Washburn AB45 5-String Acoustic-Electric Bass  

I purchased this about a 2 years ago and expected a tobacco sunburst acoustic electric dream bass. When I got it i was surprised to find a yellow-orange sunburst but it looked ok so i didnt let that phase me. It plays very nice, came set up great with its intonation and action. It has decent volume for its thin profile however if played finger style it will not hold up well against an acoustic guitar.  Electric this thing stinks. If you want something to plug in this leaves much to be desired.  It sounds extremely hot and overdriven, and lacks volume, The only good electric aspect about this is that it won't give you much problem with feed back for and acoustic electric.

Very smooth Bass!  For the price it didn't have Gold Hardware or Acoustic strings and back plate was putty in color not Black!  Called Washburn to check, was told hardware was mixed?  Felt black looked better, then what about the back plate?  Sounds to me like they are just trying to increase profits!  Don't get me wrong it's a nice looking Bass but when you look at the list price you expect as listed!
