Just incase anyone is wondering, the bass is stripped at the moment. This means the hardware has been removed, not the paint! All the hardware is included in the sale. When put back together, its fully functional. The last 4 photos show it as it is at the moment. I can reassemble or ship as is.


The bass plays and sounds really well. 22 frets. Not sure of the weight but its not too heavy for my glass back. Slim through neck.

Reason for sale is, I hate the colour. Its a sort of pearly gold thing. Its a perfectly usable bass but I was going to refinish it. I got as far as stripping it down (only the hardware, not the paint) etching around the logo and serial (so I didn't lose them under the refinish) and then the job stopped. I'll never get round to finishing it off so it's up for sale.

There is a bit of a gouge on the body that looks as if its been caught with a sander and there's some lacquer coming away on the neck around F. I dont think the fretboard is coming away, it does look cosmetic to me. One of the brass saddles is a (brass) Wilkinson replacement.

Its stripped at the moment but can easily re-assemble should you wish or shipped ready for sanding. Ive also got the Westone logo on file that I can send to you for the refinish.

Price is plus postage. I would prefer if you could arrange a courier as the courier I use will not insure unless the bass is in a hard case.

My messages have gone a bit odd lately. If I've messaged you about the bass please message me back if you are interested.

Bargain.

Is this the same one that was on a few months back, being sold by a guy who point-blank refused to post, no matter how easy people tried to make it?

Anyway, very, very tempted, but can't right now.

Thats the one. I got it off another BC'er though, who went and picked it up, decided it wasn't for him then sold it on to me.

That gouge looks really deep on the pics but it's not as bad as it appears to be...

Ah! Thanks for that. I think I may have talked to him about it before I put it on here but all my messages went weird and I lost who it was. I'll message him.

Cheers
