Buzzard style???

[Mr M]

If this looks like a buzzard as the seller is telling, I can acclaim that I look like Brad Pitt (at least we have the same amount of nose, eyes, etc )

"I think John Entwistle himself would have liked this guitar himself!" Oh lord, I believe he is turning in his grave...

"I compare this bass to my Alembic". Sure, the EMG-Hz's are known to beat any Alembic out there

[dreadheadbass]

agreed the guy built it himself so kudos to him i hate the look of it but you can see from the pictures its well made
i think the wood trussrod cover is a nice touch i hate thos horrid plastic ones

" I first started out

with the silouette of the John Entwistle design Buzzard and after many hours

I was left with what I felt was my custom design. I reshaped the body into

what I feel is a truly comfortable bass to play, either sitting or standing. What

I have started the price of this bass guitar does not even come close to all the

time and effort it took to draw up and design and build one of these custom

one-of-a-kind bass guitars. "



So he's claiming the time and effort the people at Alembic took when designing the Dragon's Wing was his own? OK, he did do the upper horn as a singlecut, but If it took him more than 3 seconds to think of that innovation he's pretty slow. The other differences in the body style are more just not being good enough to get the subtleties.

It might be a nice bass, it might be worth the money, but the seller did not dream this shape up.

That neck really reminds me of an ESP, the headstock looks like its an ESP head stock with the top cut a little, and the inlay reminds of what ESP does with the model name at the 12 fret.

Looks decent, but how would you know how it balanced/sounded etc?

 

[ROON]

I like it, wild without being insane like the Dragons Wing (Buzzard).
I don't know, I reckon JE would have rocked that.

And yes, that is an ESP neck.

Nah, I think JE would have been perfectly content rocking out on his $20 000 basses.
