FS/FT '84 Washburn AB-20 ABG *MINT*

SOLD
This is a repost, here is what happened. I sold this bass to a really good TB'r, when he got it he wasn't happy with the string to string balance. I gave him a refund and got it back.

I took it to my luthier and he did some work on the bridge and now it is amazing. It is like a whole different bass. The whole bass sounds better and the balance is spot on. He flattened the bottom of the bridge and made it a bit thinner so it rides very evenly on the Piezo. It is so good I considered keeping it but I just picked up an upright and I have too many basses, according to my wife.

This is the first bass I ever bought, it is in mint condition. This one is a bit different than most of the AB-20's you might see in that it has a mahogany neck.

This bass sounds great, it gives a clean, clear acoustic sound. The preamp gives great adjust-ability for all situations. It also has exceptional string - string balance now. Washburn built these from 1981-1991 and they sold new for $999.

Back and Sides: Mahogany w/white and black binding and inlays.
Top: Spruce
Neck: Mahogany
Fingerboard: Brazilian rosewood
Tuners: Gotoh
Pickup: Fishman Piezo
Preamp: Equis II (Made in England)
Out: 1/4" or XLR
Strings: Rotosound Tape wound
Made: Chicago, IL USA
Original HSC included in very good condition.

Asking $500 shipped in the conUS, OBRO. Paypal OK International shipping is OK as long as buyer pays all shipping and fees.

TRADES: Hit me up, I can add cash for the right deal.
