WASHBURN'S M-SERIES BASSES The Washburn M-series has become something of an enigma. It gained the majority of its notoriety due to Peter Steele of Type O Negative. There is very little information on this limited run of instruments, so much so that I've read about inquires to Washburn turning up nothing, as those originally involved with it are likely no longer with the company. To make locking down details even more difficult, a lot of the input on the forums contradicts itself. M13 There is a third model that Washburn offered which was called the M13 and resembled an M10, though it did not contain potentiometers. Instead, it only had a stomp pedal-style on/off switch and a blue jewel indicator light. Per Frank Cavanaugh, the M13 was designed for him to accept any string gauge and tuning, plus be able to take a beating on the road. This is from an interview with Seymour Duncan before he left Filter in 2002, so this confirms Frank's first M13 was built no later than 2002. The interview stated that the M13 utilized the STK-J2B Hot Stack jazz pickup. I've seen them in solid drab green and a drab green/black flag motif, both subtly textured with a dull satin, bedliner-type finish. There was an M13 on Reverb with a serial number indicating that it was made in 2003 - it is the only M-series bass that I've seen with a model designation ("M-13") on the headstock.

To make locking down details even more difficult, a lot of the input on the forums contradicts itself. M14 Raine had two humbucker-loaded M-models in his possession during our initial correspondence, which he sometimes referred to as "M-1 prototypes." He said they were attempts to specifically compete with Music Man and that only five were ever made. Washburn literature claims to not put serial numbers on prototypes, but Raine assured me all five of the humbucker-loaded basses were assigned numbers. The one I first encountered was in its original form, having a natural-finished bolt-on maple neck, 24-fret rosewood fingerboard, white fret markers the size of side dots, chrome Grover clover leaf tuners, a chrome Original Leo Quan BadAss bridge, a black diamond plate control cover, and a maple body that was painted gloss black. The headstock, which was painted black on the front only, simply said "Washburn" in white and was not marked with an M-number designation. The other one had been repainted to mimic Peter's personal tour basses - Raine said he had personally replaced the rusty Washburn high-mass bridge with a Schaller 467 bridge. He assured me that hardware (and everything else) depended on the client's request - the catalog shows them loaded with the BadAss. The serial numbers were not consecutive on the ones Raine owned (the gloss had the higher number), but the numbers indicated they were both made in 2002. According to Raine, they were loaded with a passive Seymour Duncan SMB-4D that was custom-wound. I confirmed with him that the scale of his M-basses were 34". During our discussion, he mentioned that the gloss black one had a battery that was there only to power the original LED on/off indicator within the original toggle switch. I have never noticed any LEDs on Peter's basses, though.

To make locking down details even more difficult, a lot of the input on the forums contradicts itself. The M-series of basses were built exclusively between 2001 and 2003 at Washburn's custom shop in Chicago. They can actually be seen in the 2002-2003 Washburn catalog, showcasing the M10 and M12, and the literature confirms that they were only made in the USA. The M10 came with two jazz style pickups that may have been Quarter-Pounds (given you can't see the pole pieces) and two potentiometers. The M12 came with one precision and one jazz pickup and two potentiometers. The one description I've seen stated that they had a volume (blend?) and a tone knob, but this was customizable. The catalog shows them loaded with Seymour Duncans, and I speculate that they were predominantly wired for passive operation. But different electronics were certainly an option. Many of the ones I've run accross have been repainted to mimic Peter's bass. I have read that these made-to-order basses had a starting MSRP of $1,600 direct from Washburn. "M10" has become the most common name used to refer to the entirety of M-series basses, despite each particular instrument's configuration.
