Stuart Zender is best known as the bassist and co-founder of the acid-jazz-band Jamiroquai. Currently, he"s working with his own band Leroi and with prominent artists like Mark Ronson. In harmony with his personalized style of playing, Zender wanted a unique shape for his Warwick signature bass and the Warwick Custom Shop willingly complied. The shape of the Stuart Zender signature bass features two unique "horns," unlike any other Warwick model. The body is made of two-piece Ash with a top of AAA French Flamed Ash (which also adorns the headstock as a veneer). The instrument has an elegant, Nirvana Black Oil finish and the gold hardware adds a subtle contrast. The Ovangkol neck has a Tiperstripe Ebony fingerboard with 24 frets and "S Z" inlays at the 12th fret. Active MEC P/J pickups are used and can fully deploy the tonal capabilities of the Stuart Zender bass by means of an active 3-band-EQ (MEC as well). The control layout has been modeled after the standard Streamer bass.
