Would you be able to do a ' gentle roll' on this neck if I were to buy it off of you?

Pete

Hi, Are you edges rolled by any chance?

Thanks 

I have one on my '61 - they are the best available, expensive but can't be beaten for quality....glwts

If I could go back a few years I wish I had done exactly that.

Me too...I have one I bought in 1985 with a fibreglass cad and flightcase. Gigged it lots then bought a Jazz in 1997 and virtually retired it - I've left it to an ex-girlfriend my will 🤣🤣🤣

They were designed in the 1970s came to our attention in the 80s when Rotosound Round wounds were the string of the day. Most recordings on a Wal were made with them on and that's how their reputation was forged.... however, times change and since Pinos flat wound bass playing influenced Voodoo album appeared, over 20 years ago, flats seem to be the go to and won't chew the frets or neck up as much....love flats, tapes and rounds on my basses ....= buy 3 Wals 🤣🤣🤣👍

Yes, it does look similar though I always thought he used the SB1000

Sorry to disturb Could you give me the link on you tube or the name of the channel, I like to see it , please thanks 

My account on YouTube is Peter S...there's quite a few videos on there but you should find them - about 4 - easily enough

I have 2 Japanese UV70's (A Black and a Natural - both with maple necks) love them both so much I haven't played my 61P, 66J or my 84 WAL out since I got the first one 8 years ago...I much prefer the tone, playability and overall general feeling of these. If you get the chance to play/buy a UV70....don't hesitate - after a few days the penny will drop and you'll be saying to yourself, why didn't I pull the trigger years ago......after all, it's what all the modern Super Jazz's have been moddled on for years

Hi, I had 26 basses until the latest cull where 8 ( including a JV Squire p- Bass) went. At 62 the Thunder 1a came out around the time I started playing but got something else instead... always loved the look, feel n sound of them....it's still for sale, but in current in Gatwick North Terminal waiting for a plane to Egypt for a week so won't sell on here this week😁🌞🌞🌞🐪🐪🐪

Thank you The Greek...very nice gesture...I'll buy you a beer one day...maybe 2😀👍

I have 2 of these - natural and black...both stunning to play and wonderful active modern and useable passive tones....you shouldn't sell it - you might regret it🤣

It's just the thickest 3"padded strap I could find and I went into a fishing shop and got some weights - easy really 😁👍

My memory of the Thunder 1A is that the three pots are volume, passive tone, active tone. The switches are active/passive and either a coil tap or a series/parallel. From the logos, that is a relatively late one. 

According to the Aria website it was born May 1984.....

For some reason the site doesn't like my Oppo phone. It won't load picture as from 2 of the basses im selling Westone Thunder 1A and this Aria. Yet on my iPad the Fender Jaguar Reverse 3 TSB was fine. Lesson - use the iPad. I'll try and get some more photos of both basses up through my iPad tomorrow...thanks for your help 👍

Thank you and I take your point ref photos. However, I wrote the ad on my phone for Basschat and tried to upload the photos from my phone BUT the site (for some frustrating reason) didn't allow. I have mention there are Videos of the bass on my Youtube channel and its also on Evil Bay (ebay - that was a joke ).....I try from my phone again this evening

Thanks all for your input.....Pete

Hi Jonnyaw45...No shilpmemnt to Scotland wouldn't be a problem at all.  (VIA ParcelForce 48....haha...see comments above)...

PM me and we can discuss it there

Pete

It is .....lovely wood and it's kept it's appearance very well over the years...little play wear to.

You're right - no mention of the weight ...it must be me whose losing the plot....at 62 it's come early ha ha 

On the Salter luggage scales it reads 10.2lbs ...a heavy one 

Let me go back and check again😁👍

Yes😁👍

It's PART 2 and says in brackets  (nut width, weight and case) - I've just checked again and it's there....must have put it up a few weeks ago 👍

Hi Old Horse Murphy,

The weight, but width etc are in the second video I did if this to help support the sale. They are both on YouTube at my account Pete S

It's an SB ...as in Super Bass 600
