Westone Thunder II fretless bass
Presumably (Like the fretted version) there are three (Possibly four) different versions of this bass
Version 1 (1981-82)
- 24 fret through neck, two split pickups, active controls
- Body is solid Canadian ash, with a through-body heelless neck which is a laminate of maple and walnut with a 24 fret ebony fingerboard with snowflake inlay position markers.
- Two split-coil humbucker pickups with 3-way selector switch
- Phase, 'dual tone' and active tone switches
- Volume, active and passive tone controls
- Brass nut, saddles and bridge (Substantially more massive than the bridge on the Thunder I), anodised aluminium brass effect backplates.
