My old battle axe is a 1988 Force B-10.

It may not be my main bass, but it's seen a LOT of others come and go through the years.

I have a 1983 force 8 bass in black with a maple neck.
The neck{s shape is somewhat of a "V"
Oh yeah, it also has a reverse P pickup,
It{s not all original, electronics and knobs are unoriginal, the PG screws aren{t either. Also, the pickguard is in rough shape.
Playing wise it is fine but everything about the pickguard is not quite right.

I was wondering if anyone could give me any more info on this specific model.
I{m considering taking off the tuners and neck hardware and putting them to good use because they seem pretty solid. Should I keep it intact?

I got a Washburn M12 in grey with EMG PJX pickups and preamp.
It's a heavy bass (Near 6kg) and powerful sounding. It's got a magic sound when it's detuned like BEAD or some others odds tuning.

I've got a beat up Bantam, their knockoff of the Steinberger. Bought it new in (IIRC) the late 80s or early 90s.

NOTE:
1. Some of you own some fine Washburn Guitars. This list will, however, focus on basses.

Just when I was going to list my Oscar Schmidt OG 8.

I've got a beat up Bantam, their knockoff of the Steinberger. Bought it new in (IIRC) the late 80s or early 90s.

Should probably be a 1984 or 1985. They were offered in black, white , red and blue and were simply called "Bantam"---no specific model number in any ads. Any serial number you can see?

 

[floridagatorfan]

I own an xb200

 

[MEKer]

Surely we have more Washies out there to get on the list! ???

1978 Washburn Scavanger

1978 Daion/Washburn B-40 Prototype

My 1st bass, a XB 120 Bantam LH. It doesn't get used much any more.
