X790 needs TLC

Hi Westone lovers

Vintage (nearly) Westone Pantera II X790 needs new home and TLC: The TLC x4 is here under bridge saddles:

I stopped playing a long time ago; I just sing, so it's been sitting in it's case for about 17 years. There's a review here form the 80's:

If anyone might be interested? :idea:

Mate, if I was bit closer to Pomgolia, that'd be mine...

Sadly, flying is not one of my greater skills, and I think you could build one from scratch for the postage cost! I'll keep you in mind if I emigrate...........

Hello Edjay and Welcome!

That sounds like a nice easy project for someone! How's about posting some piccies up in the Members Westones forum for us all to see what needs doing to it?

Pity that it's one with a big long neck otherwise I might have considered it myself! I enjoy a challenge and I've just taken up the bass but because I'm just a Likkul bitty thing, I wouldn't be able to reach all the way to the end of the neck!

Have tried Pollyanna, but you know me, with my boycotts and things. Trying to work on a pic for my avatar.

Full instructions given in the Members Westones forum, complete with 'Technical terminology'!

Good luck!

Technical and terminal?

If the shipping cost wouldn't murder my wallet, I'd be all over it. The Pantera is high on my want list, and I like that headstock much more than the standard one.

Oddly enough, we're emigrating... but not to Europe!! Good luck with that one, man!!

I think the Pantera (MK1) has a bolt on neck. This is a one piece Pantera II. Not even sure if they made the MK1 as an X790?

Just being pickie really!

I know what you mean: I bought it because I thought it was the best body I had ever seen on a bass. I still think that even though I stopped playing years ago. However, to be fair, I think the Warwicks have a more versatile sound. But then again......

Thanks Coarse Hair.

have i understood it right that you are triyng to sell your pantera???If that's the case I would be really interested...shipping to germany could perhaps be payable and i'm terribly looking after one...

is that a matsumoku? i just found information about an pantera x790 or an pantera II,which would be a korean-made bass
