[font="Comic Sans MS"]For Sale this wonderful Percision style bass. I bought it as a project 4 months ago. Has a set of seymour Duncan active P pups (bass line) schaller machine heads. Fret board dressed, new scratch plate and all new pots and wiring by Trevor Buck at PMT in Birmingham. He has routered out a housing for the battery under the sctatch plate. It has a really easy action and some classic P bass tones from the Seymours Duncans. Who ever had it before me has rubbed out the name so i really have no idea of where it came from. They also tried to sand down the top of the body for some reason. Does give it an aged look. Trevor at PMT did say it has a Ash Body. It plays really well and i think look great. Has a classic shape and feel of a P bass neck, and the set up has brought it a new lease of life. As always those intrested are invited to visit and try Bargin at £200 including postage[/font] [attachment=69011:JJG_8570.JPG] [attachment=69013:JJG_8572.JPG] [attachment=69014:JJG_8573.JPG] [attachment=69015:JJG_8574.JPG] [attachment=69012:JJG_8571.JPG] [attachment=69016:JJG_8578.JPG]

[font="Comic Sans MS"]I bought this back in March from one of our fellow Bass Chatters. It is in Excellent condition. The only change is is no longer has wizard pickups, i replaced with Seymour Duncans, which really enhance the sound. Here is the original info from the original Post. It is such an easy bass to play. brilliant Jazz sound to some great deep smooth sounds. It has such a distictive sound. I would encourage those intrested to come over and try it out.[/font]. It has one small scratch and a crack in the scratch plate ( see photos) £265 This is another of my 'really nice' bass's, 80's Tokai Jazz sound in beautiful condition. Tokai Jazz Sound '60s-Style Bass in Candy Apple Red Upgraded Bridge & New Strings Excellent Condition If you know about Tokai basses, you'll be aware the Jazz Sound is (along with the 'P-Bass' Hardpuncher counterpart) their most sought after 'Fender' model and represents basses of the highest and consistent quality. If you don’t know about Tokai guitars then the company’s quality is renowned as being second to none and considered by many professional players to be equal to (and frequently exceeding) that of the American original counterparts made at the time. Tokais have a devoted following worldwide, most evident through the Tokai Registry (link below), and in the past few years their instruments have become highly collectable and sought after, particularly in both the UK and US markets. High-end Tokais are now consistently recognised as genuine classics and frequently termed the ‘Second Golden Age’ by the various specialist music journals. [url="http://www.tokairegistry.com/index.html"]http://www.tokairegistry.com/index.html[/url] This bass has been very well looked after throughout its life and as can be seen from the photos, it is in great condition for its age. I would rate it at 9/10. The neck is straight and true, currently with action set to low/medium, and all frets are in great condition with no signs of needing any work whatsoever. This is the Jazz Sound model with the Tokai designed headstock - as made popular by The Police's Andy Summers who used Tokai Breezysound Teles for many years. From the Tokai Registry site, it appears to be characteristic of the company's mid/late 1980s models. It also fully guarantees that it really is a Tokai and not a re-transferred Hondo, Columbus, Satellite etc (anyone who grew up with those will know exactly what I am talking about!) - there are Tokai decal transfers sold on ebay so watch out for those! Having looked through the Tokai Registry dating/ID information, 1985/6 seems the time of the 'Lawsuit' headstock..........
