I have a Tokai Thunderbird bass, not sure on year so have put the serial on the photos if anyone knows, I’m assuming it’s Indonesia or China made. It’s actually in great condition and has absolutely monstrous pickups. I only bought it cos I’ve always wanted to have one, impossible to gig with in my opinion but aren’t all thunderbirds, I end up with a sore neck and back holding it up. But sat down at home or in studio it’s loads of fun for a really heavy sound. Prefer this to the Epiphone ones and this was cheaper than an Epi. Paid £220 a few years ago, happy to take £200 now. Need the space for moving home. No case as they don’t fit in anything! Might want to swap the strap pins as they’re for a strap lock that isn’t a schaller like my others. Any questions just let me know 👍

Yamaha BB414 and Epiphone EB3 Spares or Repair - *SOLD*
StuarDaddy posted a topic in Basses For Sale
I have a couple of basses that need someone to just sort them out. The Epiphone EB3 works but I lost one of the string guides on the bridge so has been on 3 strings for too long, was gonna lose another one and go down the Morphine route 🤣. Will need setting up as well as I had some heavy gauge flats on it years back and needed tweaking for them. Had it since 1999 brand new and just haven’t used it, moving house so getting rid of the ones just lying round as I won’t have as much storage. Yamaha BB414 I bought as a back up a few years back for a few gigs I was doin. Used it then but it’s just sat there now. It’s actually a great bass but has a broken tone pot stem (can turn it with a plec), the jack socket could do with a bit of tlc and the selector is very loose. Apart from that it’s great! 🤣🤣. Needs strings as well. I have no idea what to sell for as they are what they are. Paid £80 for the 414 in this condition so would take that back and the Epi needs a bit of love so will just take £60. Gig bag with each as well. Any questions just let me know 👍 -

Warmoth Custom P Bass with Bareknuckle Pickups

I have a Warmoth based P bass built by a pro bass player (who I bought it off) and then finished off by Monty’s Guitars in London It has an Warmoth Alder body finished in Black Cherry which is hard to photograph as its only on close inspection under light that you see the cherry side of the sparkle, it looks black 99% of the time. Tried to capture it on photos. Warmoth Super Bass Maple neck finished with a vintage tint, Indian rosewood board and cream/clay dots, I will double check the width when I get home, feels in-between 43-44mm to me Bareknuckle Pickup (thinks its the 65 standards) Hipshot Vintage Bridge Hipshot Ultralite Black Tuners Thomastik Infeld Flatwound Strings Hard case comes with the bass, its still in half decent condition and happily protects for carrying around purposes It is a fantastic bass, the best neck I've ever played and I feel a bit awful selling it as the guy I bought it off was great and wanted it to go to a good home. Sadly I'm moving home in the next month or so and I'm having to thin down what I have as space is a bit more limited. Can post at cost or available for collection or even meet up distance dependant Any questions just ask away. Here's a link to the YouTube video that he did after building it, I haven't made any changes to it so its as shown in the videos apart from the decal which he removed before selling, you can see the outline on the photos if you ever wanted to replace it. PS Just added a photo with the weight, it’s 4.3kg👍

Yeh it is a black scratch plate just a 4 ply one. I'd read that Fender weren't exactly on the ball QC wise late 70s and early 80s so was maybe just putting it down to that. as long as the rest was ok though I might take the plunge

Not too sure myself was seeing if it looked familiar to anyone?

I’ve been offered this precision which dates to 77/78 on serial number, pots are dating to 76 (which isn’t uncommon I believe) can anyone make out the pickup date? Also the scratchplate serial doesn’t match the head serial is this a concern or a common thing with 70s fender? My other concern was the neck markings R Friend as I can’t find much info on that name and some forums have suggested it’s either an in house fender joke or a fake???? Also the neck pocket isn’t stamped and there is just a W? In pen or pencil and there’s an extra 2 holes in the middle of the neck bolt holes, I was thinking maybe hanging holes or clamp for a refinish Or is this common also? Phew Cheers in advance!
