FS/FT Westone Thunder 1A, EMG's, natural oiled finish etc - WITHDRAWN £245

WITHDRAWN


After a lot of thought I have decided to sell my custom-tweaked Thunder 1A.

It' a 1982 Matsumoku-made thunder 1A. However, in addition .....

- I have routed an extra bridge pickup cavity.

- Fitted EMG's. Neck pickup is a std. EMG precision pickup. Bridge pickup is a 35P4, which is the EMG precision pickup but in a 35-sized shell. Controls are VVT (4th pot is a dummy to cover the hole. Also has a mini-toggle switch to switch the battery off, so you can leave an instrument cable plugged in without draining the battery.

- stripped the body finish, sanded down to perfect, and finished in natural Danish Oil and lastly Briwax.

- As you can see the body is absolutely stunning as the grain has come out beautifully.

The neck is straight and true with minimal fret wear. Still has a lovely woody tone, despite the modern sound of the EMGs. The body is fairly immaculate. The neck and headstock have a couple of minor marks on as this bass is more than 30 years old. However, it still looks great and nothing affects the playability.
Nut and bridge are brass. Tuners and other hardware are also original and in excellent condition.

Fitted with a brand new set of roundwound 105-45's

I'll let it go for £245 posted within mainland UK. Or £230 if you'll collect from me in the Southampton area.

Trades ... well try me. I could be interested in a decent combo or cab, or an "interesting" 4 string bass.

Beautifully pimped! You've turned that into a really tasty instrument. Seems like a bargain to me.

Nice modifications.

A good example of how to make a good bass even better.
