Review Warwick Buzzard "the Buzztard" Custom Shop

Review:

What shall I say? I had a dream and yes, they built it! The writings on this bass are still unique in Warwick history, also the 2016 electronics in a 2015 compartment. Perfect balance because of the thinner neck, the security lock position and the Ultralite tuners.

Check the vids! ;-)

See the bass here still without the additional "Gibson style" toggle switch for active/"passive" mode and without second compartment on the backside. Sounds: The SiKS - "The gamble", played with a Warwick Infy LTD:
