pal1972 Posted July 14, 2009 Posted July 14, 2009 Just thinking of parting with this one at the mo! its an original 80's classic - Westone Thunder 1A active 4 string bass. Its in natural ash colour, bolt on neck, brass nut, brass bridge. The only non original thing is a thumb rest added by a previous owner. Plays great sounds awesome!!! Looking for £200 ono [attachment=28869:_BTS5d8Q...vy_Q___1.jpg][attachment=28870:_BTS5ptg..._k7____0.jpg]
Cat Burrito Posted July 14, 2009 Posted July 14, 2009 These were great and I remember them from school. Yours is the biz! It's the right colour & everything. Not in the market but have a free bump on me! Second one I've seen on these pages in recent times. Nice price!
WHUFC BASS Posted July 14, 2009 Posted July 14, 2009 These are the really early ones from 1983 with the brass knobs and lettering logo (no eagle logo). I had one in black and used it for years. It was my first real bass. I loved it and it served me really well. I remember mine weighing a fair bit but the sound was great. Construction as you would expect coming from the Matsumoko factory was top drawer. You probably won't get a better quality bass for this price. Have a free bump.
pal1972 Posted July 14, 2009 Author Posted July 14, 2009 cheers for the bumps guys, need to point out that one of the brass tone knobs is missing, so ive replaced all three with aftermarket gold ones (since taking the photos), ive still got the two brass ones and ive been on westone website and i'm waiting for their stock of the brass ones to arrive so i can buy a replacement. I realise this may de-value the bass a tad? but it shouldn't as everytthing else on the bass is spot on.
skippy_moogoose Posted July 14, 2009 Posted July 14, 2009 Tis a lovely bass, I love mine to death, its from the same era withthe gold lettering, my mate and my housemate both have thunder 1's with the eagle logo, so later models! They do sound pretty damn good and I for one love the aesthetic, free bump from me chap!
thisnameistaken Posted July 15, 2009 Posted July 15, 2009 On the only P-bass I ever had, I put the thumbrest there too! Couldn't cope with not having a bridge pup to stick my thumb on.
pal1972 Posted July 19, 2009 Author Posted July 19, 2009 i'm willing to take reasonable offers if anyone interested?
