I need everything apart from a body Empty I need everything apart from a body

Hi all and GT forum, a relative gave me a body of a bass as I build custom guitars, I believe it's a thunder bass and has a number in the neck pocket of 61-1-635 , I'm at a loss as to anything on this body or finding parts Inc  Neck, tuners, pickups , bridge, strap buttons, pots, knobs, neck plate, any help would be welcome, thanks.

Hello Fokmister, patience my friend! Smile
The forum is not as active as it once was but I'll to try and answer your questions.


  • The number in the neck pocket is a manufacturing part number and has nothing to do with the serial, so we cannot determine its age.
  • Thunders were available in several styles so identifying the model is important
  • Finding original spare parts is problematic, especially the neck, but you may be able to use off the shelf parts
  • There are also active and passive electronics so that makes it even more "interesting"


Pictures would be helpful in identifying which model you have, there are 7 of them!

Meantime have a look on our website and see if anything looks familiar: LINK


And here are some Catalogue scans:
Thunder I Bass
Thunder II Bass

Thankyou and sorry for been impatient, westone have confirmed it's a Thunder 1 bass, p bass bridge and pickups, the electrics I can come up with and I've seen some Westone gotoh tuners on eBay, the issue as u say will be the neck, there are alternatives but I did want to do a full restore.
I'll keep u posted.
Thanks again 
Alan.
