Hi fellas,

I am looking into buying myself a bass and I stumbled upon Washburn Force 4 locally in solid condition for 40 year old instrument.

Its MIJ and looks rad,its model like this one:

I like the simplicity of it and i love MIJ instruments.Never had a MIJ dud for some reason.

Any idea what would this be worth and what can I expect in terms of quality and sound?

Cheers

Plug it in and play it 1st...no real idea of value it depends on how good the neck and frets are etc....it certainly looks cool and i had a force guitar similar had a 56 strat type solid maple v neck and alnico pickups and unusual bolt neck system, solid alder body.

I agree on MIJ guitars in general, most are nice and not getting any cheaper either...Washburn dont tend to bring a lot even though some are great...go to the Washburn thread here at TB...let us know im curious myself!
