Wow this bass a looker. I almost want to just hang it on living room wall, but that wouldn't be fair to the bass.
Sounds fabulous, feels good, and looks like a $2600 custom boutique bass.
you really can't go wrong here. Westone is the most underrated bass maker that has ever existed.
The active electronics are versatile, but uniquely operated. They take a bit of getting used to, but you can dial in a range of tones once you get used to it.
New coated DR black beauty strings, some slight scratch and dings. nothing bad
there is an article about this bass in Vintage guitar magazine, reverb won't allow a link, but google: 1987 Westone XA6520TBU Genesis
It's the first match.
The case is a yamaha molded case. it's not a perfect match, but the bass doesn't move around at all inside it. That's the important part.
9.6 lbs 1 9/16" neck at nut 2 1/4" string spacing at bridge
look in my shop for more 80s japanese basses. They're my specialty
