On 2004-01-19, SAM rated this Washburn XB105 a 4...(7543)
Purchase: I BOUGHT THIS BASS SEVERAL MONTHS AGO ON EBAY, FROM MUSIC 123.COM. I PAID 165.00 WITH SHIPPING. WANTED A CHEAP 5 STRING.
Pros: VERY NICE FINISH, MINE IS METAL FLAKE PURPLE. IT HAS A VERY NICE SOUND ALTHOUGH THE OUTPUT ON THE B STRING IS A LITTLE LACKING. THE NECK IS FANTASTIC VERY EASY TO PLAY AND IT CAME SET UP VERY NICE RIGHT OUT OF THE BOX.
Cons: WHEN MINE ARRIVED TWO TUNERS WERE LOOSE AND THE TONE POT WAS LOOSE. MINOR THINGS THAT WERE EASY TO FIX BUT IF YOU WERE JUST STARTING OUT YOU MAY NOT KNOW HOW TO FIX.
Quality: THE CONSTRUCTION AND QUALITY I THINK ARE VERY NICE I HAVE A FEW AMERICAN FENDERS AND ALTHOUGH NOT QUITE A MATCH IN QUALITY FOR THE PRICE I WAS JUST AS HAPPY. THE FINISH IS VERY THICK AND MAY ACTUALLY HURT THE SOUND BUT IT DOES LOOK NICE.
Review Summary: IF YOU ARE LOOKING TO GET YOUR FIRST 5 STRING OR ARE EVEN LOOKING FOR A PRIMARY INSTRUMENT I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT.
