MGR/cat perdu « Washburn XB100 »

Lightweight body, slim, smooth neck (great for fast fingering and short fingers - like mine), deep purple metallic finish, Grover tuners. Solid construction.
Pickups are okay but not mindblowing. But it is a budget bass, so for the money, it's decent. Put a better pup in this and you'll probably keep it forever. Only 20 frets.
Bolt on neck, pretty solid construction. Body is made of solid mahogany, neck is maple, fingerboar is a nice thick slab of rosewood. Smooth fretwire. This is a light but substantially solid axe.
I like this bass. It was my first and I won't be parting with it. It's easy to use for a beginner and for gigging without straining your back! Being a woman, I wanted something slim and light but at the same time something that would last - the Washburn XB100 gives me all this.
