FS: Westone Thunder II Bass with original case

Slightly unusual one this. I got this in a trade with a friend about eight years ago as I'd wanted to have a bass. He'd acquired it from new in the early 80's. At some point he'd converted it to be a fretless bass, then refretted it. It's been done to a high standard and if I did not mention it I doubt anybody would notice. My friend is pretty fastidious and that shows in it's condition. During my ownership it has lived mostly in it's case, which serves to tell me that I am not a bass player! So, time for it to go to a home where hopefully it sees a change of fortune and gets lavished some playing attention. 

The original bridge has been swapped out at some point, I believe the replacement is a Schaller unit. 

Overall, the condition is excellent for an approximately 40 year old instrument, there are very few marks, the most obvious being some light buckle rash around the heel area. It has no chips down to the wood - it's pretty clean. 

Also, it comes with the original Westone case which is also in pretty good condition. 

Looking on eBay and Reverb, values appear to be on the up, I'm asking £500 £485 for this including the case - I'd wager this one is in better nick than most currently for sale. Postage can be arranged at cost.

    You are correct. The replacement bridge is a Schaller 3D-4.
    Be seeing you.

    Nice!
     so if you fancy a reissue of a guitar they never made in a colour they never used then it probably isn't too overpriced.
