A premium piece of Japanese luthiery golden-era history, this 1983 Washburn Force 8 four-string electric bass delivers classic punch with a distinct retro style. Built in the highly-regarded Chushin Gakki factory, it pairs an ash body and maple top with a fast, comfortable bolt-on maple neck. Equipped with a reverse split-coil precision pickup design, it generates a bright, mid-forward, growling tone that cuts right through any live mix. Complete with a vibrant sunburst finish and an eye-catching faux-tortoiseshell pickguard, this rare bass stands out for both collectors and gigging bassists seeking definitive 1980s quality. Hardshell case and original pearl pickguard included.
