hamfist Posted February 15, 2015 Posted February 15, 2015 (edited) SOLD Be the coolest cat in town with this completely unique bass. A 1986 Westone Thunder 1a body (maple and walnut spine, ash wings). Refinished in a lovely peppermint green. It's got a very minimally played J&D Jazz neck on it, logo removed, maple with blocks. New (non J&D, because they're cr@p) tuners. Nut slots cut to perfection, Generic Stingray pickup, passive volume and tone controls. The other switches and controls are purely for show, or if you want add a load of fancy electronics, you can ! A chunky black bridge adds to the overall cool look. A set of new generic nickel 105-45 roundwounds complete the package. A pretty light bass. My (not very accurate) bathroom scales put it at 7lbs. Not a lot else to say really. There is a large pickup route underneath the pickguard and the bass will also come with a black PJ setup pickguard, so if you want to change the pickup configuration at some point it would be a piece of cake. Price is £125, posted to you in mainland UK, or a bit less if you collect from the Southampton area. A bargain for a very tidy bass.

chaypup Posted February 15, 2015 Posted February 15, 2015 Oh wow I loved this when I saw it in the build thread. Skint at the moment though so any trades?
Davy Posted February 15, 2015 Posted February 15, 2015 I used to have a Thunder 1A which I had modded with a jazz pickup added but I wasn't as creative as this. Great job!
Moos3h Posted February 15, 2015 Posted February 15, 2015 No chance of having it with the rosewood neck is there? Looked epic!
Thunderbird Posted February 15, 2015 Posted February 15, 2015 Sorry to derail your thread but was just wondering if you could pm me a link for the tuners you have on there please as I am looking for some like that maybe even black ones thanks in advance and GLWTS

chaypup Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 I had a dream about this bass last night. I was playing it at Glastonbury and one of the switches was a flamethrower, so, for that reason, I'm out.
