goblin Posted April 27, 2013 Posted April 27, 2013 Not the windy sort I've managed to get myself a Westone Thunder 1A. Selling my 4 made me realise that they're still handy to have, especially now I'm teaching too, and I've never had anything P like. My dad spotted it on a traders page, in VGC, circa 86. £100! Can't wait to collect it this week Quote
andydye Posted April 27, 2013 Posted April 27, 2013 Congrats mate, a 1a was the first decent bass I gigged, superb it was! Quote
goblin Posted April 27, 2013 Author Posted April 27, 2013 Aye I love them, never played one myself but many years ago my father had one, which he stripped back and finished it in a turquoise burst. I can imagine if it hadn't have been stolen he'd still have it! He had the guitar variant too which I've just recently sold on to a friend I've not done well for GAS the last few months though, first a Warwick 5er, then an Aggy octave pedal, now another bass. I dread to think what's coming next! Quote
andydye Posted April 27, 2013 Posted April 27, 2013 maybe an amp shuffle next then? I love my octamizer! Quote
goblin Posted April 27, 2013 Author Posted April 27, 2013 Possibly, can't really afford that though I'm happy with my rig though and it cost me MINUS £40 or so, so realistically, it's a keeper My 21 year old spine can still hack it, I've made a dolly and fitted adjustable straps to stop everything toppling off and it fits into the boot of a Fabia...can't really complain with that Quote

goblin Posted April 30, 2013 Author Posted April 30, 2013 Okay it's not happened Wasn't the guy on facebook's fault if anyone saw it as he was selling on behalf of a friend who decided he wanted to keep it. Quote
OliverBlackman Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 You've got GAS!? I've been toying with selling everything for a 70's jazz. Reversed my decision at least 6 times in the last few months Quote
goblin Posted May 1, 2013 Author Posted May 1, 2013 If you do, lemme know what you want for the Tokai Quote
