Washburn b-8

Really like the looks of this bass:

Me too. I'd say it is about £150 too dear, though.

[wotsy]

Yeh I thought 300 seemed a bit steep.

Was just going to post the exact same thing!

That's a two-pickup version of a Force 8 BBR:

£300 is somewhat steep, he'd realistically get £200-ish in a straight £1 start auction, I should think.

I do love the BBR colour scheme but it's so 80s it hurts!

Oh - price now dropped to £270 - looks like someone's earwigging!

Still too dear, if you're listening....

If you drop it down to, let's say 130-ish, you might have a buyer!

Last man standing... I'd go all the way up to, oooh, £150...

Jon - active? The bass, not you.

I want no part of this so-called "activity"! Too much like hard work... The through-neck Force 40 in the Washburn ad has 2-band parametric eq so this might be the same although it looks like it lacks one of the switches.

Looks like the seller's correct about the model number - after uncharacteristically paying attention I noticed the actual bass itself is in this catalogue pic:

No info on the circuitry, though.

Ta. Nice thing. If it were £150 in Crack Converters I'd probably buy it!
