Members bassman1956 Posted March 14, 2009 Members Share Posted March 14, 2009 I like! But sorry, I don't know anything about it. I know Washburns sometimes get dissed here, but I've liked the few I've tried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Cliff Fiscal Posted March 14, 2009 Author Members Share Posted March 14, 2009 Looks like one sold on TB for $325 last year. So if it stays at $350, it would be a decent deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members gonzobassman Posted March 14, 2009 Members Share Posted March 14, 2009 The only good thing I saw about that bass is it has 5 strings. Get it and join an outlaw country band!!! There was a guy in here the other day looking for 5 string bass players,and he would probably snap you right up with that bass. I mean after all,it looks like a huge chew spit with a neck!

Members Perfessor Posted March 14, 2009 Members Share Posted March 14, 2009 There are Washburns and there are Washburns. The ones over 300 bucks are all made pretty well. I'd never part with mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Perfessor Posted March 15, 2009 Members Share Posted March 15, 2009 it has eden electrics?any good? Washburn bought out Eden a few years ago. I'm sure it's a nice bass. The necks on those are jazz bass width I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Bryan316 Posted March 16, 2009 Members Share Posted March 16, 2009 Great look to it. But I don't trust that chinsy neck joint to give you much sustain or stability. Why people make such minimal joints lacking surface area or good resistance to leverage and tension, I'll never know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Darkstorm Posted March 16, 2009 Members Share Posted March 16, 2009 Looks to be lacking the extended neck joint they started useing in the 80's when they introduced the abt series. Top looks damaged/blemished worn like used bass in places on side edge. Blemished stock? Agrees with Bryan about neck joint, is substandard for washburn imo.

Members Bryan316 Posted March 16, 2009 Members Share Posted March 16, 2009 ESP and Tobias and Laggan and Spector have great bolt-on necks. Sturdy, stable, and good sustain. Also not a square chopped off block for a neck heel like Fenders. Horrible for comfortable playing up high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members The Fury Posted March 16, 2009 Members Share Posted March 16, 2009 Fixed. not everyone needs a neck through bass with ultra rare exotic woods and 3 batterys running a preamp with full eq and all that other fancy {censored} i cant think of atm that said, point taken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members FloydianAnimal Posted March 16, 2009 Members Share Posted March 16, 2009 Looks kinda like a Warwick design to me- especially the bridge. I dunno, it's kinda cool I guess... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bryan316 Posted March 16, 2009 Members Share Posted March 16, 2009 Not every bass needs to be a thru-neck. I just greatly prefer their construction and sustain and comfort. Some people don't need it and don't care about it. But this auction is for a sub-standard bass, flat out. My friend had a GREAT 4-string Washburn, excellent bolt-on neck, great tone, comfy as hell. He wanted to sell it to me, but at the time definitely didn't need it. I say, keep looking for a better Washburn. They're around.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
