F/S Modified Westone Thunder 1A - £325 or near offers £325 Chorley, Lancs., PR6

[ead]

Hi folks.  Here we have a modified (by one of our own) Westone Thunder 1A that I bought recently in the hope that the physically smaller size might help me a bit with continuing to play.  But alas not.  The mods are:

 

• The original light oak finish has been stripped back and the body lightly stained with a black oil finish
• The headstock has been reshaped (hint of Fodera maybe?)
• New tuners fitted (originals have been lost in the mists of time)
• Pickup and electronics are all original (and work fine)
• New knobs (again the originals are AWOL)
• Bridge cover and thumb rest added

 

The bass weighs bang on 4kgs on my digital scales and will come with a decent gig bag.  Collection/meet up much preferred but I can post.

 

Plenty of pics attached including the original s/n.  Any questions please ask; thanks for stopping by:

I think the stained oil finish really does it justice compared to the lacquered light oak finish that came as standard.

If ever there was an argument for a little cosmetic surgery... this might be it. This looks stunning a brings a whole new dimension to what is a classic (and awesome) bass.
