RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 (edited) Washburn basses are awesome, have you done image search on google? Sometimes a link will give you info. You may even find old ad. Keep it . Edited March 23, 2013 by RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PURPOLARIS Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 I've got a Washburn acoustic bass which I absolutely love. I haven't tried any of their electric gear but if the build quality is the same I'd imagine it's a great bass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul S Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 (edited) I had a Scavenger bass and it was a really lovely instrument - beautifully made. At the time I was going through a mid 80s MIJ thing and this was up there, I'd say - better than most of the Westone Thunders etc. I would imagine if this is the same kind if vintage it will also be nice. I recall a former poster on this board and King of the JapCrap, Bassassin, was particularly enamoured of a Washburn Force 4 bass.

Shockwave Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Washburn B-80, made in Japan. Fairly rare but not very valuable. Price would be between £150-£225 depending on condition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
