Washburn is a name that will always be held in high regard throughout the music world. That's because they are the original designers of the dreadnought guitar. Setting a precedent for innovation from day one, Washburn continues to apply the same innovation to the bass guitar. With over 130 years of experience, Washburn has earned the right to be a name that musicians trust. Washburn build bass guitars for performers of all skill levels and playing styles, so you should have no trouble finding the right instrument for you. Say, for example, you're a beginner who is looking for an acoustic-electric option, you'll definitely want to have a look at the AB10 4-String Acoustic-Electric Bass. This beauty of a bass offers a naturally rich tone that you won't believe. When you're ready to plug it in, it also features an Equis Extra active preamp and a Piezo bridge pickup, pumping up your sound without taking away from its natural beauty. If you're more interested in a five string acoustic-electric, check out the AB45 5-String Acoustic-Electric Bass. This bass offers smooth, sweet tone that makes it a favorite amongst artists around the world. With a cutaway body that offers complete access to the fret board and a custom Piezo pickup, this bass offers the best of both worlds.
If, on the other hand, you're looking for a purely electric bass, you'll want the Taurus T24 Neck-Thru Electric Bass Guitar. This bass is a professional level instrument at a price you won't believe. This bass is highlighted by a multi-laminate neck-thru construction and a gorgeous mahogany body. With custom JJ pickups, and a rosewood fingerboard, this bass offers amazing playability and a tone that will bring your grooves to life.
