WASHBURN Force 4

[JazzBass50]

This is one of my favorite basses. Actives and flat wounds. I'm a big fan of Motown and 70'/80's soul/funk music. EWF, Chicago Players, Kool & the Gang, Trampps, Brothers Johnson...and I'm a WHITE guy (imagine that)

I do tone it down as a Worship Team Bassist. We have a black drummer and this guy has just "got the stuff" for it.

I have a Fender Jazz Bass too with flat wounds. I like the mellower tone as opposed to the rounds. I did keep the rounds on my Ibanez 5 string for a different sound.

My first bass was a washburn.

The mid and upper end force series basses where among the best going during that time frame. I had the force series midline JJ bass version with 2band preamp and black hardware, black finish. Early 80's. Prob a peak time for washburn qaulity.

I think you will find that you are far from unique in your taste on music on TB, regardless of race.

Sometimes, when it comes to my appreciation of music (soul & funk) I may be a black man trapped in a white man's body...lol
