15 years ago I had a Washburn N2 ... nice guitar!



Edit: the above picture doesn't show my guitar ... I just borrowed it from someone else. My N2 doesn't look as good today ... I disassembled it, scalloped the neck, fixed the vibrato system and changed the color (twice).Wink

the peculiar thing is that the tuners are on the "wrong side" of the headstock.

I've been wanting to check out these fancier Washburn basses for quite a while, but they're hard to get hold of in Sweden. You are lucky to have one, I've heard great things about them.

It was a present so it's probably some cheap fake.
 
It says "made in Korea" anyway Tongue

Here is my gear (silly-sounding rhyme there...):



Ibanez ATK 600 bassguitar. It's an old model, not in production anymore. Bodywood is alder, with a flame maple veneer on the top and back. Neck is three-piece maple with a rosewood fingerboard, and a rosewood veneer on the headstock. The lone tripplecoil pickup sounds fantastic, you can get almost any tone out of it. The bass plays nicely, feels a lot like a Fender P-bass. I found this one new in a store here in Stockholm, where it had been hanging for ten years. They must have been desperate to get rid of it, as I payed only about 410 dollars for it (although I'd happily pay twice as much). A great find.

The finish is a little too blue in the above pic, so here's another one, with the pickguard off (still too blue though, the bass is actually more green than blue):



I also have a Fender Classic series Jazz Bass. Mexico made, but great value for money. Bodywood is alder, neck is maple with a rosewood fingerboard. Sounds and plays great, and I have never found a bass I liked better than this one. I bought it for about 900 dollars, and as far as I'm concerned it was a great buy. I've made some cosmetic changes to it, I won't bother explaining them, but see for yourselves in these pictures (yes, it came in that colour):






(That is my signature on a piece of tape, no real engraving)

Sorry for the rather blurred pictures of the Fender.

Last but not least, a Boss SD-1 Super Overdrive effect, for those times when I feel like play something "hard" LOL. For guitar, but it sounds great for bass aswell. A little worn on the outside.



I also have a Peavey Basic 60 bassguitar amplifier, it sounds good and works for both gigging and casual playing at home. I'm saving for a new amplifier stack though, I'm not sure which brand yet, but I'm fond of EBS and Warwick amps.
