The Admiral Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 I remember these! Anyone in an 80s metal tribute? https://www.gumtree.com/p/guitar-instrument/westone-raider-1-bass-guitar-%C2%A3100-quick-sale-look-cheap-/1138849479 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassassin Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 I remember them well! Just shows how the price of vintage MIJ stuff has plummeted - a few years back this would've been £200+, this one's been relisted a few times with ever-decreasing prices. I do love these mad old Westies, I've always hankered a little over the Dynasty (sort of a deranged Flying V) in 2-tone glitter. Love the bottle-opener headstock on this one though. A very bad part of me would like to turn up for a Jazz gig with one of these. Jon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colgraff Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 Fantastic. If I could still pull off the Lycra leggings and the long hair, I'd have that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dannybuoy Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 £100 for a Wealdstone Raider? Perhaps the price is low because they've got no fans? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingBollock Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 I had one of these as my first ever bass. I bloomin' loved it and it broke my heart having to sell it. It's actually the same price I paid for mine back in 1987. I was sort of half tempted with this and my wife even asked if I wanted it, bless 'er. But it's too far away and I really don't need it. If It was the one I had to sell then I would definitely have it, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
