Description
With the full support of the John Entwistle estate, Warwick introduced the Stryker, which is a design that John made popular both with the Who and on his solo projects. The Stryker bass guitar features a mahogany body sandwiched between quilted maple. This neck-thru electric bass comes with a laminated maple neck, ebony fingerboard and custom "Spirit" inlays. This bass is truly a beautiful piece of art.
The Stryker comes loaded with active MEC Gold P-style pickups, installed in the familiar "mirror image" manner that John favored. Inside the control cavity you will find an active MEC 3-band preamp that perfectly supports the blend of spectacular tone woods that this bass features. The Stryker is the total package when it comes to a bass that plays as great as it looks.
