MGR/dallin1 « Washburn 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 mention the manufacturer's famous name. Glad I bought this one.
