The center section isn't as dark in person as it appears in the picture.
I've only had it two days and haven't decided what to think of it yet.
Anyways, I guess I'm in the headless club. I'll gig it next weekend.
Here's a picture. I can't get my camera to work but the guy who gave it to me took this picture before.  |

| | | | Fleishman Bassic IV #182 / Cort Steinberger copy
The Cort is the first electric bass I've owned. When I bought it for $50 it had a coat of black spraypaint that was applied less than professionally. I took the paint and the frets off, did some wood burning, and had the EMG active pups installed.
I bought the Fleishman for $150 only knowing that I liked the way it played, sounded, and looked. A fellow TBer helped ID it. I've emailed back and forth with Harry Fleishman a few times over what turns out to be a non issue with the truss rods. He was very helpful. He is sending me a replacement logo decal, which goes between the pup and bridge.

Would love to see more pics.

Not eligible for a number since I sold this one 13 years ago, but here I am with the Steinberger XP-2 I bought brand new in 1988. ’Bergers were in high demand back then; the dealer wouldn’t back off a dime from the $1200 list price or even throw in a new set of strings! It was in near-mint condition when I sold it in 1997. If I recall, I’d had it only a month or so when this pic was taken.

Electronics are simple passive VBT, and it sounds great.
The instrument is for travelling, so shouldn't be too luxurious. But then Wilser had to go ahead and spoil me.   |

This was back in the 80s when Washburns were actually really good basses
Made in the USA and then in Japan (like thats a bad thing  )
Has electronics, Bridge system and pickups from the Status company in the UK and assembled in the US
thru neck construction with maple neck and I believe walnut wings
not the best example of bass playing but heres a clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V03wLMIeQow
