Ah, it's one of those olde-worlde neck-through "old style" basses, not an up-to-the minute Precision or anything!

Might need a jack socket, as well as tuning...

Very nice. Pictures are not overselling it.

Literally round the corner from me (and I'm using "literally" as it's meant to be used - I can walk there in under five minutes). I don't need another Westone Thunder though, but if anyone wants me to check it out for them then I'm happy to.

I saw that. He originally had it up for £100, but i believe someone informed it of its value.

Someone's stolen his knobs. Supposed to be brass. Wish he would sell me the trussrod cover. Been looking for one for mine for ages.

What changed? I'd have said it's value was a lot closer to £100 then £350.

In good order I wouldn't be surprised to see this go for £350 - it's a high-end Matsumoku build and there's not many around. This is a bit of a mess though, probably worth a punt at £150 or so & fingers crossed the electronics aren't fried.

Those brass knobs are like rocking horse poo.

If it's not in tune, that's a deal breaker for me. I'm not that technically minded.

[tommorichards]

I think he may have searched for the guitar on ebay after listing it. Seen similar prices to the one its at now, and adjusted it. Maybe someone contacted him about it.

 

If its a neck through, and all the electronics work, he'll probably get around £2-300
