snailplow Posted February 10, 2004 Share Posted February 10, 2004 I was just wondering what they sounded and played like.Ever heard one from the audience perspective? Anything else you could add would help also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Phil Posted February 10, 2004 Share Posted February 10, 2004 never played any washburns. Heard they aren't too bad though. They look like they would play good. http://www.briantimpe.com/images/LDL/dots/blue.JPGhttp://www.briantimpe.com/images/LDL/dots/black.JPGhttp://www.briantimpe.com/images/LDL/dots/fuscia.JPGhttp://www.briantimpe.com/images/LDL/dots/grey.JPGhttp://www.briantimpe.com/images/LDL/dots/orange.JPGhttp://www.briantimpe.com/images/LDL/dots/purple.JPGhttp://www.briantimpe.com/images/LDL/dots/red.JPGhttp://www.briantimpe.com/images/LDL/dots/yellow.JPG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J. Robert Rennix Posted February 11, 2004 Share Posted February 11, 2004 I own a Washburn XB925 and it's my main bass. I've been very happy with it. Mine has a bubinga top, which makes the tone a little bit darker. Zebrawood is another option on the XB925, and that might be a little brighter. My bass is very solid. The neck joint is comfortable to play around and the fit between the body and neck is nice and tight. The Bartolini pickups have a balanced sound with adequate output. I've never had any problems with the bass. I will say that my bass in my hands can sound very dark. I use both a GK combo amp and an Ampeg 410 half stack with my two bands. My Washburn sounds great through the GK or both amps together, but it can sound a little muddy when played only through the Ampeg. Still, I've been able to get good sounds out of the Washburn while playing any style from classic rock to pop-punk and new metal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
titrek Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 Although I personally dislike washburn (I am a strcit fender guy). I have heard good things from a friend about one. I don't know the exact model but it was a neckthru. He told that it was comfortable and has a good tone variability. He was in love with her. But I think "you" should try. Also the other brands may do good for you. (I should get used to looking at the titles. I really don't know whether it was a 920 or 925 oops my signature dropped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
