WOW! Westone Superheadless stunner!

How on earth has this been unplayed?!

Ive never seen one in that colour or that condition, amazing for its age.

Wow!

Little taster 😎

Agreed - that is absolutely stunning. Considering I've seen a few pretty ropey, beat-up exampes listed for £200-odd more than this, the price is not as mad as it could be, either.

I'm not tempted GAS-wise by much these days, but I genuinely wish I could justify this. Always loved these.

Interesting, but I’ll stick with my Status.

Nicer than the new 'unbranded' Chinese made guitars with Steinberger stickers...

Little update.

I messaged seller to find out history..

They replied that the bass was part of a 'famous bassplayers' personal collection, and had simply been stored unused from new.

Amazing IMO, I have an '85 Walnut finish one of these, and it was my mainstay for years, best feeling bass I've owned, and an unbelievable action, its like putting on an old pair of trainers. But condition after years of gigging  is not quite the same as this..

Its the colour of this too, never seen that transparent finish before.. 😯
