Here's what I play (mine has Strat-style knobs because it's an older model by a couple years):

It was my first guitar ever, so i've had it for awhile. Once I learned how to set up guitars, and I lowered the action on it and crap, it played awesome. Both my basses are still in NovaScotia though so that sucks.

The reason I asked is that I designed that bass. The funny history behind it is that I originally designed it for Hamer Guitars as a neck through, and the top brass there fealt the shape didn`t identify with the current Hamer lineup, and didn`t want to do neck throughs. When I went to work for Washburn, they liked it and we tweaked it for a bolt on. Just thought you guys would be interested in a little history on the basses.

I have XB925 (5 string) flame top body and neck for sale if anyone wants it?

Would it have killed you to design it with a matching headstock?

LOL, The original design had a completely different headstock. You can blame Grover Jackson for the non matching paddle headstock

. The first two prototypes I built had color matching P/H`s, and Grover also nixed that too.
