is the buzzard the perfect bass for me?

[nik]

i have been thinking of how awesome the buzzard is and im pretty sure it is absoloutly perfect for me!

my right hand technique is a 3 fingered attack, which i usually am needing to raise my elbow up a bit for. and the large wing i think would rest my arm in the perfect position.

the tone is a solid rock tone, with enough balls and enough clarity too

and it looks killer! although my singer said that it looks like a dead chicken haha.

so let me know what you all think!
also what are the differences in tone between the BO and the NT JE signature version.

The buzzard is a perfect bass, period, not just for you, mate!

If you like it, go for it!

Nah, dive the waves mate, the Dolphin is the perfect bass.....

Hey nik, I've tried most of the basses when I was to Markneukirchen, and the JE Buzzard was my favourite. In sound terms it was something like SSII meets Rickenbacker. Round, warm, fat rock sound.

thanks, im really keen on trying it myself.

but in regards to the large wing, will that work as a slightly raised arm rest?

That's certainly how John Entwistle used it!

Well,

at least test drive the bass if possible. You never know for sure whether you're going to like the bass as much as you would like............I have to admit, I do buy stuff without testing first........... :roll:
