Published on 04/27/05 at 15:00Gifted to me 10 years ago when I began playing bass. Cost was roughly 200.
This bass was a godsend. I've hit it with drum sticks, tamborines, and screwdrivers; dropped it, thrown it, played countless shows & practices with it and it keeps on going. Completely durable. Has a great, snarling tone when you max out all the knobs. Easy access to the high frets.
Minor complaints: intonation is a bit finicky and there's a dead spot on the 9th fret of the D string. The E string also seems duller quite often, but I've noticed this in other basses as well.
Sturdy as all get out. Mine is all original parts except one tuning knob. The strap-holds were a little sketchy, but the body, despite my...…

Sturdy as all get out. Mine is all original parts except one tuning knob. The strap-holds were a little sketchy, but the body, despite my attempts to destroy it, has held up like a champion.
I love this bass. Perhaps a little too much. It needed a minor repair here and there but, for 200 bucks, I don't think there's a better low-end bass anywhere.

MGR/dallin1Washburn XB200
Published on 08/03/04 at 15:00Acquired from Musicians Friend, cost was $249, showed a list price of around $500
This bass had a good feel from the beginning after trying several others in the same or slightly higher price range, felt balanced, liked the weight, neck felt good. My first had some real buzz, it seems it had an inherent internal problem, I returned it after 2 weeks and they replaced it. This second one has been a gem.
Tone and volume adjustments seem a little insensitive, but that's about it.
This bass has been through a fire and survived, has been durable, and holds tune nicely. Excellent sounding pickups.
I saw someone playing the bass I almost bought instead, it was falling to pieces--I won't...…

I saw someone playing the bass I almost bought instead, it was falling to pieces--I won't mention the manufacturer's famous name. Glad I bought this one.

Published on 06/21/04 at 15:00Igot this bass at Music123 for $220.00
I liked the active pickups, and the look.
the pickups are awesome.
1. the finish is weak
2. the stap holders broke off
3. the D string has bad intonation
4. the strings buzz even after raising the bridge
5.the screws strip easily
6.the tuners and bridge scratch very easy.
the wood is weak and this product is not relyable. the pickups are very good though
I would stay away from this bass. I learned the hard way buying it.
