2000s Washburn Hammerhead RB-2002 Active Electric Bass Guitar



Overview: This is a well-made, easy-playing, comfortable bass to own. It's not super-heavy and it has an active preamp on board that will make you happy if you like those fat, juicy, modern sounds. I thought the pickguard was aftermarket at first but, nope -- it's original! This one has had some play in its life (as shown in some of the bigger scratches), but it's playing happily, now, and has a respectable look about it.


Repairs included: Molly gave it a level/dress of the frets and a setup. We also replaced the preamp's battery with a fresh 9V. It's playing spot-on and ready to go.
