I remember these from the 80s, weird looking things but strangely wonderful too. Want a different tone? Just move the pickup!

I've got one of these badboys! Don't use it very often, but it always prompts loads of attention when I do. It's actually a really nice sounding bass, a blank canvas so to speak.... bit weird to play though, with nothing under the strings.

oh yeah, and mine's a covered pickup JLP, guess your memory's not faulty after all! :)

I'm not convinced the pick up on the fleabay Rail is original at all... but it's still a nice looking example. I don't know if it'll go for 150 though... bit rich for my pocket...

Is it my imagination or have Westones been fetching more recently?

There was a Thunder I in light oak going for £150 start price recently..did it sell?
