I could go on, but I'm getting boring now, so I'll leave it there. Just to summarise, you get these sort of features for your hard-earned cash on a Westone Thunder III ĥ different woods used in the construction, including an ebony fingerboardĪ beatifully constructed laminated thru neckġ8v active electronics, but with a bypass switch, giving you passive tones too. If you can get hold of a Thunder II or III then I'd strongly recommend you check it out.
#Westone guitar price guide upgrade#
My first decent bass was a Thunder 1A and loved it so much that the logical upgrade was to the Thunder III bass I bought new back in 1985 and still use as my main bass today. They may have been cheep, but they certainly were never low quality. Other people don't like them because they don't have "Fender" printed on the headstock or because the base models were popular with beginners, the higher spec models are perceived as lacking "the right image".īut if you cut through all that superficial stuff, don't let yourself be a guitar snob and judge an instrument purely on its own merits, then you'll find that Westones are extremely well made and still put many contemporary manufacturers to shame. The only problem with Westones is/was that they aren't expensive enough for some people. I know its not much help but I generally tend to think that a bass is worth whatever a person is willing to pay, I saw a Westone bass in a shop near me for £200 and would have bought it if I was not completely skint at the time, I would say try it and see if you like it, it will certainly be no worse than a lot of basses in the £200 range
I had a look at some older threads and did a google search on Westone but I was hoping that some of you might be able to enlighten me on these guitars and whether or not it sounds like a good deal. It's in reasonable condition and on sale for £199. It is called Westone Spectrum GT Bass and the shop owner reckons it was made in 1985.
I had never heard of the make before and it sounded pretty nice.
I have been playing bass for years without knowing a whole lot about bass guitars.
