geoffbyrne Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 I don't know what they are like now, but I had a Wesley guitar about 6 years ago & it was utter tripe. I'd hope they'd have improved by now. G. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tait Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 i played one at the london guitar show or music live or something like that a couple of years ago. like geoffbyrne said, it was awful. horrible neck, sounded rubbish, and IIRC was very heavy. if i were you, i'd definatly play one before you buy.

BottomEndian Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 I've had two Wesley basses and I've still got a Wesley hollow-body electric guitar. The basses were OK, although the frets and nut left something to be desired. Oh, and the electronics too. The hollow-body is an absolute dog to play, but it sounds oddly good. Really thick, meaty sound. My mate has a Wesley hollow-body Tele copy, which is great. Good fit & finish, great sound, but it's the exception to the Wesley rule. In a nutshell, I think their QC is [i]really[/i] hit and miss. If it was a first bass, it might put you off for life, or it could be a real keeper. What is it, £100? Save a bit more and get a Squier, SX or something like that. And play it before you buy it, if you can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
