Westone Quantum - should I?

[Rugaar]

Whatta ya think? The seller is asking $175. It'll be more for novelty and travel than actual performance. Anybody have any info on these things?

Thanks.

holy hell, i love it. i'd either refinish it or rock it in pure ironic awesomitude.

You can't go wrong for the price. If you pass it up, let me know!! That's a Matsumoku factory bass, nice quality

I was thinking more along the lines of the ironic awesomitude. I'm pretty sure my band could pull of a pretty rockin' version of Invalid Link Removed and this would be the perfect bass for it. (the album version is a full-on rocker vs this solo acoustic performance but you get the idea)

Christ, I SO want that bass. It screams "Jesus Fist" more than any other non-BC Rich piece of bass gear that I have ever seen!!!

Totally worth the price. I had a Westone (different model, same factory/era) for a while and it kicked all kinds of ass. A bit heavy and not exactly ergonomic, but it sounded as badass as it looked.

Well, it's on the way. I'll post a report and more pix when it arrives.
