any idea what bass i was playing

[dabootsy]

Just found a picture of myself playing a bass that i loved but cannot remember what it was. The photo was taken in around 1985 and i am drawn to the idea that it as a Washburn

Any ideas

I would have said given the period its a Washburn Scavenger bass
- but although they had p type pick-up they didnt normally have 4 knobs

Have you got a bigger picture?

It's definately a Washburn. I think it's a Hawk or a Falcon model.

Falcon and Hawks guitars, certainly part of the same series as this, were made from 78 onwards but cant find a reference to Falcon/Hawk Basses.

Edit - sorry there was a Hawk bass and this looks like one of them - found some which had the same pickup configuration but had an assymetrical double cutaway

Washburn Wing series - more Matsumoku magic.
