1982 Thunder Bass Prototype
I have put up on Reverb my 1982 Prototype Thunder bass. it's cool, but I don't play it enough to warrant keeping it, and I am trying to subsidize my purchase of an SG.
I'm asking $450 on Reverb, I'm almost certain that's too much--but I'll consider any offer, and would definitely give a much better deal to somebody on this forum than I would a stranger from Reverb. If you think I'm egregiously out of line with that price, well, let me know. I'm trying to guess, mostly.
Anyway, this is a sweet-sounding and great playing bass, and it looks cool, and it's definitely unique, but I don't think I need to keep it.
See the listing for detailed condition, etc.

Re: 1982 Thunder Bass Prototype
That's a very interesting bass & no mistake :-)
What's the scale length, by the way? It looks very much like it could be a prototype Thunder II (version 3) to me.

Same guitar here.

For some reason it won't link.
It's in members westones.
Unidentified bass - some kind of thunder I think. Now with pictures.

Re: 1982 Thunder Bass Prototype
Yep, mine is just like that Black one. That's the only other one like it I've seen anywhere online.
It appears to be a 32" scale

Re: 1982 Thunder Bass Prototype
Heel-less neck; 2 x 'JB' (prob. 'Super Boomer I') pickups; short 32" scale; produced in 1982 just before the main production run - has to be a Thunder II (version 3) prototype design, IMHO ![Smile](https://2img.net/i/fa/i/smiles/icon_smile.gif)
I'd be fairly confident saying that the colour of that second one that Westbone linked to is actually 'Onyx', which is one of the two production colours for the Thunder II (v.3).
