Paul S Posted February 23, 2016 Posted February 23, 2016 (edited) Westone Thunder Jet, MIJ '84. Passive, P type split pup. Very scruffy body with evidence of a bad paint patch around the control knob area. Wood is sound, just looks scruffy. As Thunder jets go this is quite heavy at just over 9lbs. 22 frets, lovely neck, truss rod is fine. Bridge missing one screw. Non-original knobs for vol and tone. I tried it with a better pick-up to use a a beaten up back up but it is a touch too heavy. I will be returned back to how I got it except clean. Ripe for modding. Did I mention this is scruffy? Pics this afternoon. Looking for [s]£80[/s] [s]£70[/s] £60 collected from SS71LD or [s]£93[/s] [s]£83[/s] £73 posted. Edited August 9, 2016 by Paul S
Paul S Posted February 24, 2016 Author Posted February 24, 2016 Some pics - still has the new pickup and straplocks, I will take these off: [attachment=213190:tjet1.jpg] [attachment=213191:tjet2.jpg] [attachment=213192:tjet3.jpg] [attachment=213193:tjet4.jpg] [attachment=213194:tjet5.jpg] [attachment=213195:tjet6.jpg] There, I said it was scruffy! Works just fine though.
Paul S Posted February 24, 2016 Author Posted February 24, 2016 (edited) Thanks Jon. Actually, I could make that £70. Just had a look at the bridge and why there is a screw missing and two of the screws have sheared off. Either a/ the buried bits would need drilling out b/ make do with the other 4 screws c/ fit a new bridge that required new holes drilling. Edited February 24, 2016 by Paul S
Paul S Posted March 8, 2016 Author Posted March 8, 2016 Price dropped for this 'perfect for modding' bass.
W1_Pro Posted March 30, 2016 Posted March 30, 2016 A perfectly serviceable Westone, a prime example of Matsumuko loveliness, for £60. Such a bargain. Have a bump and GLWTS.
