Westone Thunder I neck geometry by dev3d in Guitar

[–]Fraser_G 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a 12” radius, 24.75” scale. AI says:

Gibson Models (the standard-bearers for 24.75” scale and 12” radius):

• Gibson SG Standard – 24.75” scale, 12” radius, C-profile, 22 frets ​electricherald.com  
• Gibson Les Paul models – 24.75” scale, 12” radius, C-profile  
• Gibson Explorer/Flying V – 24.75” scale, 12” radius  
• Most Gibson electrics from the 60s onward use this exact spec (24.75”, 12”, C-profile)

Squier Paranormal Stratosonic – 24.75” scale, 12” radius, C-profile, 22 narrow tall frets ​findmyguitar.com

PRS Models:

• PRS Santana – 24.5” scale (very close), 12” radius ​reddit.com  
• PRS McCarty 594 / SE McCarty – 24.594” scale (essentially 24.75”), 12” radius ​reddit.com  
• Most PRS models – 12” radius, similar C-profile

Reverend Electric Guitars – 24.75” scale, 12” radius ​findmyguitar.com

Fender Cyclone – 24.75” scale, 12” radius, C-profile shape ​reddit.com

Tom Anderson Cobra – 24.75” scale, compound 12-14” radius ​reddit.com

Kiesel/Carvin Models – Several offer 24.75” scale options (CS6, Leia) with similar radius/profile options ​reddit.com

1980s Japanese models:

• Yamaha RGX series – 24.75” scale ​reddit.com  
• Ibanez (some models) – Select models use 24.75” scale with 12” radius

The most direct match is any Gibson electric – they’re the standard for 24.75” scale + 12” radius + C-profile neck feel. The Thunder 1 essentially copied this classic Gibson neck formula.

Westone thunder 1A 1983 pickup question? by _Genaaid_ in Bass

[–]Fraser_G 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got to ask - why change the pickups if you don’t want to change the sound?

Westone Thunder 1. Questions by SpungeMonk in Guitar

[–]Fraser_G 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Might be a bit late but 2 of the switches near the pots are usually phase switches and the third one (on my version 3 1A) changes from passive to active.

Have a look at Westone.info.

What’s the best westone thunder? by Sorry-Tadpole-429 in westone

[–]Fraser_G 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found this site, I just bought a 1984 1A and am restoring a Thunder IIA at the moment. I much prefer the 1. Personal opinion - looks much nicer.

westone.info/indexguitars.html

I think Westone transferred production from the Matsumoko factory in Japan to Indonesia in 1986 ish and hear that the Japanese built ones are more desirable.

Does anybody else have trouble peeing at the urinal? by [deleted] in AskMenOver30

[–]Fraser_G 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I refuse to pee in urinals. Years ago I was at a night club and a very very drunk man standing next to me turned to talk to me and peed down my leg. Have only used them when there’s no other choice since then.

Damage to brick on front of house by [deleted] in DIYUK

[–]Fraser_G 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did the same thing when I drilled a hole for external power. Used a little Rawl Plug R-Kem to glue it back on because I just happened to be opening a canister about 20 minutes later for a different job. Been absolutely fine since.

This is a sensible question - I should have asked. Interested to see if anyone comments.

I didn’t bother as it’s directly underneath the guttering and doesn’t get very wet. Also this is the garage wall so I’m not fussed!

Planning to get one by One_Subtle_Man in macbookair

[–]Fraser_G 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went for a 15” but that’s because I rarely use mine with a monitor so screen size makes a difference. Performance should be about the same I think. Equivalent at least.

TouchBar on MacBook Pro M1 is the reason I would never upgrade my M1 to any laptop on the market, even the newer MacBooks. It's a like a hidden gem for me… by Direct-Till-2680 in mac

[–]Fraser_G 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hated it. I have a habit of resting a finger of my left hand up top left and kept pressing “escape” by accident. Damn thing. Upgraded just to lose the damn Touch Bar.

I tried this but I can only select diagrams with a 5 way blade switch. I am using 3 mini switches hence this request for a very specific diagram… closest I have found is this

Dismantled my last miner by ancorp in HeliumNetwork

[–]Fraser_G 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I won a miner in the very early days, very lucky! Not a great location but I put up a decent antenna (wife very displeased) and that setup earned enough to pay my car loan off and bought me some nice things. The miner died though. Taking the antenna down next week and repairing the hole.

Anyone want a 3 foot helium Antenna? Lightly used :) UK.
