Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Washburn's AB5 is a four-string acoustic-electric bass built around a grand concert body with a cutaway, spruce top, and mahogany back and sides. The acoustic construction is described as resonant and full sounding, while the QPH electronics give you onboard volume, phase, and four-band EQ control for amplified use. Its 32-inch scale, mahogany neck, natural gloss finish, and included hardshell case make it a complete acoustic-bass package for players who need both unplugged and amplified operation.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Acoustic bass parts that need onboard volume, phase, and four-band EQ control when amplified.
- Players who want a cutaway grand-concert acoustic-electric bass with a supplied hardshell case.
- Transporting the bass in the included hardshell case between rehearsals, stage work, or home.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players seeking an acoustic bass without onboard electronics.
- Players who require more or fewer than four strings.
