Dom in Dorset Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 I needed some good old fashioned retail therapy and managed to at least ease some long standing GAS pressure for £38 (+£15 P+P) I've always fancied a bass with a maple board, I like precisions and wanted a cheap bass to leave around the house to play while I'm cooking etc. I'm skint so after several days of trawling ebay backwaters I found this: It's a Westfiled, I tried one a couple of years ago and was impressed, set up and tone were head and shoulders above a Squier affinity I tried next to it. It turned up nice and quickly , the vendor had taped piece of wood to the back of the neck to support it in transit. He didn't mention in the listing that the vol pot goes round and round , I presume all the connections have come off which is why there's no output. For £53 I'm not bothered about spending five minutes with a soldering iron.It could do with new strings to but I'm in no hurry, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonnyboy Rotten Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Nice looking bass! - I am considering a neck with a Maple fretboard for my black Squier P! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudewheresmybass Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 I was also bidding on that one for a student of mine, as it was only a little way down the road. I missed the end of it though. I hope you enjoy it mate. Those Westfields can be fantastic value for money. Enjoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dom in Dorset Posted August 30, 2013 Author Share Posted August 30, 2013 (edited) You'd have got it if you'd bid another £3! There are others, better luck next time. BTW the offending pot is knackered! Edited August 30, 2013 by Dom in Somerset Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
