Someone posted this at the Warwick forum. My Warwick contacts don't know it either, but it is a Stryker/Buzzard headstock and the rest is very Warwick-ish too. At first I didn't like it, but now I'm getting used to it:)

That's an interesting look...

I kind of like it. It's so ugly it went all the way around to almost looking cool again!

Isn't this model called the non-rev Explorer?

Well, at Warwick a 'normal' Explorer bass, which you could call a 'reverse' model, is called Stryker. So this could be called a non-reverse Stryker. Bu I have never seen a Dean, Gibson, or whatever in such a shape.

The explorer shape is irreversible.

I now see Gibson made one once:

Not sure I like at all, definitely not a comfortable player IMO...

Followed Chris' link and wandered off into an ugly "reverse V" site and on to this...

Something "ergonomic" for women called an "ORCHID"... a direct link below...

This actually looks much better on him- That Warwick looks silly to me.

Chris P. · « **Reply #13 on:** July 14, 2009, 07:31:09 AM »

I checked some pictures and for this tour Clayton uses the RD a Rivoli or EB2, this reversed Stryker, a Warwick Streamer and some Fenders and/or Laklands.
