1982 Westone Thunder 1A Bass

Here’s a lovely vintage bass – Made in Japan, 40 years old, and not expensive either.

Westone was the main brand name for instruments made in the Matsumoku factory in Japan. They were very well received when first sold, people recognised their quality and value, and they sold buckets loads of them. The Thunder was probably their best selling bass guitar.

So definitely not rare, but this example is probably one of the better ones available.

It’s super original, in fantastic condition, has no fret wear and barely any marks – quite exceptional really, and comes in the original case.

The neck is straight, truss rod perfect, plays very well, everything works as it should, very hard to fault.

Perfect to start your vintage bass collection with, or would make a quality bass for a beginner and easily good enough to gig with.

In the best colour as well – most you see are in natural wood.
