This is my (very) bright red Washburn XB-600, which I am selling to aid my 'Ricky Acquisition Fund'.

As you can see it is a bolt on model with JJ type pickups, and J Bass string spacing.

The good bits

It plays fantastically well, has a low. buzz free, action, set up by Jim Fleeting, and is currently strung with D'Addario 25-130 Nickels
It has a Seymour Duncan STC-3 preamp, with Volume (with the pull 'Slap' switch), Blend, T&B (on concentric pots) and Mid. All pots (except Volume) have centre detents. (That's nearly £80 worth of preamp!)

The bad bits

The body looks like it has had an interesting life. To be fair you would never need to worry about scratching it:)
The pickups are quite a low output. That said the SD preamp turns this into a tone-monster!

In summary

Sounds fantastic, looks characterful. A highly cost effective 6 string.

This has no case but I will pack it very well. You will need to arrange collection or courier from Kent.

Happy to answer any questions

These are amazing basses and also quite rare to have the matching headstock!
I had the newer 'Bantam' version for 6 years and loved it.
