Thunder III fretless bass

[Wtone22]

Hi,
Just to let you guys in the UK know, I've just listed my Thunder III bass on ebay. As usual, something else came up so I need to sell!!

[chaypup]

Ahhh yours is it? Very nice! Although you may struggle to get what it's worth at the moment, good luck!

[Wtone22]

Here's hoping! Mind you the prices for anything with 'Matsumoku' in the description seem to be climbing lately! Even mint 1A's can get close to £200! If it doesn't sell I wont be to bothered to be honest as it's going to be one of those sales that will be regretted in years to come!

good luck with the sale, she's a beauty

That really is nice.

I've watched the Spectrums fall below what I'd consider they're worth; I missed a DX for about £50 because I was out, and no other Westones have done very well just of late...

I was a bit surprised at the claim that some Thunder 1A (presumably basses) were going for £200. But, this one is up to £175, and it has some time to go. And it's a "pickup only".

Edit: And the auction doesn't include the case!

A very early example and a lefty, but that was an amazing price!

Look at the bidding history, same fellow, seems a bit 'funny' bidding against yourself!!!!

Weird. But surely the bidding would still be at £100 (to just outbid the second bidder) if it was a normal auction. Has the high bidder been bidding against a reserve? But wouldn't the auction say somewhere that there was a reserve, or does all evidence disappear when the reserve is met?

Edit: Ah, here's the evidence.

CLASSIC WESTONE 1A BASS GUITAR
Reserve met. Buy It Now price is no longer available since bidding has started.

[Westbone]

Ah, yes didn't spot that.

Still a lot of dosh and not finished yet. Think it'll stick at that.

stick a couple of mine on at those prices.


L oo ks pretty rough as well with added led and one odd knob.
good luck
