It was $235 including tax, and is an 8-string bass. If you look on the bridge, there's space for 4 more strings. I just need I go get some. :D edit: wrong price, it was 235 not 265 :o

I know what I said like an hour ago, but here are a couple of quick shots I took before lunch. I got inside of it to make sure the jack was still in one piece and it was, but it's damn nasty and needs to go. Other than that, it's in as good a condition as you could hope for $200, if not better...

Hey guys, just going on record saying the RB-2802 has arrived (and two days early)! I've been amazingly busy with the first few days of the new term, so I'll likely get pictures uploaded tomorrow or over the weekend. Til then I'll be cleaning and setting it up, picking up some strings, and...

Definitely going with light gauge, i'm well aware of the dangers of neck torque on 8-strings, especially with bolt-ons like this one. I don't intend on playing this thing with the included strings for a minute longer than I have to. Go ahead and number me man, I'll be back with pictures in a...

Ha, thanks for all the support you guys. I'll be posting pics upon arrival, the bass should be shipping out between Sunday and Monday. In the mean time, I'll dig up some nickel wounds and wait giddily. For anybody who missed the original listing, you should be able to find the pics that came...

Thanks for the help! I couldn't imagine this thing going for more than $1000, though the one I bought is a bit rough around the edges, plus the input jack needs to be replaced. I can do that on my own for under $10 though, and set it up however. Whatever the situation, it's a lovely...

Hey guys, SP suggested I come join the party. I happen to be the guy who took the auction for the RB-2802 earlier today, and I'm really damn psyched. It's my first 8-string, and my first Washburn. I posted this in a thread on its own, but you guys could probably answer my questions better than...

Hey guys, I'm looking for a bit of advice from whoever has a bit of experience with 8-strings, particularly the Washburn rb-2802. From what I understand, it's a pretty uncommon bass (couldn't even find any demos on YT), but I have two concerns: 1- I paid $235 including shipping, the input jack...

There's a club for this? TB's got clubs for everything. Where do you guys find these anyway? I've searched under every rock on the internet and all that turns up are the terrible wholesale knockoffs. Also, if anybody has a cheap old chunk of bass they've been hanging on to, feel free to PM me...

Darn it! I'd buy this in a second if I could meet the price. Curse the life of a college freshman. :hmm:

Above post in English for convenience: And this tool is well cut wood and hit the car. Pretty funny bass =) Google translate will never work perfectly, im afraid. XD In other news, bass payed in full! Cant wait to play this crazy thing. :D

Deal in progress, bump it up!

My dad's a total rock star. Tattoos, styled-up black hair, the whole shebang. He's been in a number of bands over the years, and he's got talent in abundance. Singing, guitar, etc. etc. He's the reason I've always been so artistic, though playing music myself is a newer thing for me. Here's a...

Well said. Expensive flashy gear is nothing if your skills don't stand on their own. Just spending money to play better just doesn't work, it makes no sense. You'll sound better, sure, but you won't play better. I'm quite new to bass, only a year and a half or so, but my view is this: How...

I started with guitar because I wanted to be like my rock-star dad. My parents got me a little fender starter kit, which I hardly played. But for whatever reason, bass came to mind, and it clicked. I bought an Epiphone EB-0 a few years ago and love it to this day. It's easier to play (for me at...
