original? Its the first i have seen with a standard headstock, not that ive seen many mind you. Outrageous bass! And price it seems.[/quote] Yeah it's an original neck. Warwick made bolt on and NT versions.......
  3. Beautiful bass. I have an Alembic Exploiter and I have never looked back. Are you sure you wanna sell this!!!?!!!!
  4. [quote name='Chris2112' post='521148' date='Jun 22 2009, 08:58 PM']That price is outrageously low![/quote] Well I guess so, but I want it sold. If anyone wants to offer me more...... Seriously though there are no catches - it is mint.
  5. [quote name='Schnozzalee' post='521143' date='Jun 22 2009, 08:52 PM']Hi, Where are you based?[/quote] I'm in Manchester...as is the Buzzard!
  6. Hi all. For sale is my beautiful BO Warwick Buzzard - it is a year old and absolutely mint. It has exactly the same hardware and electronics as the NT version, so sound wise you can get the same as the NT. It comes with a Warwick gig bag etc. It is priced to sell and I AM NOW ASKING FOR £775!!! - post is free to U.K. Warwick do not make these for general sale any more so it has the potential to become quite collectable in the future - it is only available thru' the custom shop and that would cost a lot! Of course it comes strung with the 24 carat gold Optima strings! Anyway enough of my jibber jabber - I'll let the pictures do the talking!

  7. Any pics of the headstock? Thanks!
  8. [quote name='niceguyhomer' post='435930' date='Mar 16 2009, 11:43 AM']I've only had this about a month and it really is a beauty but I have to sell it to finance another bass. It plays and sounds absolutely superbly and I can't see a single mark on it. It has gold reverse tuners on it. Would like to get as close as poss to £300 which is what I paid for it. Will deliver within reasonable distance / meet halfway. Comes in a Fender gig bag. More pics on request. [/quote] More pics please... Especially the headstock. Thanks!
