lukekti Posted November 16, 2018 Posted November 16, 2018 (edited) Great sounding Westone Thunder 1 from the 80's. First bass I ever played around 16 years ago, just not getting used anymore. Collection Heckington, Lincs. Edited April 8, 2019 by lukekti Sold 3
DiceSociety Posted November 16, 2018 Posted November 16, 2018 I have one similar to this (a 1A), and they'er great basses. Built like tanks, and have a wide tonal pallete. For the money, it's ridiculous and will out perform basses costing much more than this. If I didn't have one I would be very tempted. GLWTS. 3
danbowskill Posted November 16, 2018 Posted November 16, 2018 (edited) That's a great price, these have a wonderful feel on the neck. Edited November 16, 2018 by danbowskill 1
Slug Ice Posted November 20, 2018 Posted November 20, 2018 I have one in black. I've always wanted a natural one. Awesome, awesome basses worth much more than what they go for! Good luck. 1
Marc S Posted November 20, 2018 Posted November 20, 2018 As others have said - these Matsumoko built Westone basses were great build quality, great sounding basses, and they go for a fraction of what some lesser instruments go for. I would ask, if this was the 1st bass you played - do you really want to sell it? My first bass was awful, truly dreadful a 70's Kay Rick copy. My 1st "proper" half decent bass was a Fender Musicmaster, and there are times when I wish I still had it - even if just for the occasional noodle. You may end up regretting selling it, especially as it's not going to fetch too much money... Up to you, of course - but if this was my 1st bass - I'd keep it (hindsight is a wonderful thing, I know!) To any one pondering buying this bass - go for it, they're fab instruments and well worth that sort of money It would make a super back-up bass, or if you're on a very tight budget - this is the bass for you. Cheers now 3

Cheers now Hey Marc, thanks for the positive words on the bass. It actually belonged to a friend when I first played it and used to use it and the moment I saw he was selling it a few years down the line, I bought it in an instant for those sentimental reasons, however I still have the first bass I owned (Fender Jazz) and will keep that for the sentimental value above all else ☺ Cheers! 1
Grahambythesea Posted January 7, 2019 Posted January 7, 2019 At least your’s is a sensible price unlike some on eveilbay.
lukekti Posted February 21, 2019 Author Posted February 21, 2019 This is still here so I've dropped the price to hopefully tempt someone to give it a new home. Will make a superb backup bass at least!
