Washburn XB-500 Active Bass Five Strings of Fury

We've had one other XB Bantam bass, and it was superb, so when this five-string 500 model came along, goodness soon followed.

XBs are very well made, and with two soapbar active humbucker pickups (Washburn 951 and 953) each with volume and tone knobs, this has tremendous tonal range.

The maple neck is fast, straight and frets are in fine shape.  Scale length is 35", 24 frets.  And the body, which we think is ash has a beautiful and subtle transparent cherry finish. Some very minor wear pictured.  The strap has quick release connections as you can see.

We have lots of other great guitars and gear -- an Orange Rocker 30 amp head, a '65 KAPA Continental and a supercool '66 Silvertone 1484 Twin Twelve. Plus there is more fantastic stuff we are getting ready to list, so please check out the rest of the shop and point friends and fellow musicians our way.

About Automatic Jack
As with all the axes in the Automatic Jack Shack, the Swede -- my guitar craftsman and collaborator in gear -- has given this his full treatment, checking, fixing and optimizing all the electronics, hardware and functionality from headstock on down. Of course, our vintage is old stuff, so bear in mind that many of our listings are for 30-40+ year-old instruments, with the typical kind of wear and quirks that comes with that. Vintage gear tends to be imperfect and in need of ongoing care. We are dedicated to delivering the most playable, high-quality and modestly-priced guitars and gear we can. But we are players and people. We want to offer great deals and deal with great people.
