FT Washburn ABT with MB 4 Midi Modification SOLD

Sign in to disble this ad
Hey All,

I've got a crazy one that I'm a litlle on the fence about but you just never know what's out there. It's a white Washburn ABT
SOLD LOCALLY
from the early 80's but it has the MB 4 midi mods done to it.....notched frets, controller.....the whole bit.... I can't find another one anywhere....

it's the same midi system that the Wal basses had back in the day...

here's a link to some info on the mb 4 midi system

http://www.trevorandthea.eclipse.co.uk/specs3.html

I can tell you that it definitely works and latency is pretty low.....I'll get some pics together tonight and see if I can do a little something with my laptop, too!!

I also have a couple of basses on the link below and would consider any kind of mix and match deals out there. Prefer the Canadians because of the extra duty costs but more than willing to deal with anyone.

Thanks,
Terry

Pics Added plus 4 more basses to mix and match

Here is a little more info I was able to dig up on this bass....
22 frets PJ config supposedly EMG's but says Washburn on them approx 1988 serial number starts with 8 mb4 installation is fully functional but I can't find any info to suggest this was ever a stock option.

pics are added here and I'll try to add a few lo res now....

as for trades I've added my Godin BG5, Acacia Gruv 4 w/lane poors, 71 P'enstein and 70's J-enstein all into the mix. I have 7 basses at home and I'd like to weed it down sooooo......2 for 1 OR 3 for 1 type scenarios might work for me, too!! let me know what you have.....I might just be crazy enough to do it. Will also consider +/- cash scenarios where appropriate....

Thanks,
Terry
