[edit] Notable players
Veteran bass players Jack Bruce and the late John Entwistle have played and endorsed Warwick basses and both players have had custom-made signature models made by Warwick. Bruce has the Jack Bruce Custom and Entwistle, the LTD Buzzard. In 2005, Warwick introduced the John Entwistle Stryker, a replica of his custom design bass used during his Who days. Warwick also produced the Jack Bruce Limited Edition "Cream Reunion" bass.This model was based on his original Gibson EB3 bass which he used during the recent Cream reunion shows. Also, Jonas Hellborg has recently had a "signature" model made for him, consisting of a semi Acoustic bass. The design is somewhat similar to his Wechter "Roman" bass, and he has taken to using these basses on tour as of 2006.
