Heathy Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 (edited) [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]For sale is my first bass, a Westone Thunder Jet, bought new in 1985. [/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]It underwent the following modifications for its 30th Birthday:[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]- Seymour Duncan SPB1 pickup[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]- Babicz Bridge[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]- KiOgon wiring kit[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]- Dome style knobs[/font][/color] All[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif] mods were [/font][/color]professionally checked over, and the bass was professionally set up. [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Unfortunately, it is still not being used so it's time to move it on. I'm looking for £150. All original parts and a new set of Schaller strap locks are included.[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Understandably it picked up some ‘mojo’ from the teenage Heathy, mainly buckle rash on the back and a few minor knocks here and there.[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Collection preferred, or buyer to arrange shipping. However, I would be happy to meet up within a reasonable distance (I am based in North Essex).[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]No trades please.[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Pics below.[/font][/color] Edited November 4, 2017 by Heathy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul S Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 I have a serious soft spot for Westone Thunders and the Thunder Jet in particular. With those mods that is a serious amount of bass for next to nothing. Have a 'if I weren't only using 5ers I'd be driving up the A130' bump, sir!

wright/watt Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 I remember watching the brilliant Stuart Morrow of New Model Army playing a Thunder Jet in the mid eighties.His individual style was really able to shine through with this bass.Great bass this.GLWTS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
