Washburn XB500 5 string bass £280 Swanley (Junction 3 of the M25)

[bass_dinger]

1998 XB500.

 

This Korean-made Washburn was manufactured in 1999 (according to the Serial Number).   

An active bass with twin humbuckers, a pan-pot selects a variable mix of the pickups, and we have Volume, Bass and Treble controls.

 

Translucent green / teal finish, that is largely intact apart from a few minor surface scratches, and a tiny dent.  The stuck truss rod was recently fixed (unstuck) by a well-known Basschat luthier. 

 

I shared details of the bass in a few threads - in the interests of transparency, here are the links:

Prefer having the item picked up (not least so that the buyer can try before buying). 

 

No strap with the bass, I'm afraid.  However, I may be able to source and add a tired but usable Hiscox hard case to the mix for an extra £40, and will post it for free.

Actually a 1999 bass, not a 1998; photos included

Lovely colour! Do you know the weight and string spacing perchance? Thanks. 

[bass_dinger]

@Raslee  The weight is 4.334 kilograms = 9.555 pounds.

 

To my embarrassment, I am unsure how to measure the string spacing. Do these photos help?

45mm nut width.
