CPBass Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 (edited) NOW £ 1500 My very rare and simply amazing bass is up for grabs. Warwick Stryker Mahogany. A very rare opportunity to own a bass made in collaboration with the John Entwistle Estate to celebrate his contribution to the world of Bass and his design relationship with the Warwick bass company in Germany. Made in very little numbers this bass is the Mahogany version which has awesome mahogany wings on a Maple and Ebony striped through neck. The resonance given off by this bass has to to felt to be believed, its almost alive!!! The headstock is another rare feature as these were issued with the standard Warwick paddle headstock but a very small number were given the 'Entwistle Beak' which makes this bass not only ultra sexy but a true rarity. It has Gold hardware and sports the not so standard 3 band EQ MEC reverse P pick up configuration. The bass is currently strung with brand new Optima 24ct Gold Strings as used by The Ox himself. It plays fast and strong with a great evenness of tone across the strings. It balances perfectly with no 'neck dive' and this is one serious bass that cuts through the mix like an absolute beast and much like its partner in crime (The Buzzard) can offer devastating tones alongside light nuances and harmonics. The bass is in excellent play worn condition with very slight marking and evidence of the neck strap pin being moved. Warwick say: With the full support of the John Entwistle estate, Warwick is proud to introduce the Stryker, which is a design that John made popular both with the Who and on his solo projects. The Stryker features a mahogany body and neck-thru design. This bass is truly a beautiful piece of art. Art that rocks, that is! The Stryker comes loaded with active MEC Gold P-style pick-ups, installed in the familiar “mirror image” manner that John favored. Inside the control cavity you will find an active MEC 3-band preamp that perfectly supports the blend of spectacular tone woods that this bass features. The Stryker is the total package when it comes to a bass that plays as great as it looks. Weighs just under 11lbs on my electronic scales & comes equipped with a Warwick gigbag and strap locks. Value on a trade this bass should be around the £2k mark but im happy to go with a price drop to £1600 Im looking for an interesting 4, 5 or 6 string bass.....Warwick , Mike Lull, Spector kind of thing This bass is a killer and is only available because Ive got a flock of Buzzards and they are very similar except for the ergonomics. http://s1189.photobucket.com/user/Col4string/library/Warwick%20Stryker Edited January 27, 2014 by Buzzardist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thunderbird Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Now this just should still not be here I would of had it if I had £1750 and you could guarantee me that I would be as good as Dave Ellefson lol GLWTS mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPBass Posted November 20, 2013 Author Share Posted November 20, 2013 Ellefsons' lines would sound great on this. In fact James Lomenzo tried to use his Buzzard in Megadeth but he was stopped by Mr Mustaine due to its bizarre looks lol. He had Warwick knock up a couple of these instead. These have a Megadeth heritage ;-) Don't forget the price is negotiable...within reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattbass6 Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 (edited) I can't believe this hasn't gone yet. If I was into 4 string basses, I'd have this living out my Who dreams.

CPBass Posted November 28, 2013 Author Share Posted November 28, 2013 Thank you for the kind words. Should you decide you want to trade the Lull drop me a message :-) We could talk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattbass6 Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 You're welcome matey and the Lull is sold Good luck. It will go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPBass Posted November 30, 2013 Author Share Posted November 30, 2013 (edited) Just for clarity on this bass offer. The only reason its available is that Im in serious need of a 5 string. Im not really looking to switch her as my 4 string cup overflows. If you've got a sexy fiver sitting around and you've got some Entwistle in your blood then this could well be the bass for you. Its a real killer. Thank you for all offers to date. Cheers Col Edited November 30, 2013 by Buzzardist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
