davehux Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 (edited) This may be a bit unusual, but perhaps there's a Westone/Matsumoku fan out there who would be interested in an almost matching pair of Thunder 1A basses As you can see, I have a fretted and fretless version. The fretless is a 1983 Mk II, with a P pup and brass bridge. The fretted is a 1986 Mk III with a Magnabass humbucker and highmass bridge. Both in perfect working order on active & passive circuits. [b]Fretless now sold - fretted available at [s]£150 delivered to UK address, or cheaper if collect[/s] a sensible offer that won't make me snort with derision [/b] A lovely slideshow of them is here [url="http://s1304.photobucket.com/user/Dave_Huxley/slideshow/Westone%20Thunder%201A"]http://s1304.photobu...%20Thunder%201A[/url] Edited April 8, 2014 by davehux

Thunderbird Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 Really fancy one of these but alas only outgoing gear here so the best I can do is give you a GLWTS bump
davehux Posted February 22, 2014 Author Posted February 22, 2014 Bump to the top for the last 2 days to bag the pair

davehux Posted February 27, 2014 Author Posted February 27, 2014 (edited) Thanks Martin - Precision GAS got the better of me - it was a lovely bass. I enjoyed its short stay with me Edited March 5, 2014 by davehux
davehux Posted March 5, 2014 Author Posted March 5, 2014 Final price reduction - £150 delivered Someone must have some love for these massively under-rated bits of Japanese quality
davehux Posted March 31, 2014 Author Posted March 31, 2014 Was £150 delivered. Have fallen out of love with it, which is a shame as it's a quality bit of kit, but the trollop that is my Precision has all my attention these days Make me a sensible offer to send it to a home where it will get the kind words it deserves
Number6 Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 Whereabouts are you? I'm tempted by this nostagic piece of Jap history
davehux Posted March 31, 2014 Author Posted March 31, 2014 About 300 miles from you - Truro, Cornwall I do have a strong box and lots of padding - and something to put the bass in as well
ZXRRDave Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 Gah, this is tempting as a match to my Westbury deluxe 6string.
Bassassin Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 [quote name='ZXRRDave' timestamp='1396284511' post='2411824'] Gah, this is tempting as a match to my Westbury deluxe 6string. [/quote] Westbury Deluxe? Requesting pics in the guitar thread! Davehux - lovely example, best of luck! Jon.
