gemdids Posted June 4, 2011 Posted June 4, 2011 (edited) I had a great idea about two years ago to strip a Westfield bass I had, give it a new paintjob and put it back together. Two years later and it's still in bits gathering dust, some screws and knobs missing in action. When it was assembled it was a beaut, a cheapo bass that kicked out a really nice punchy tone. My laziness could be your gain. .... [attachment=81775:front.JPG] [attachment=81783:back.JPG] First up- solid wood body, nice grain, stripped and clean. I don't know what the wood is. I also have a bag of screws and the back plate which covered the electrics which I'll chuck in. £15 [attachment=81785:pups1.JPG] Two black humbucker pickups, wires still attached, plenty of length to play with. Honestly have a lovely sound to them. £15 [attachment=81784:Bridge.JPG] Black bridge, can't tell you much about this, it was the stock one which came with the bass. [b]Happy to give this away to anyone that wants to cover postage or collect[/b] I'd prefer pickup from Manchester or Stockport but could post for a quid or two extra if you wanted to cover postage. Open to offers on anything, just give me a yell! Gem Edited June 26, 2011 by gemdids

tommorichards Posted June 4, 2011 Posted June 4, 2011 Dam! I was after the neck too. I could possibly pickup it up though.....
gemdids Posted June 4, 2011 Author Posted June 4, 2011 In the spirit of first come first served, the neck is on hold pending a PM tomorrow. If it doesn't work out I'll let you know. Cant say fairer than that!
alyctes Posted June 4, 2011 Posted June 4, 2011 How wide, deep and long is the neck pocket, please? The neck seems to have sold...

The neck seems to have sold...[/quote] It's 2.5" wide and 0.75" deep. As the neck pocket is on a slant, the right side which is the longest, measures 3.5"and the left 2.75". If you need a close up picture let me know. Edited June 5, 2011 by gemdids
gemdids Posted June 5, 2011 Author Posted June 5, 2011 Neck is sold pending payment but the body, bridge and pickups are still available. Make me an offer.....the worst I could say would be no.

gemdids Posted June 6, 2011 Author Posted June 6, 2011 Sale of the body and pickups fell through so they are still available- £30 for them together or make me an offer for them seperately!

dc2009 Posted June 6, 2011 Posted June 6, 2011 Bugger me, I apologise, I skim read top and bottom and not the middle. I'm tempted, I'm planning a project this summer. I'll have a think. :-)

Mikeg Posted June 26, 2011 Posted June 26, 2011 Can I see a pic of the body? Or is my computer just being silly and not letting me see the ones in the OP? Cheers
