Lots of great looking basses. Maybe Washburn were what Cort is now? -
Where are all those Washburn basses?
adriansmith247 replied to adriansmith247's topic in Bass Guitars
These Washburn basses are a lot better than I remember them being. I just remember Washburn making cheap basses but maybe I was wrong. The shop I used to frequent in the 90s was full of them that one on eBay looks amazing for sure -
Just saw an ad here for a Washburn bass and it made me wonder. Where have all those 90s Washburn basses gone? There seemed to hundreds of them around at the time.

Feels more like a jazz neck lovely Birdseye maple and a satisfying shape from the neck wood to fingerboard, hard to capture in photos issues the d an g holes were cut a little too big so had been packed with some tape for a good fit the g slot on the nut is to low the finish has worn on the back and there is a mark/dent on the front of the headstock happy to provide measurements and answer questions and here offers or traded

Larger humbucker for Wilkes bass ?
adriansmith247 replied to adriansmith247's topic in Repairs and Technical
The current spacing is 17mm and is at the limit of the roller adjustment on the bridge. It is very easy to play When I got the bass over 25 years ago the previous owner had stripped the body and painted it purple. With purple paint and varnish! I stripped it and finished with a dark oak furniture varnish. On reflection that wasn’t the best idea but it was cheap and it looks ok. I wanted it to look like a Wal bass. I think a pro finish would make all the difference to this bass as I think it is a real classic and probably sought after. Sunburst could be the way to go but I am not sure. Still debating it -

Just that he had never noticed any reduction in volume on the E. Get the string adjusted over the pickup and adjust the pu height until everything sounds good. To be honest, I have only been using the bass for unamplified noodling for years, only taking to gigs when I could squeeze it in somewhere. I mostly play double bass. The strings I had on there sounded great apart from the low E, which I didn't really realise for some reason. Also, I was trying to set this bass up with 19mm spacing, which was too wide Now I am debating getting the body refinished by Doug, which would improve the looks a lot. -
