WESTONE Thunder 3

Made in Japan by Matsumoku in the early 80’s, it’s a top of the line model:

Body – Canadian Ash, Hard Maple and Walnut

Neck – through neck, Hard Maple and Walnut 5 piece laminate

Ebony fingerboard, brass nut. 25.5 inch scale, 24 frets

Steel tailpiece and bridge with brass saddles

Metal backplates (Presumably like those on the Thunder II and III basses – anodised aluminium, not brass)

2 Magnet-F530 pickups

Controls – Master volume, tone, equalizer volume: coil tap, phase and active EQ switches, 3 way pickup selector

Active EQ is + or – 25 db with a centre zero position, gain is adjustable up to 13db.

Very good conditions, especially considering its age – plays and sounds wonderfully!
