Here here , how about some photos and a Washburn owner call-out !

 

Got a walnut Washburn status and then a white one of the same for sale.

 

The Washburn status is a well built easy playing. Very comfortable and easy top play with a nice tight sound. I bought mine when I went through a Mark King phase. And while the bass sounds good for that it is versatile enough to play other style. It is one of the fe headless basses I could play.

 

Aint she a beauty ? .

 

I have a transparent red one, It's a fantastic slap pop bass, great for funk or funk rock/metal. It's worth more than they go for. come to think of it I may just put mine up for sale! Any whooser they really are a diamond in the rough. They are tough as nails, light comfortable, and full of tone. I have heard some people say the jury is out on the finger style on these, but personally I think they are great.

 

Washburn Status' are fantastic for slap... they're really easy.

 

Ditto to everybody else says. Great players and slap freakin machines. I keep a Walnut one like the one shown above beside my bed.
