Westone Quantum bass (X850)
Two pickups (Magnaflux RB), 2 volume and one tone control, 32.25 inch
scale 24 frets. Headless neck with
top mounted string clamp so ordinary strings
can be used instead of double ball end strings. Hard Maple body and
neck, Rosewood fingerboard, graphite nut. First appearance of the
'stepped' body design
Available in Satin Black, Snow White or Red
First appeared in the Jan 1985 US pricelist at $499.50 including gig
bag, (Probably introduced earlier, the serial number on mine indicates
that it was made in 1984) in the August 1986 pricelist the price had
increased to $529.50
and at this time it was only available in black. Does not appear in the
later pricelists
These were originally supplied
with a gig bag, but it's unusual to come
across one that still has it.
