    The Official Washburn Club (Part 3)

    Got to love these epic forays into the dark muddled history of washburn, I think it's fair to say you guys should be the official keepers of the Washburn history book , masters of the brand! xD In the meantime keeping very busy working my force abt b-10 at practices and the gig offers are...

    Sorry my phone's driving me nuts posting my messages when I mean to delete a letter. Wha. I was trying to say was that reversed colour scheme force 40 is beautiful! I bet that is super rare :D is it from factory? Was it a special edition fir a certain player? Was it for an ad? It's awesome!

    There's a b-20 on English eBay for not too much from the same kind of time as mine, 87/88 I think, in black. She's a bit beaten up but in good nic. Only problem is it is a little way away... and I can't justify new basses right now xD And btw that rreversed co

    that's a pretty sexy bit if kit, wish I could collect the whole abt range :D there's was a b-2 on eBay a while back but was overpriced considering what I got my b-10 for. Every bassist I meet who tries it can't believe how good it is though. Btw like the look of that force 40, just can't...

    *properly and tamed. Got a new set of strings, fret clean and dress etc. So she's playing like new now. And I found red dots on a black board easy, I used to play fretless :D and personally i prefer fretted basses without dots.

    Oops sorry ive not replied on that, I've been busy! I rocked the force 8 on the friday and Sunday night's and while it stunned all the bassists I played alongside it also made sure the gigs were well... Unforgettable! The original strings were pretty knackered but I didnt have time to get a...

    Playing a decent local gig tonight but cant decide which Washburn to use! Aah I knew this would happen! XD well I suppose the force 8 needs it's first outing and it's my first if the year so might as well do it in style. My B-10 does look rather forlorn now though...

    Haha, You really are the man in the know! Sweet dude, and thanks for the info :) it's kinda strange the things they did just for limited runs, my pickgaurds like a satin black and the headstock writings orange, though I assumed it had just faded. And your bbr writing just makes the history that...

    Yours is a beauty too man! :D love the red writing and the red accent around the pickguard :) And your so right man, played and tried a lot of fenders but this just head and shoulders above them, in tone feel looks and quality. I heard so many good things about the force 8 and I'm so glad I...
