neepheid Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 Looks like it - total bargain for some lucky punter. It won't be me - not even going to bother asking if they'll post a £20 bass to me - postage would probably cost more than the bass! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreek Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 The other end of the spectrum but a very desirable bass https://www.facebook.com/groups/UKBassgear/permalink/2814772111989439/?sale_post_id=2814772111989439 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tokalo Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 The guitarist in my church band has the 6-string version of the Westone: we’ve been joking about me getting one of these so we match. It’s at the price where that would work, but sadly it’s too far away (and I can’t sell my SB-2 so no more basses for me anyway!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassassin Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 Doesn't beat the Thunder 1 guitar I picked up for £5 at the car boot - but that's definitely the sort of bargain you don't tend to see much any more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemmywinks Posted March 10, 2023 Author Share Posted March 10, 2023 Most of my experience with Westones was with a White Spectrum I used to play all the time at school, belonged to the dad of a lad I was in a band with. Nowt up with it, funnily enough I went round another mate's last year to sort out a little corn snake he'd rehomed and he had a black Spectrum sat in the corner he'd been given by a family member. Had a quick blast on it and it was equally decent as the other one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul S Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 I had a serious love affair with Westone basses for a while but sold them all when my back got too bad. I had a couple of Thunder 1As (one with the old split P pickup enclosure, one with the rectangular Magnaflex) 1A fretless (that was fab) couple of Thunderjets (these were lighter with an extra fret, great modding platform if you are into stealth basses) Concord 32" scale, also the rarer than rare Pantera X790 Deluxe. And a handful of 6 strings. Until the advent of Harley Benton I reckoned these were the best value basses on the market. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
