cheers mate. I was thinking of heading to my local diy store 🙈

lol I try to channel paul Jackson but I think I need to have a quite word with myself about a reality check😂🤣😂. on your bass I had a look and some have a code on the neck plate and also a sticker just above with a number. That tells the model. I didn’t know some was made in Korea. My Yamaha pulser has a serial number on the headstock so I can date it to 1978-79. talkbass may be a place to ask also. Im not very familiar with tokai history sadly. Fender japan was where Ive looked mostly as I was on the hunt for a pb62-95 and pb70-95. hopefully someone will be able to help out.

Happy new year. I have a mij Yamaha pulser pbass and I lost a pickguard screw and need to replace a pickup mount screw. I notice they are different to fender and western style. I’ve looked on all parts websites and so many options. I’m no diy person so apologies the noob question. is there a specific screw the Asian builders use? I noticed all screws have codes. cheers

I was on eBay this morning and found this company as well as bloodstone guitarsworks. like your post not much info on the net.

Hey, does it any serial codes anywhere? That would help loads.

lol very true. My dad an avid Rasta would blaze reggae and lovers rock. My mum would love playing soca music.

Man I missed out on so much epic music back then. My ear picked up the pattern straight away. I’m getting better 🤩 lol. thanks for the post @Reggaebass

This is nasty. Dam it really hit me with the funk. Time to get my slap going.

I’ve bought a 70’s Yamaha pulser bass from him around October. Experience was great. I know some people start in the 9th (tomorrow). why not give him a ring? You could then leave a voicemail if you don’t get through.

Thanks for your experience. I may just give them a call actually.

how did you find the pickups with this setup?

Did you pull the trigger on these pickups? I literally found them this weekend and came on here to do a search.

This has been a very interesting convo to read. I will second what you state about the nux Melvin Lee Davis pedal for home practice. I bought one recently. I downloaded the shift line bass ir pack also (has ampeg b15 can ir). Sounds cool with headphone for silent practice. I keep switching back and forth to amp combo with my pedal attached and just pedal and headphones as the headphones vs speaker moving air experience are different. The word “connection” really feels relevant. Not sure if it was you or another member who stated this. I don’t gig. It’s more a creative outlet for me. My friend who is a gigging bass player doesn’t like iem’s but when you are playing big arena’s and touring you have no choice. He uses a quad cortex pedal.

The consensus from here at basschat and talkbass is the tonerider pickup is very similar to the seymour duncan sbp1 and the fender original 62. At a third of the price.

These are definitely rotosound swingbass 66 strings. I have them on my p bass. Also what is interesting is he has Bartolini pick ups on the bass. paul Jackson used “HI-A” pickups which was the first version on bartonlini’s. They just changed the name

I have these as well. They are not bad tbh. I use a nux Melvin Lee Davis preamp pedal with them. They do the job. They response to eq and different I.R cabs and amps. Down the road I will upgrade but I’m not in any rush tbh.

Sorry to revive such an old thread. I wondered who the person you know who winds pickups s and if you have a link to get in contact. cheers

interesting. So would you say the fender pickups have a slightly tighter bass and ever so slightly more articulation then? I’ve been waiting for a used pair to land on the market for so long.

Just listened to clips. Definitely an output difference. Also like you said the fender pickups have a boomier bass. Would be interesting if when the volume is raised how the difference is. I recently bought a jap 70’s yamaha pulser p bass. It’s pickup output is 9k when I play my other p bass I notice a big difference and have to turn the volume down.

The rotosound 77 sound rather bright for a flat wound string. I love the rotosound swing bass 66 when they are worn in and have lost the fresh sound.

Now that video is funky 🤗.

Thanks so much for this. When I get in I’ll listen with some good speakers and headphones.
