The Buzzard Bolt-on is the little brother of the elite Buzzard LTD 2003. Origanlly conceived by the late John Entwistle and Warwick founder Hans Peter Wilfer, the Buzzard Bolt-on is a continuation of Warwick's original design that John had asked for in 1985. The uniquely styled body is crafted of zebrano wood with an ovangkol neck and wenge fingerboard complete with the traditional jumbo bell brass alloy frets. The rear, upper "wing" supports the bass giving it surprising balance and comfort yet adds to the incredible appeal of this fine instrument.

As for tone controls in this powerhouse, the pickup and electronic configurations are just as impressive. The 4-string model has 2 pairs of active MEC precision/precision pickups, while the 5-string version sports an active MEC Jazz/Jazz setup. Both versions are equipped with MEC's active 2-band electronics, unleashing the Buzzard Bolt-on's exceptional tonal manipulation characteristics. This beast adapts to any style, able to take a serious pounding, but can detect the lightest of touches. The Buzzard Bolt-on is sure to help you soar to new heights in your bass playing.

4 and 5 string versions available in natural oil finish with gold hardware.
