Looks exactly like a Westone Thunder 1A to me. Even says so on the pointy end.

It's got a knob missing too. So the seller's description of "very good condition" is questionable because you can't go buy knurled brass knobs from any guitar shop.

This, I think, is not a Westone bass:

I am pretty sure it's a bitsa, with horrible hacking under that plastic plate where the bridge has been moved to get the intonation.

Indeed. Thunder neck on a generic plywood P body.

That's seriously pushing the envelope of ineptitude, to move the bridge that much & still end up with the saddles at their limit. And then claim it "would benefit from a full setup".
