Obviously Washburn are a sponsor of GuitarSite, so take what you will from my comments.
The best answer I can give you is I've found a lot of happy Washburn owners. There's always going to be complaints about guitar companies and Washburn is no exception. Yet compared to the likes of Fender these days, Washburn produce some fine instruments.
I was doing a lot of research a few months back, and the Washburn X50PRO was a serious contender for the price. I found issues with the EMG pickups on the lesser X50 model, but the pro model had SD's.
I recall GLW or someone saying they didn't like Washburn ages back, but yeah, that was ages back so I can't remember clearly.
Maybe 1B, Tim and co can shed some light on the bass side of the spectrum.
