Washburn 'Pat Badger' (Extreme) Prototype Signature Bass

[cetera]

Sadly due to a couple of very special high-end purchases and an unhealthy VISA card I’m having to let some of my other basses go….

So what do we have here then?

Well, this is (possibly) one of a kind! Check the web – I’ve never seen another…. Even my contact with Washburn themselves hasn’t provided much more clarification but they believe only a couple were ever made, of which Pat Badger himself has the other!

This bass is Japanese-made, lightweight, and of a beautiful glossy black colour with a bolt-on satin-feel maple neck and rosewood fingerboard. Pickups are active EMG P/J and the scale is 24 fret/34”. The bridge & hardware are heavy duty chrome. Condition is excellent with very little wear/marking - just one paint chip at the back/bottom near the strap button.

Due to its rarity it’s hard to put a value on this bass but I am looking for a very fair *PRICE DROP* £375 bank transfer or cash. NO trades.

Next-day courier for £25 or meet in Central London or Guildford area.

Aah, blast from the past.... Have a bump on me.

Something I found:

Ah yes, I've seen that old ad before, though it say he's playing an XB200 model (which he ISN'T). The pickups/control layout are very different on his prototype sig model to the lesser XB200 production model....

[andy67]

Definitely not playing an XB200. If I recall correctly, the XB200 was pj' style only and second cheapest only to the single p' style xb100. I had an X400 bantam which cost near £499 new in 93' Would be worth mentioning that these are made in the USA instruments. The Washburn-Status MG800 and XB800 collaboration are simply superb and my personal favourites. I miss my old XB400 and would love this however, funds are well short in supply.

Good luck.

Ah..... Looks like this poor badger is up for a cull if a different kind. Good luck with the sale. Awesome bass.

Good morning cetera,

Is your bass is still available? If the answer is yes, could you consider to send over sea? I live in Canada and your bass really turn me on. I bought two bass and a neck from UK on eBay and it was real easy to get ship here. Think about it and I look at your response tomorrow morning (Central Canada time).

Also, I should have mentioned that I am a Talkbass member and I also bought bass from a TB member in the past so you could follow my post on [url="http://www.talkbass.com/forum/f8/official-washburn-club-part-2-a-1026174/"]TB Washburn Club[/url] to get more information on me.
