Bought from Shaker in July 12..Enjoyed every minute but now I'm struggling with 6 strings...Immensely playable - probably the best neck I've ever used...100% functional and in good nick other than the body - originally finished with wood dye [ guess] and as is the norm, has faded/worn..quite easy to refinish no doubt..Here's a link to the original thread,hope Shaker doesn't mind.......NOW TRADED.......................................................................................................................http://basschat.co.uk/topic/181676-sold-washburn-xb600-6-string-bass-with-duncan-stc-3-preamp/page__p__1739922__hl__washburn__fromsearch__1#entry1739922......................................................................................................................
