Washburn XB400

I bough this bass at a local music shop to upgrade from a Peavey Patriot, I paid US$270
and I really believe it is worth every penny

For starters I love the red see through finish, the neck hasnt warped or moved in the 3 years I have been playing it

The electronics are not very good, about a month after I bought it they sounded crackly, but I got that fixed. But you dont have much good tonal variation, you have a really nice deep sound and when you try to ged a little more mids, you end up getting way too much trebble

The construccion is really sturdy, like I said have been using it for about 3 years and it has held up playing gigs every week.

I believe it is the most reliable bass in its category.

UTILIZATION

This is a low light with a long handle end.
It is easy, fun to play.
It does not quickly disrupts what is really a nice surprise.
Very suitable for fast gaming.
However I occasionally occur on the micro tape when I play. Should be noted that I do the strings for more distance between the strings and the pickups.

SOUNDS

Thanks to its wide range of settings, we can already travel in a wide range of sounds.
It has fishing and nature in its innocent.
Can get a round and warm like climbing in acute and dry.

OVERALL OPINION

I have the XB400NM (Natural Matte).
This is the kind of bass you would bet that not one euro and yet it is an outsider.
Beautiful aesthetic, balanced, fun to watch.

Already said

UTILIZATION

The handle fits me perfectly, fast and precise.
access to acute nikel, but it is true that for the ring, sometimes it's easy ps!
you can get good sound, but on some frets ca vibrates, I did settle, but it makes me always does a little bit, but that consensus on the amp so it goes.
she goes to slap my bass teacher (who sold it to me) is trying to buy me every time that I was ready!

SOUNDS

No style of music, but it's going for just about everything.
I use a Fender Rumble 100.

OVERALL OPINION

It is not far off a year that I have now.
I like its shape, and this is my first bass so between us There's a great story!
is one of the only models I had the opportunity to try up to now.
quality price ratio, bah ca depends how much you offer me, I bought 150 of OCCAZ PRAF and is in condition, I did a wholesale business mga!
Not a fault, I made the right choice, and if you must, I do it again!
