FS/FT/PX Status Buzzard B2 £2500 Whitstable

[Beedster]

Bought it, love it, but not really a 'me' bass. I'd love a BC member who's passionate about either Entwistle, The Who, or Status to have this bass, but if not it'll go to a shop on consignment sale (at the £2,500 Basschat price I'm taking a bit of a hit on what it owes me). I'm happy to talk trades/PX but would certainly prefer cash. If the former, I'm looking for a biggie by Mesa; 400, Prodigy/Strategy, Titan etc, but could have arm twisted by other aesthetically pleasing music/audio gear, you know how I roll 

 

I won't waste your time with a lengthy description, anyone interested in buying this knows the score. I'd welcome tryouts chez Beedster, and am happy to post worldwide. I'll take some detailed photos over the next couple of days. There's still a minor issue with the switchable mid pot to be resolved but apparently it's an easy fix and I will get that done

 

 

 

 

There's a thread about it that veers off into Cold War bombers Basschat style. As I mentioned, the circuit issues are largely resolved now

Sad you can’t go forward with this fabulous instrument Chris - GLWTS!

It reminds me a bit of an Overwater Original. I guess there is a common thread  of John Entwistle running through both designs.

Lovely and unusual bass, good luck with the sale.

What a bass! Sorry it’s not for you buddy, looks killer. GLWTS mate

Lovely basses these, surprisingly adaptable to any style with that pre amp.

 

 

It has the advantage of having Buzzard on the headstock unlike the later ones too.

Re adaptable, absolutely, it’s like a Modulus Flea on steroids. And I bloody love that headstock, there’s something a bit Grim Reaper about it 👍

Well, I'm an Entwistle/Who obsessive, so that's a start! I wish I was in a position to make you an offer 😔

And I wish I could afford to sell it for less mate 👍
