Members TheDude15k Posted May 31, 2005 Members Posted May 31, 2005 I was looking around and noticed the XB925 and now im interested. I used to own an XB series before. it was not a US one though, and had the MM pickup in it, i cant remember the model name at all, i think it was a xb-2002 or something. but it wasnt that great. But yeah, anyone have any experience with one? build quality, sound, B string tension? -rob-
Members januaryscar Posted May 31, 2005 Members Posted May 31, 2005 Rob Trujillo from Metallica uses them (i think). So listen to his live tone... I used to have a korean one... easy to play, but no tonal 'character'.
Members PrestiaRules Posted May 31, 2005 Members Posted May 31, 2005 I think Trujillo is playing Fernandes now... I played an USA XB at Steves in Toronto years ago (when I was upgrading from a XB 400...it was pretty nice but too much $$$ at the time.
Members TheDude15k Posted May 31, 2005 Author Members Posted May 31, 2005 from what i remember Robert Trujillo has always either played his Tobias or Fernandes basses and more recently a Zon. This particular model is kinda pricey, around $1,000, but i wouldnt mind paying that at all if its worth it. im really liking the look of it, esp. the zebra wood version. friggin sexy! -robert-
Members NeonVomit Posted May 31, 2005 Members Posted May 31, 2005 If my Korean Washburn is anything to go by, the USA models must totally kick ass. Mine is lovely and solid with a fat, Fat, FAT tone. Really love it. The USA ones with Bartolini pickups should be amazing.
Members Perfessor Posted May 31, 2005 Members Posted May 31, 2005 I own a Washburn T24 neckthrough bass. It's passive and is made out of mahogany. It's an absolutely beautiful instrument and sounds smooth. I played an XB920 at Pro Audio in Cleveland and it was a very nice bass, great tone and just-right comfortable. I'm going to order one myself in Zebrawood later this year.
