Westone
Spectrum Series II bass
There were 3 models in
the Spectrum Series II range of basses, SPB102, SPB221 and SPB
311. All of these models only appear in the 1988 UK catalogue - so
while some may have been made by Matsumoku, the majority of Spectrum Series II guitars and basses were made in Korea.

2.7mm frets

catalogue only states this for the SPB221
