What a kin mess! There's a red one on that looks well for £140 BIN too!

£150 or so is the going price for these, seems like that's always been the case, probably because they're bomb-proof and there are thousands of them around.

And Ebay's full of delusionals & chancers with ludicrous BINs & start prices. And they never, ever sell....

Always liked the Thunder range. The MK2 is good too but the Mk3's are excellent. I've got a 2 MK2 which is basically a Thunder 3 and it's great. The most under rated bass I've ever played.

That must have been what the seller was testing here, hence the appearance

Turns out they're not idiot-proof!

Mk 1 & 1A are great bargains considering the quality, shame the through-neck 2 & 3 tend to be more in line with other similarly built Matsumokus. Always fancied a 2xP Thunder 2.

My first thought was "What an idiot!".

Not only have they done an awful job of relicing, but they've also taken the logo off the headstock.

Mind you, it's cheaper than this one: [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Westone-Thunder-1A-bass-made-in-Matsumoku-Japan-1984/292248382043?_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIM.MBE%26ao%3D2%26asc%3D47510%26meid%3Decb95e64fba74db5998f921493afb342%26pid%3D100005%26rk%3D5%26rkt%3D6%26sd%3D302461789532&_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851"]http://www.ebay.co.u...5.c100005.m1851[/url]

And that one's going nowhere fast! Seller's a well-known overpriced dealer - [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Avon-SG-bass-made-in-Japan-excellent-condition/302404064748"]cheap & nasty plywood Avon EB copy for £320, anyone[/url]? :lol:
