pn_day Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 (edited) Washburn 4 string fretless bass. This is a fretless bass (often called the cricket bat) that is super light and fun to play. According to the serial number it is from 1984, Japanese made. It is an early 80s unlicensed copy of the Steinberger basses of the time, but is made from wood. Supports either double ball end or standard strings. I believe that under the antique paint there is a through body neck, and it certainly has lots of sustain. I've spent a fair bit of time getting the fingerboard flatter and it now plays nicely. This is the one I tend to play most around the house. It comes with the original soft case. This has a few nicks on the back of the neck and body due to it's age, but is very comfortable to play, and is very compact for travelling. As with the Yamaha bass that I'm also selling, I'm only parting with this to raise funds for a new fretless 5 string. It's difficult, but my wife has spoken!
