alyctes Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 Overpriced by somewhere about 200%, IMO. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodinblack Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 Unfortunately just the way now that things that were cheap things now become expensive just because they were old. To be fair, the westones were amount the first actually good basic basses, as good as something costing £300 today, but older, so it not like people paying silly money for one of those old firewood instruments, like a kay or equivalent (where silly money is something over a fiver) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassassin Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 Very nice example. Overpriced to the tune of about £1000 though. I mean - these are excellent instruments & the through-neck Thunder IIs & IIIs have appreciated, but Westones were never regarded as sought-after or pro instruments. This is getting on for double what you'd pay for something like an SB1000. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps the seller misheard the valuation! 🤔 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor J Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 (edited) Perhaps it was "too hot to handle" and muttered by a guy in Cash Converters? Edited August 22, 2022 by Doctor J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodinblack Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 Not me, I had a westone guitar and it was fantastic. I went to get something else from Telecoms in portsmouth and they just had some of the first westones there - they played so well, everyone loved them. They were like the first actual budget guitar that I saw that actually played very well. I modded it so heavily and I would say it was my first useable guitar, replacing my Kay Pine Strat POS edition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woody1957 Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 I'll give him £20 for the sock but only if he throws the bass in with it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
