Sold for £100? Jon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budget bassist Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Damn, no more bids? Someone got a steal. Admittedly those photographs didn't really do it justice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassatnight Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 The first Bass I bought was a Westone thunder 1 in Natural, it was a hound of an instrument the tone was awful and it weighed a ton. I soon replaced it with an Aria SB which was a similar price but twice the instrument. I would go for a Thunder 3 if one comes up it's vastly superior. I seem to recall the action was very high and it went out of tune in a very short space of time - which was very frustrating at the time. Might have been just a bad one but then again it was 25 years ago! It does look in good condition though... S.
