Westone Spectrum GT

Made in Japan, between '86 and '88 I think.22 frets, solid top I'm told. one volume, two tone controls. 3-way switch. Pickups is H/H. make of pickups unknown. Passive bass.think I have a rosewood on the neck, body unknown. Finish is a metallic dark red color.

I play metal, and the fat sound approaches big metal bands. I have a Hartke 3500 Mosfet top, 350 watt, and a 4*10 inch 400 watt speaker by Trace Elliot. at home I practice on a Peavy TNT 130. Play both elements, and get a full fat thick heavy noisy and yet a very sophisticated sound. I (ab)use Elixir strings on it, nothing else. no dislikes on my Westone

bought it second-hand, I haven't changed anything on my bass. I think it should be looked at, just to make sure it keeps sounding great, although I think it still is in good condition.

Have been on stage, kicks everybody's ass. hardware seems ok, though some wires should be redone. I have one scratch on the back, probably from my belt or so. strap buttons are as solid as new. very dependable bass. I will use it without a backup, although the offer to take the Music Man stingray from our drummer is hard to resist.

never been in repair, after more than fifteen years and a factory that doesn't exist anymore, there is not much warranty left. have searched the internet, and found some information on Westone Basses, Guitars and the manufacturer.

I play the Westone for eleven years now, and I also have a Samick 5 string. If it got stolen, it would be hard to get a bass like this one back, I know now that there aren't many around.
I hope to see many more Westone players around, and see numerous Westone basses around!

I think it was made in Japan in the eighties. It has 22 frets. The pickups are H/S/H with a three way switch. One volume and two tone push/pull knobs. The finish metallic blue sunburst. It looks like a Strat, but with sharper cutaways. The neck are fat with thin frets.

I can make very different sounds with it. I play it in a reggae band, but I also play metal with it. It has a very fat sound, but I can get very bright sounds too. I think it fits for any music style and I love the sound.

I think it's perfect. I have adjusted it for my self so I think it's great.

I am using it all the time and it works fine. It will last for a lifetime. I have been using it for six years now and it's no different from the time I bought it.

It's hard to find them!

If it was stolen I had to thrash something! I love my guitar. If anyone knows anything about it PLEASE contact me!

from japan this guitar has a poplar body-strat shape white imron finish non-locking tremelo non locking westone tuners the neck was fat with thin frets -like a old gibson

when this guitar was stock-it sucked now its the perfect guitar for metal and alternative.nice sound when using solid state amps. awesome sound when using marshalls the pick ups are duncan dual sound bridge neck unknown year&model bc rich i use a crate gx 15 r solid state amp not much sound variety pickups wired direct to output jack no pots and knobs both pickups on at the same time

only thing i liked about the factory guitar was the body shape and white imron finish and the knife edge tremelo the guitar has been heavily customized

this guitar is perfect but i dont use a strap

never had repairs

ive been playing over 13 years if it were stolen id have to find the person and break their kneecaps because it took me years to find the right parts i love the allparts neck the pickups kick ass the trem setter is nice and the graph tech bridge saddles i need to get some locking tuners i this guitar is 1000 times better than when i bought it new im really happy with this guitar
