I’ll have to leave it with them. Mustn’t advertise when I’ve had a drink. My wife will be in with steak and chips in a minute.

Thanks fir message

Cheers, Geoff

Early logo Westone Thunder 1A bass all original and excellent condition.
Both toggle switches pressed down bypass the active 18V electronics and gives the standard Thunder 1 tone, which IMO is as good or even better than the Precision. Probably down to what looks like a Dimarzio pickup.
Volume, active and passive tone controls. Active on/off and ‘dual tone’ switches. These can assist a slap tone or produce a big reggae thump.
Warm, balanced note volume throughout, nice action, solid as a rock and sounds as beefy as it looks.
Selling due to boredom. Lovely example.

In excellent condition and working order. Big MB sound with plenty of power. Slightly bigger than the MKII’s. I’ve used it live (if I can remember that far back! ) leaving it inside the case unzipped.

If interested, I would look in the ‘Serials Stirling’ section of that site and maybe the bass is registered. Mine is F03028

Have another bump. Looks more like a ‘vintage blue Pearl’

I see nearly everything is stagnated at the moment (not the speaker)

Now £250

I can send it through a courier of course. Do you want to arrange your own and/or shall I weigh it and work out the size with cardboard etc?

I knew I’d got one somewhere. Good quality Fender soft case included.

Early model. Sounds great, if not meatier than my Precision. If I wasn’t a snob I’d sell my Fender instead. I think the factory fitted pickup is a Dimarzio which obviously creates that big warm sound. All notes balanced in volume. Knobs not original. You can see from the headstock the body was black but somewhere along the line someone did a pro job and stripped it.
I was thinking of buying a vinyl skin laminate for the front of the body but I can’t be bothered now. I’m losing heart a bit, even though I’ve just bought another MB head so I’m not going to give in/up. It will all kick off again hopefully around Autumn.

I know you’d rather sell than read nice messages, BUT, I must say a great year 3-4 years either side. I too have a similar Precision. I replaced the push button with a standard 250k pot, whipped out the original pickup and replaced with a DiMarzio DP122 and it plays over the moon. Unfortunately like everybody else, my last gig was in March.

Output power 500W RMS @ 4ohms / 300W RMS @ 8 ohms.
Excellent working order and nice condition.
Having stood by Trace Elliot for many years I finally bit the bullet and went lightweight. I always thought a nice weighty amp with a nice meaty transformer was the dogs. After testing out many class d heads, Gallien, Genz, going back to TH500 three times, even Boogie 800, I wasn’t convinced...until I tried an Italian made Markbass head. I had used a Markbass combo years ago but was put off with the overall sound from the speakers. 
After reading so much positivity about Markbass amps, I went and bought a head to try with my Vans.
I was so impressed with the amp/combination I went out and bought another two MB heads.
Having you read my trumpet, I can assure you these heads are fantastic (just lay off the VLE and VLF)
No gigs for a while yet, like thousands. I’m basically selling this for something to do and not too bothered if it doesn’t sell. But it’s a good price. Includes protective brief case.
Welcome to try/test here observing Covid.....if you can walk it for exercise.

Can obviously post at buyers expense with an agreed rate.

Jazz now withdrawn. I advertised this for a friend but as soon as you state that, folk get suspicious, including me. Anyway, it played great and he took it away and I think p/x’d for a Ricki.

Thanks for your interests.

Slips

Ash body with bound maple neck and black- marked fingerboard.

The neck and body have both been refinished (but nicely done) with clear gloss. The gloss is also above the worn area.

Neck pocket shows no sign of paint so I assume it’s always been natural.

Neck butt has no visible stamp date but apparently is not unusual.

Pots are ser.No. 304-7218 dating 72. The pickups are 802 & 8302 which I think refers to 1972 also.

Pickup covers are quite thick so I’m assuming original.

Its a heavy bass above 11lbs but is compensated with great playability, rock solid, tight low end and singing tone.

Comes with original 70’s case in nice condition although the silver Fender logo is missing.

Any further pics on request.

Welcome here to trial first/whatever.

Covid rules observed.

Cheers

I’ve also gone back to the 400. God knows when it’ll get action again.

What can I do with three?!

         2008 USA model just after the S-1 switch had been discontinued from the Precisions. 

Point of interest the S-1 switches are fine on Elite Strats & Teles but unsuccessful with the use on the split coil Precisions. It changed the config of the pickups to either series or parallel. Split coils on the Precision are normally wired in series I.e. D.C. resistance say 5.7k + 5.7k = 11.4k. Wired parallel would be about 2.8k giving a more brighter and anaemic tone that’s why the switch was dropped.

Anyway, beautiful condition and perfect working order. I replaced the scratchplate with a black jap one because I think it looks better but the original white USA included. There should be no fudging of plate holes as I never screw tight. There is a tiny dink on the back of the neck, other than that the usual faint scuffing arc from playing (difficult to show in pics) which you see on every guitar that’s been played.

Strings through Alder body. Typical sound, warm, big, balanced across the strings and a fundamental thump. (what a description!)

New set of Ernies 100-45 thrown in.

You're welcome to test here with distance of course.

You won’t go wrong with this one. 
 

 

Fantastic value. Is the price just for the pictures!? You must be as daft as me. E/V speakers?! Thump and clarity. GLWT Giveaway.

Listen to this bloke, wrong style but he’ll tell you where it’s made

Hello again Tom, Indonesia.

The made in Germany anything around £2k.

China, don’t know.

Anybody?
