Now then.... Do I spot the early signs of a volute? He who shall remain nameless will be well chuffed, because apparently he loves... ..etc...etc... 😂

Big +1 from me. Always admired Maccas singing and playing combination coupled with some great basslines, this being one of them 👌

WOW, WOW and WOW again!! How the hell I missed this thread I don't know but I've just read it front to back. Absolutely brilliant, everything, blog, pics, details the whole lot! What a diary and what an experience, I knew you'd done some big gigs but for a local lad that has got to be the ultimate! Very well done that man, simply awesome

Now that's come out rather well 😉 That bridge pup is also very interesting.. 😎

Nice work, that looks really good 👌

+1 👌

Little update. I messaged seller to find out history.. They replied that the bass was part of a 'famous bassplayers' personal collection, and had simply been stored unused from new. Amazing IMO, I have an '85 Walnut finish one of these, and it was my mainstay for years, best feeling bass I've owned, and an unbelievable action, its like putting on an old pair of trainers. But condition after years of gigging is not quite the same as this.. Its the colour of this too, never seen that transparent finish before.. 😯

And 33 years older.. 😂

Little taster 😎

How on earth has this been unplayed?! Ive never seen one in that colour or that condition, amazing for its age. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1986-Westone-Super-Headless-Bass-Guitar-Matsumoku-Absolutely-Mint/202794134469?hash=item2f3778ebc5:g:~qIAAOSwWEddmd6L&redirect=mobile
