Another day another guitar!!!

Westone Thunder 2?

* EDIT: Bollocks! It's on the headstock! My eye didn't travel that far!!!

Nice. Westones are cool. Ash is cool. Brass hardware is kind of cool. How much does it weigh?

I immediately thought of this chap.

^^ Good grief. I'd forgotten that! Proper '80s innit!

About the same as a 1984 Ford Sierra Estate.

Motherfucker! what a beauty!

Very Seven.

Pity that both pickups miss the sweet spot. Perhaps, it would be possible to combine the EA half from the bridge position with the DG half from the neck position?

Ye olde Adrian Legg "How To Customise Your Electric Guitar" has a circuit diagram for doing this.

That's gorgeous

Harry "King Thumb" Seven?

Bass looks great. I always liked the look, feel and sound of the Westone basses, although I seem to remember the active eq being a bit brutal.

There's a chap who plays in a few local covers bands who still uses a Thunder and it sounds great.

If Ian Elson did basses and somebody cut it in half and then made it playable.

Blimey, that's a bit harsh! I'm not seeing an Elson in there at all.

inewham · October 2023

Because of the stripe? Some of them were through neck
Because of the shape? Mines a carved top rather than flat but its actually really comfortable

Harsh!

The weight of these Thunder basses doesn’t seem to be causing too many problems here…

You may have guessed it's not my thing. I did think it had been spliced down the middle though,at first glance. It might be a genuine way to treat an Elson guitar too. An axe for an axe.

Howdy, Stranger!
