Price paid: $ 148.2
Purchased from: Cash Converters
Features: This is an oldish Westone bass, I'd say about 1980 - 1990. I'm not sure about construction as the entire thing is painted a flat glossy black - full black hardware. 4 string with Fender style headstock, 21 frets - standard size, one volume - one tone nob, single pickup. I got an original Westone bass case with it for an extra $40 - great workmanship. Not sure what to call the body style, I personaly like it and its cutaways are rather short and horn like. // 8
Sound: Sound is great. no static, no problems ever with sound, I play metal and this bass is great for it. Only dislike is that it doesnt produce the variety of sounds it could (only has one tone knob but this is expected with a cheaper bass). // 8
Action, Fit & Finish: Excelent action, nice feeling neck pickups were reasonably good
the finish was excelent, the entire thing is black with black hardware all over. Plays great for a bass of this price. // 10
Reliability & Durability: I've played this bass live on various occasions, iv never even bothered to keep a backup, the finish has stood up to it and hasnt scratched much & it doesnt need to be tuned often, the strap buttons are in a very good place and they are quite strong - great gig bass (which is what il be using it for when I get a new one). // 8
Impression: This is a great bass, excelent first bass(my first bass) it offers great value and playability. I'll keep this bass long after I upgrade. // 10
