DISC Washburn T24 Taurus Bass, Natural

Full Description

Fantastically playable with high-end construction

A guitar that gives you all the room you need to create your ideal sound. The Washburn T24 Taurus has a neck-through construction. This method of guitar manufacturing is usually only seen in much more expensive models, as it is much more time consuming and difficult to perfect than other types of construction.

With a neck through construction, the wood block used for the guitar's neck continues all the way through the body. This gives you a number of benefits. Greatest of these is unlimited accessibility to every single fret of the bass along its fingerboard, as there's no need for a clunky heel joint where the neck joins the body. You'll be able to unleash your scintillating basslines all the way along the neck to the top 24th fret. Other benefits include excellent stability and sustain, meaning your tone is always sharp and resonant. Playable and sonically brilliant.

Unique tone and solid construction

A fantastically individual bass neck. The Taurus features a multi-laminate maple and mahogany neck, affording you brilliantly diverse, original tone. By using a combination of two different tonewoods in the guitar's neck, Washburn have been able to create a bass guitar that sounds completely unique.

You'll enjoy crisp, sharp tones thanks to the maple's bright characteristics. This will be ideal for when you're playing basslines higher up the fretboard, or even soloing. Depth and richness will be added by the denser mahogany tonewood. Deliver booming, growling basslines with a dark, full quality.

Furthermore, the multi-laminate construction ensures that the bass is hard-wearing and durable. The effect of using multiple pieces of wood in constructing the guitar's neck makes it much stronger than a neck made from a single piece of wood. Take the T24 Taurus with you anywhere and feel confident that the neck is less susceptible to typical touring damage, such as bending or warping in hotter temperatures.

Powerful, scintillating sound

All-encompassing electronic sound. The Washburn T24 Taurus Bass comes loaded with a dual set of Washburn J-style single-coil pickups. Single-coils are well known for their unparalleled ability to release electrifying raw power. You'll be able to inject massive, explosive bass sound into your music. Never again will you be frustrated by being unable to hear your amazing basslines onstage. Gigantically full sound that's ideally suited to high-octane, energetic playing.

Understated, elegant style

A stylish bass guitar that really is a cut above the rest. This elegant, eye-catching instrument has a unique, natural aesthetic that looks completely classy. The guitar's mahogany body retains its gorgeous, natural colour and grain pattern. This is offset with a striped pattern down the guitar's centre where the through-neck goes through the body of the guitar. Finished in natural matte to add an extra sheen, and with twinkling chrome hardware, the Taurus' understated style gives it an air of majesty. Brilliance in simplicity.
