Here spotted this nice crazy buzzard on the bay

It makes me really sad to see the regular Warwick headstock on there as opposed to the regular Buzzard headstock.

I'm not metal enough.

I'm not Entwistle enuff

I'm not drunk enough.

"The Buzzard is one of the most comfortable bass designs ever. . . "

Said no one ever. . .

i guess it was to much of a hassle to build a reverse one for the lefty version

They only use the proper headstock on the neck-through versions. They definitely do a lefty version of the Buzzard headstock, just not on the bolt-on model. Unless you pay extra and go custom shop, I suppose.

Bolt-on or neck-through, what would be so hard about making the Buzzard headstock either way? Seems to me they'd sell a lot more Buzzards if they offered it on the bolt-on model...

In this case, the standard headstock uglifies the bass, in general. What good is a Buzzard Bass without its long neck and beak? This is being a lazy luthier.

in my opinion, even with the original headstock, it still is a promising contender for
"ugliest bass since fucking ever" .

I'll reserve that comment for the bastardized "Smith" that got yanked from ebay the other day

In the grand scheme of things, there are far uglier basses if you ask me.
