She told me how hard was to hunt them down, but the meat was tasty! "Transportation Room. One to beam up." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I won the lottery the thing I would do would be to commission a replica but with Kent Armstrong pickups. Same here, but with parallel necks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bass_dinger Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 (edited) For me, a fretless Washburn XB500 (5 string). Washburn made about a dozen fretless basses spread across the 4 5 and 6 string range, and all went to Japan. Also a factory fretless xb925 (I have only ever seen one for sale, in the USA), and a fretted xb925 (one was for sale in the UK on basschat.co.uk but the neck had been swapped out when it developed a fault).

The day before I posted my list, I found two for sale on Facebook. 11 days after, I have a courier date, and just need to pay the fee. I am normally quite "meh" about basses - I like the ones I like, and so long as they both work, I have no real interest in anything else (apart from those unicorn basses!). So, thanks to @nilorius, I spoke what I wanted - and it arrived! I am excited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I bought the fretted Washburn XB925, it came with a second XB925, with a neck so bent that it was unrepairable, and in bits. So, I ordered a new fretless neck from the same person who ran the Custom Shop when that bass was made. So, as close to factory as I can get. Second Unicorn incoming! Well done @nilorius!
