darkandrew Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 (edited) My son was watching High School Musical 3 this morning (don't ask !) and I spotted this bass but couldn't identify it: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wzQT_6WcgV8[/media] at 1 min 46 secs. It appears to have Les Paul style controls, a double cutaway body, a bound body and fretboard but I can't make out the logo / name on the headstock. My first guess was an Epiphone due to the Les Paul similarites and Headstock shape but I can't find any Epi's that look like this one. Any ideas (other than getting my boy to watch something else)? Cheers. Edited August 4, 2012 by darkandrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Thudmaster May Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 Looked like a Framus! But did you see the girls that the violins were playing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icastle Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 I'm going for Epiphone. This is based on years and years of extensive bass experience... and the fact that you can see the logo on the headstock at 02:57... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darkandrew Posted August 4, 2012 Author Share Posted August 4, 2012 (edited) [quote name='LloydyG10' timestamp='1344100843' post='1759852'] Hi there, looks like one of these to me!! [url="http://www.guitarmagazine.co.uk/reviews/washburn-wb66-idol-bass-guitar-review/"]http://www.guitarmag...-guitar-review/[/url] [/quote] Thanks, that looks like it. Here's a You Tube review (in German): [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=byNzH-5NVuY[/media] It's quite a handsome bass and for only £255 from these guys [url="http://www.promenademusic.co.uk/Washburn-WB66"]http://www.promenade...k/Washburn-WB66[/url] probably quite a good candidate for buying and upgrading the pickups and electrics, although the bass in the German review doesn't sound too bad with its stock pickups and passive tone control.

bigsmokebass Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Not that I know a lot on this. . . . . But seen as Washburn made a Miley Cyrus (whatever her character was called) signature, who's a Disney "star" of whom made the HSM saga, I'd say it's the bass in the video above. "Washburn Idol"??? Wonder what it is between Washburn and Disney? 0_o BSB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevB Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 That Washburn reminds a little of the Schecter C4 which I had a few years back; [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QKQWm1STr3o&feature=related"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QKQWm1STr3o&feature=related[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grunge666 Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 It is a Washburn - the 6 string is a Washburn PS7000 - Paul Stanley Signature model. (KISS GEEK ALERT!) I reckon there was some endorsement/product placement shenanigans going on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
