BreadBin Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 Here's a bit of a rarity - sadly beyond my means at the moment.. @Bassassin what do you think of this? https://www.gumtree.com/p/guitar-instrument/1982-washburn-force-8-bbr-k-bass/1299347287 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassassin Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 (edited) If he seriously thinks anyone will pay £700 for that, he's a loony. The bit about the Kahler being factory fitted is b0ll0cks (it's a string-through body, ffs) and I would think that devalues the bass. Great bass for the £200 it's worth. (edit) - assuming you chuck away the pointless wobble-stick and can source an original black-finish Chushin bridge for it. Which you won't be able to!

Bassassin Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 Why thank you! Thing is, the Washburn Forces are great basses and pretty uncommon - but they don't actually go for huge amounts when they do turn up. Perfect example is the one Ash has up for £125 - OK the original electronics are gone and it's been chucked out of a window or two, but it's a perfectly useable bass that just needs a little cosmetic attention. I think with the BBRs, the none-more-80s finish probably makes them a little bit less desireable than the more conventional finishes too. I do love them but not too sure I'd want to gig one! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
