Got my first wiring loom from John and I must say he is a first class guy at soldering and a gentleman to deal with also. Little screwdriver thrown in as well, very professional. I will be using him for any future projects or upgrades Highly recommended...

[quote name='doomed' timestamp='1456511149' post='2989913'] I had a 'I ought to have a fender' phase a while ago, the upshot being a trip to Bristol and a good look round pmt, virtually every mexican jazz they had on display had a pocket gap big enough to slip a pick in either side, leading me to think they're very hit and miss. The usa models were no better built than my old Tokai, I left with a smile on my face and my money still in my pocket . (The phase has passed) [/quote] Lucky you

thanks guys, you have realised my worst suspicion. I will contact the seller to see what he has to say. at least I have his address and mobile number I will keep you posted

Yes, of all the basses I have or ever owned this has to be the worst fitting neck I have seen. <p>[size=3] [right][url="http://cgi1.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ReportThisItemRedirect&active=0&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2566&itemid=351656344704&seller=shawa72"]Report item[/url][/right] [b] [url=""]Description[/url][/b] [b] [url=""]Postage and payments[/url][/b] [font=Verdana !important][size=2] [color=#767676] eBay item number:[/color][color=#333333] 351656344704[/color][/size][/font] Seller assumes all responsibility for this listing.[color=#333333][size=1] [size=3] [b] Item specifics[/b] Condition: [b]Used[/b] [b]:[/b] [size=1][url=""][/url][/size] Seller notes: [size=5][b]“[/b][/size][size=1]GENERALLY EXCELLANT, SOME MINOR WARE, VINTAGE ITEM, SEE PHOTOS AND DESCRIPTON FOR FULL DETAILS[/size][size=5][b]”[/b][/size] Type: [size=1]Electric Bass[/size] Size: [size=1]4/4[/size] Brand: [size=1]Tokai[/size] Right-/ Left-Handed: [size=1]Right-Handed[/size] MPN: [size=1]Does Not Apply[/size] No. of Strings: [size=1]4 string[/size] EAN: [size=1]Does not apply[/size] [/size][/size][/color] [b] Questions and answers about this item[/b] [color=#333333][size=1] No questions or answers have been posted about this item.[/size][/color][size=3] [url="http://contact.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ShowSellerFAQ&iid=351656344704&requested=shawa72&redirect=0&frm=284&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l1499&ssPageName=PageSellerM2MFAQ_VI"]Ask a question[b]- opens in a new window or tab[/b][/url][/size] [/size][size=3] [b] Recently viewed items[/b] [url="http://qu.ebay.co.uk/survey?srvName=merchandising+%28merch1-uk%29&extparam=pageid%3d2047675%26plmtid%3d100037"]Feedback on our suggestions[/url] [/size]

Thanks Doomed, The neck fits the description ok, But its very loose in the next pocket about a 3mm gap on one side, the body of a different bass ?

Hi Jon Thanks for getting back, It was sold to me as an early eighties Tokai Jazz and when I recieved it I took the neck off and don't understand the stamp mark in the neck pocket. The neck looks to be genuine but the body ?? The tuners have 3 screws and can be tightened by the collars. Is the body a 97 do you think Brian

Oh forgot to add, the truss rod is adjusted by an allen key, in some pics I've seen its a slotted type ???

Hi Guys Need some help again, I recently bought this 1980 ish Tokai Jazz bass and noticed right away that the neck pocked was not as tight as it should be so decided to take the neck off to see the pocket. As you can see the stamp 1997 DEM stamped on the body. Not having a Tokla before so does anybody have any idea what this might be or what should be stamped there. The neck looks ok but not great as I think someone was messing around with some lacquer spray near the nut and headstock. There is a plate at the back stamped L45786 Hope these photos help Thanks in advance guys [attachment=213363:Tokaibody.JPG][attachment=213364:Tokaiheadstock.JPG]
