Buzzard Bass Guitars

Here's a nice version of Little Wing. The original song was written by Jimi Hendrix, but this version takes an interesting take on it with stunning vocals and Duane Allman (from The Allman Brothers) on slide guitar. 



This undoubtedly one of the most interesting and eccentric basses I've ever seen. It's definitely characterized by the carbon-fiber finish and the distinctive headstock, not to mention the roman numeral inlays. The active electronics for the humbucking pickups give it an edgy sound. Just look at all the controls...
It's only fitting that one of the most original bassists to grace rock with his rumbling basslines designed it. 
John Entwistle is also known for his explorer-styled bass. 
The natural finish with gold hardware is quite aesthetic, but like the custom Alembic Dragon's Wing.
Alembic is well-known for their meticulous, handmade custom basses. 
I think it's a crime not to give those thru-bodies natural finishes... the "racing stripes" look excellent.
