Me Neither. Wanna sell the neck? I love the feel, and am considering a custom build. It would be My FIRST. But...

Soon possibly - it's currently on my custom Super SLX which will get a custom fretted neck made for it in the next few months. (based on the Spectrum LX neck profile)

It's rare enough to find a Spectrum with both necks, but to find one with the case still in decent shape is even luckier. Take good care of that beast, it's beautiful!

Oh, She has a couple of little nicks, and scratches. You can't tell from 5 feet away. But,thanks. She is in good hands.

Hey... there's one on Reverb...

Is number 7 taken? That's the one that I would like to reserve.

Here are my qualifications!

The first one I picked up at a music store in Searcy, AR about 2 1/2 years ago for $59! Electra X630N

I also own an Electra-Westone X695 (came with a fretted and a fretless neck), and a Westone Quantum (Steinberger copy).

I used to own a X635 that I stripped all of the finish off of and installed EMG's. It had the fretted neck from my X695 on it when it was stolen a few years ago.

And, I owned a Westone Pantera 5 string. Beautiful, pearl white, looked awesome, sounded awful, and was neck heavy with a baseball bat neck.

 

[Ottobasskirk]

you probably had the spectrum LX...Pretty high on my GAS list right now!
If anyone knows someone selling one, let me know! I don't even need the fretless neck, I just want a fretted one!

I do

Got a Spectrum LX this week to replace my dying bass. Had never heard of Westone til I saw this in the shop, and I'd been tossing up between going fretless or not, so this having the option to easily switch made it a pretty easy choice. In great condition, took me a bit to figure out what all the switches do though. Came with a set of chromes in the case too, so that was extra nice.

I was wondering who would score that one. Enjoy!

Was it one of you?
I was beyond excited to find an amazing looking Thunder II (double P) neck through with original case for $299.

I bought it! 3 hours later I got an email from guitar center... "The item(s) below has been canceled from your order.
:O
We're sorry you changed your mind, but we're excited to help you find your sound..."
WHAAAAAAATTTTTT? I didn't change my mind! You cancelled my order!
Anyhow, after a phone call and no help I gave up... I hope one of you got it.

What? They broke the contract - you should demand they follow through with their original sale. (what platform is this anyway?)

It was Guitarcenter.com. It's not a battle I'm willing to fight.
I've heard of others having bad experience. I doubt it's a contract. I could spend hours in the fine print, but I'm sure GC doesn't leave themselves open to liable over online discrepancies.

Well it showed up again, and I snagged it, and it's stunning.
It wasn't listed as a fretless, but it is. I can imagine that's why it was returned (and re-listed again not as a fretless :| ) It's either factory fretless, or was converted by a pro, because it's awesome.
I suspected it was fretless from the low res photos, but bought anyways since I wanted it, and I've always gassed for an old school MIJ double P setup, and hey, I have a crazy rare super hot neck through fretless now.
And I can justify it since I just sold two basses

Westone Thunder 1, was a bit sad when I got it (£90, about $110), but cleaned up all the brass and relacquered it, scrubbed all the woodwork, oiled the fingerboard, new strings, bridge screws etc.

 

[Xero Theory]

Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone could give me some details on this. It was my dads bass, bought when he was a teenager late 70s early 80s. It doesn’t have a model number on it or anything else so chasing down infos been tough.

no affiliation - saw it looking for something else

$900! sure, swappable necks is neato, but I can buy three or four Westones for that price, and one could be fretless.

I don't follow what they go for - just thought someone on this thread might be interested.
