Any love (and cash) for Japanese quality out there?

Too much for a Westone? Make me an offer - this is a quality bass!

So, selling my Thunder III (unless the fretless goes first). Very very well-made Japanese bass made by Matsumoku in 1984. Here's some spec: Body is solid Canadian ash, with a through-body heelless neck which is a laminate of maple and walnut with a 24 fret ebony fingerboard with snowflake inlay position markers.[list] [*]P/J style pickups with 3-way selector switch [*]Phase reverse, 'dual tone' (Series/parallel) and active tone switches [*]Volume, active and passive tone controls [*]Brass nut, saddles and bridge , anodised aluminium brass effect backplates. [/list] [indent=1]I LOVE this bass and am selling it to fund the Thunder II I've just vbought which is a tiny bit sexier.[/indent] [indent=1]I currently have it strung with flatwounds and the range of tones I can get is amazing. The neck feels great (to me) and it's a joy to play.[/indent] [indent=1]There are a couple of nicks on it but nothing major and no buckle rash on the back either. The top of the pickup selector switch has snapped off but doesn't hinder operation.[/indent] [indent=1][/indent] [indent=1][/indent] [indent=1][/indent] [indent=1][/indent] [indent=1][/indent] [indent=1][/indent] [indent=1]You're welcome to come round and have a play. Will also post at buyer's cost in a hard case.[/indent]

To drum up a little more interest in this I've taken some sexy arty photo's like you get in that there porn thread... [IMG]http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/ii616/chaylockyer/Selling%20stuff%20photos/IMG_1292_zpse73e76b0.jpg[/IMG] Mother of Pearl that logo is y'know.

So here's some photo's and some info for those who haven't come across the Classic 450 before: It's incredibly light at only 4kg and comes with it's own gig bag which has extra pockets for all your leads etc. [list] [*][size=3][b]Power:[/b] 450 Watt (800+W peak)[/size] [*][size=3][b]Weight:[/b] 4 kg / 8.8 pounds[/size] [*][size=3][b]Dimensions:[/b] 275 x 290 x 66mm[/size] [*][size=3][b]Balanced DI output:[/b] Galvanic isolated transformer-balanced (pre/post pre-amp)[/size] [*][size=3][b]Tone controls:[/b] Four vintage tone controls[/size] [*][size=3][b]Compression:[/b] SpectraComp multi-band compression[/size] [/list] [size=3]This has PLENTY of power and I've used it for funk, soul, jazz, reggae and ska and been able to get the right sound everytime. The compressor is particularly good and I haven't used an external compressor since getting this.[/size] [size=3]As you can see in the pics, some have the stitching has started to come undone on the bag, if it's a big problem for you I'll pop it into the dress shop next door to my house for a fix up. :-)[/size] [size=3][IMG]http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/ii616/chaylockyer/Selling%20stuff%20photos/IMG_1279_zps6e8b8361.jpg[/IMG][/size] [size=3][IMG]http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/ii616/chaylockyer/Selling%20stuff%20photos/IMG_1280_zps37a68609.jpg[/IMG][/size] [size=3][IMG]http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/ii616/chaylockyer/Selling%20stuff%20photos/IMG_1285_zpsfda053d2.jpg[/IMG][/size] [size=3][IMG]http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/ii616/chaylockyer/Selling%20stuff%20photos/IMG_1286_zps07ba7f4a.jpg[/IMG][/size] [size=3][IMG]http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/ii616/chaylockyer/Selling%20stuff%20photos/IMG_1287_zps13e4b26c.jpg[/IMG][/size] [size=3][IMG]http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/ii616/chaylockyer/Selling%20stuff%20photos/IMG_1289_zps4b9de6c9.jpg[/IMG][/size]

I'm getting the RH450 as I need the headphone capabilities so this is up for sale. Comes with the gig bag, has a small scratch in the top but otherwise in very good condition. Will put up pics tomorrow after work.

Hey, are you willing to split at all? If so, how much for the RH450 on it's own?

Time for a spot of Sunday bump

I've seen these [u][b]photo's [/b][/u] for sale on eBay - is that you selling them or has someone ripped you off?

Thank you for the kind words and many thanks to deanovw for putting the pics up all big an' that! It's actually a Thunder II, made in 1982. Macassar ebony fingerboard. There are 2 holes on the front of the body where the previous owner had a Roland synth pickup installed. One dink between the pickups and a couple of chips on the back - I can take close-up pics if you want or anyone is welcome to come round and try it out. Edit: I'll ship it well packed and in a wooden hard case. You're free to choose your own courier but I'd recommend Interparcel for cheapness!

Oop sorry will amend now.

Decided to sell my Thunder IIa as I need to get a fretted back-up for a show I'm doing. Pics on thread here -http://basschat.co.uk/topic/136517-fretless-porn/page__st__20 Will post more pics later today. Will also trade for Jap stuff - Aria's Ibanez Roadster etc. OR PEAVEY T-40
