ash Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 (edited) I bought this recently having always wanted to try one when I was at school. Unfortunately it’s rather heavy for me at 5kgs so having given it some TLC it’s up for grabs. It’s a Japanese made Washburn Scavenger bass with its original case. I doubt you’ll find one in such good condition - apart from the odd finish scratch and tarnish to the brass saddles it is excellent. The pickup looks like a Dimarzio and sounds pretty beefy it’s an incredibly well made bass typical of a Japanese made instrument from this era. It’s all original and the neck is straight and true with lots of life in the frets. It’s been cleaned and set up with a decent set of strings. No trades thanks. I’m happy to post in the UK at buyers cost. Edited July 17, 2020 by ash Sold 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul S Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 Double cutaway perfection. Anyone who wants the Precision bass sound but not the P bass look should hoover this up. As long as you have a strong back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stewblack Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 I give full and fair notice. Anyone thinking of buying this. You have until next Friday. The 17th. If you don't move on it before then I'm afraid @ash will be receiving a formal offer at the full asking price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
