properly speaking, its a "Dragon Buzzard".. the blueprint is based on some tweaks i did to a pencil sketch for Roger Smith's Custom Alembic (which was a John Entwistle tribute Buzzard-Variant). I was helping Roger with blueprinting the neck profile, and he later asked for some input in making the body look more curvaceous.
Alembic later took credit for the 'original design' when they made Roger's bass (this was long before the Shamray Bass Custom Shop was in existence) but i can assure you that the body design was Roger's idea! (Alembic did design the headstock for his bass, however i like my own headstock design a lot more...

Hi,
Please will you quote a price for a Dragon Buzzard Bass plus shipping to the UK. I already own a selection of custom made Buzzards including 2 original Warwick Buzzard basses that once belonged to John Entwistle. I also have Alembic, Status and Modulus basses. I play bass for Who's Next? a UK based Who tribute band. See www.whosnextband.co.uk
Kind Regards,
Craig Addecott UK

Well, the exact price would depend on all the details, we make these basses in all different flavors (neck-thru, set-neck, bolt-neck) and the choice of woods, finishes, hardware, pickups, electronics is virtually limitless.
You may email me directly (Michael@Shamray.net) if you'd like to discuss the details
Awesome website, by the way! You guys should bring your show to Moscow - Lots of Who fans here, including me (i've been a devoted WhoFan since about 1974)

Hi Craig, the shop phone is (country code 7) (095) 676-1203
but its best to talk to me directly, and i am not in the shop every day. Anyway, phone service here in Russia is rather primitive, its probably more effective to communicate via email.
I just replied the email you sent me today, advising you that the P-05 eight string prototype was recently sold to a bassist on America.
** If you havent received that email, please advise me with a posting here, and i will contact you using my UK email address (in case the russian one is being spam-blocked for some reason)
For me to give a price on a "standard 4 string" - i will need to know your definition of "standard"
