Bloodaxe Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 Built-in distortion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger2611 Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 Well he does say the electrics may need attention....I have a fretless one which doesn't come with built in distortion strangely! I would have been severely tempted but for the weight of them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BADGAD Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 If this is kosher then I would be interested, though it is the fretless I really want. I had a 3a fretless in the early 80s and really liked it. One of those I should not have sold. Dont feel comfortable about this one though, the pricing doesnt seem right, and the seller has no history, also not sure if the pictures are of the one for sale, the text seems to hint not. I have had an ebay notification for westone thunder for at least 6 months now and only recall seeing one 3 come up in that time. Didnt detect this one because of mispelling in title. I had forgotten how heavy they were, didnt used to bother me but might be different now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Foxen Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 The 10-15db boost those have can distort most things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGreek Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Didn't they sound like they had distortion, etc when the batteries were running flat??? I remember a friend having the guitar version which did just this.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul S Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 (edited) This was bought, and returned, by someone on the Westone forum. He added the negative feedback.

Mr. Foxen Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 With actual written warning about the specific bass on the sellers account, can't really help some people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tauzero Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Having just come from the M D Phillips thread, I must admit that when I saw "Westone Thunder 3" I briefly wondered if it was a Westone Thunder 4 that had been visited by the master.

funkgod Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 mmmmmmmmmm why show it in a case ect then say 1 and 2, if below 1 was true why not show just a pic of the bass, 1) "the pics are the same model as mine" 2) "email me if you want more pics its just pics from a phone it dos'nt do it justice" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
