Westfield "Small Body" bass *open to offers* - *SOLD* £90 Solihull, West Midlands

[Richard R]

It's a Westfield, and as you can see from the 3rd photograph has a rather small body, hence the title. Very similar to a Thumb, but they couldn't call it that.

 

A nice sounding bass (especially with the flats), and easy to play.  Personally I would lower the action a bit, but others may want it left as it is.

 

Normal 34" neck,  nut width E-G 30mm, bridge E-G 60mm. Controls are passive VVT, pickups are humbuckers as far as I know. Weight is 3.5kg (7.8 lbs) on my travel scale. Strung with newish Adagio flatwounds. There's a mark on the neck, shown in the photograph, and one or two dinks in the body that are impossible to photograph.

 

I'm selling this on behalf of my son. This was his first bass, bought 2nd hand from PMT in about 2010 when he would have been 14. He learned to play on it, and has played it for years in church until a few weeks ago. He's now playing a rather nice active bass, and has decided this needs a new home.

 

A good bass for a youngster to learn on.

 

Collection in person from Solihull, West Midlands, or somewhere not too far away.  I could post it, at buyer's expense, but having never posted a bass I would be a bit nervous!

This looks a lot like Thumb.

[Richard R]

It does, but it's smaller. Maybe "Tom Thumb"?

Update:

I was able to compare this to a Warwick Thumb at the Midlands Bass Bash, and in fact they are almost exactly the same size.

 

I remember thumbs as being bigger, evidently I was wrong.
