Tokai 1984 currently on it's third fingerboard (ebony) the logo was ruined by the numpty who replaced the first board. Nobody told me in the Eighties that Jaco put marine resin on to preserve the rosewood, and I could never get my ears around flats!

I've owned a couple of Precisions from this period, and none have been from 1979! the last one had a serial# earlier than this and had 1981 pots and pups.."stock" unfootered with in the late Eighties! I know some good instruments came from the Seventies, but I haven't seen any yet compared to the quality of the earlier basses and the fact that people are now asking 2K plus for cricket bats with strings amazes me! Early Tokai basses are much closer to the mark as far as playability goes.

Can't even give gear away these days!

As it says, Peavey 1x15 150 bass cab on castors (one a bit wonky!) was a sub, but x/o removed, so must be useful for someone to leave in a regular gig, or rehearsal space! taking up too much space in the garage! Collect from Glasgow. GONE NOW!

2008 Tobacco Sunburst with changed scrathplate.

Here's mine, very early 76 Marathon with the hole on the headstock as I think they were still using Hayman necks then! Just love the laquer crazing!

Another two of mine, a 1984 Tokai fretless on It's 3rd fingerboard (nobody told me in the Eighties that Jaco put resin on to save neck wear!) Lost logo on 1st replacement, now has an ebony board. 1997 Fender Jap body with an Allparts replacement neck bought as you see it here from King Tut, never has a job been so easy! bolted it on, intonation and action perfect with no adjustments! has now become my #1 gigging bass!

Jeez O When will this nonsense end ? [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Vintage-Fender-Stratocaster-Telcaster-Jazz-Bass-Jaguar-/300549980284?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item45fa2cc07c"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Vintage-Fender-Strat...=item45fa2cc07c[/url]

There's a few folk already bidding for him in the ebay links forum!

Has anyone developed a light gig bag stand for a jazz bass yet ? I've bought loads that do Precisions and the like, but they don't like the offset body! Just a thought for the Dragons Den types out there! and I'm in for only 10%

OK here we go! Cheers got the gist now!

KD could have done with another rehearsal!

Hi, have posted a few pics on posts and they're always thumbnail size no matter what size I upload, so you have to open in a new window! Does anyone know how to rectify this as It's much easier to browse topics without having to open new windows! Cheers

"Jazz Bass" is still a Fender owned trademark, so the legal dept have grounds to ask ebay to remove it under the vero policy.
