Shambo Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 (edited) Next up for the chop is an 80's Westone Thunder 1. It's got bumps and dings commesurate with an instrument of its age , but it plays really nicely and sounds great... and it's cheap as chips. It does the passive P thing really well. Weighs 4210g. Minimal fret wear and a lovely dark thick rosewood board. Came to me with non original knobs. Did I mention cheap as chips? It comes with a very old Selmer hard case (a lot older than the bass) and is quite heavy but has bags of mojo and, in its own way, is a beautiful thing. £150 £120 £100 collected from Kingswood Bristol. Any trials welcome. UK postage is an additional £30. Paypal gift, bank transfer or cash on collection.

It has plenty of marks but it's very smooth and fast. Nothing bigger than than a fingernail scratch. Can't really catch them with my camera. All trials in Bristol welcome.

It's got rock n roll wabi-sabi about it. Early 1960's judging by this this site. Edited March 20, 2019 by Shambo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marc S Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 (edited) Wow! Why has this not sold? Matsumoko, Japan 80's top quality bass..... for silly money If I needed a P bass, I'd have this in a flash. I used to own a Thunder Jet, back when they came out new Chap who bought it from me still has that very bass, and it's his favourite he's ever owned..... (and he's owned and sold quite a few since) Me? I already have too many and need to shift a couple...... Or, like I say, I'd have this in a flash Have a bump for a superb bass, that's worth easily twice what Shambo is asking for it, in terms of quality, construction and bang for your buck GLWTS mate EDIT: And that case just might have well have the words "Serious MOJO" written on it, in huge letters Edited April 2, 2019 by Marc S 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shambo Posted April 12, 2019 Author Share Posted April 12, 2019 Emminently gigable but could be a quality back up bass. I've got one eye on another bass for sale in the forum because I've never tried one... and life is short. I haven't got the space for them all!
