stewblack Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 (edited) I had a trade deal set up for this but the other guy appears to have pulled out, so up for sale is this much used, naturally roadworn, some might say battle scarred, old beast. Made in the Matsumoku factory it is a heck of a thing to play. So why so cheap? I hear you cry. Well it's got a couple of weird switch related shenanigans beyond my knowledge base. It works, you can use the tone and switch one of the switches to great effect. the other switch seems to do either nothing or turn the sound off. It's been suggested to me that maybe the switches themselves just need replacing, who knows. I include a video to show it very much works. You can't hear it on your phone very well but I just put through my pc amp and speakers and it's thunderous. I've attempted to show a good sample of the chips and dents on both body and neck. I have taken off and then absent mindedly mislaid the battery cover so there is a home-made temporary replacement there. Rest assured I'll post on the real one once I track it down. This is the active edition of the Thunder 1 with an 18v pre amp no less. If you've always fancied a go on a piece of 80s bass history here's a cheap way in.

Well done for going the extra mile 👍 I'd lost my voice. I had to do a bid because it wouldn't sell on looks alone. But the noise it kicks out! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
