Washburn XB925

[ape]

Just curious to if anyone has got one or owned one?, I really like the look of them and from the very few clips I could find on youtube sound nice, I've owned a XB400 and was a really good bass, just wondering what peoples opinions are,

TalkBass has a few reviews posted. All positive. Got a soft spot for Washburns myself.
Good prices to be had for buyers too.

Yeah from what I've seen when they do show up they seem to go fairly cheap, just finding one in the first place and having some cash at the same time lol

It's always a problem Ape. I just found out today Butler Music in the US is doing
Washburn Stu Hamm 5er's for $450 inc shipping and import tax,about £300 to
us.

This being the same week I shelled out for a Curbow and a Couple of Retrovibes.

Ain't that the way of things.

Oh yes, lot's of stuff seems to be from the US at the minute including the emg pre amp system I want but postage and customs charges is a bit of a killer usually

Ape what Pre amp system are you after ? I don't know if you've looked at Thomann

They're not that cheap but no import tax or that.
