For sale very rare Washburn Scavenger Bass
Washburn has been producing acoustic guitars and other string instruments since 1883 but also managed to establish a strong name in electric guitars since the end of the 1970’s. The Wing-series were the first series of electric guitars marketed by Washburn. For production they contracted a number (at least 3) of renowned and experienced Japanese guitar manufacturers. Two of them are identified: Matsumoku (Aria Pro 2, Westone, etc.) and Yamaki (Daion). Yamaki was also involved in building acoustic guitars for Washburn in the same era. The Japanese made Wing-series were produced between 1978 and 1984.
During the period 1978-1982 the Wing-series models were the Raven, Hawk, Falcon, Eagle and the Scavenger (Raven style) and Vulture (Hawk style) bass models. The Raven and Scavenger (1978-1981) have a bolt-on neck and it's unknown who the manufacturer was. The same goes for an early (A-model, 1978-79) series of the neck-through Hawk, Falcon and Vulture with the jack-input on top of the guitar and an oval shaped electronics-cover on the back. In 1979 a production change gave the Hawk/Falcon/Vulture a different look (the B-model) and the Eagle was introduced as the new top model guitar of the Wing Series. The majority of B-model guitars and basses are probably manufactured by Yamaki.
