Bassassin Posted September 26, 2008 Author Share Posted September 26, 2008 Not quite the kick up the arse this thread needs - but this is something to behold: [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=260292186047"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...em=260292186047[/url] I had one of these myself, many-and-many-a, this is near-identical to mine and in exceptional nick for a 25-odd year old. Reserve is about £275 (he's being a trifle coy) so I won't be bidding, but these do tend to fetch a bob or two now. J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spinynorman Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 Cosmetically challenged apparently, though doesn't look that bad. Jap, but shouldn't be crap. 300 quid, though, by the time you've paid customs.

These days they come out of the same Chinese/Taiwanese factories that make a lot of current budget instruments. Probably a decent enough bass - I have 2 recent Arias (one's a g*it*r) and they're excellent for the money. J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ou7shined Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 She's lovely. If I didn't already have my pennies ear-marked for another bass I'd have a pop at this, even though I'm not really in the market for a fretless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bassassin Posted October 9, 2008 Author Share Posted October 9, 2008 Yep, that was a Korean-made Satellite before somebody sanded the logo off it. Still very nice, if it had had frets I would've been a little more intertested. J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete.young Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 Sorry for going off-topic, but this one is distinctly not crap. A really nice-looking Yamaha BB1000 wannabe P-bass from 1978-81.

Bassassin Posted October 12, 2008 Author Share Posted October 12, 2008 Oh, that's not off topic at all! Lovely bass, and not far from me either. Doubt it'll stay at £50 - it's only been listed a couple of days & it started at 99p, but it's on my watch list. Just in case... J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

budget bassist Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 For anyone in or around nottingham, in the music inn on alfreton road they have a fretless westone thunder I in black that looks to be in VERY good condition for £145 and looks to be totally original, everything there. Just thought they don't come up all too often and especially in that sort of condition so one of you guys might be interested. Got the right thread this time i think!
