Lovely!Just joined the club too

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1466893717' post='3079650'] Another Hardpuncher! They'll be flavour of the month at this rate! [/quote] Theyre lovely!

[quote name='tobiewharton' timestamp='1466893308' post='3079643'] Did you get this from DaytonaRik? Looks like it could be my old bass. Cheers, Tobie [/quote] Not sure. Got it from a guy on Facebook. Not sure if he's on here

Just acquired a new bass today from a lovely chap for what I think was a great price. It's a black/maple (quite possibly my favourite combo for a precision)Tokai Hard Puncher. Not had a chance to give it welly yet through an amp and I think the strings could do with a change but I'm happy as Larry with it Excuse the poor mobile photos.

I do like pink basses! Joking of course, it's a cracker

[quote name='gjones' timestamp='1466702785' post='3078053'] Hmmmmmm......I saw that Tokai on Facebook. I assumed it was an early one due to the logo and the Fender like headstock. The newer ones have slightly different shaped headstocks like this [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Excellent-Tokai-Jazz-Bass-AJB-70-MIJ-150411-/231707819252?hash=item35f2dcbcf4:g:Y-YAAOSwstxVKREj"]http://www.ebay.co.u...-YAAOSwstxVKREj[/url] [/quote] Yeh I'm buying it off the guy on FB

[quote name='Geek99' timestamp='1466696171' post='3077983'] Yes they do, mr sarcastic [/quote] Sorry wasn't trying to come across that way was under the impression they were all Jap made this is why I need this forum.

I think the previous owner bought it in 2010 but even that was second hand. I'll upload a pic of the headstock. Don't know if it looks like an 80's headstock.

[quote name='Geek99' timestamp='1466687750' post='3077898'] 2011 perhaps, china? [/quote] Did they even make Tokai basses in China?

Yamaha!

Hi Guys, Very good chance I'll be picking up a lovely Tokai Hard Puncher in the near future. Just wondering how to date these things without going through all those catalogs. The serial is CN11060112 Any ideas what year it might be? Thanks in advance, Alex

Might set my bass on fire later. Looks pretty cool!

Definitely an interesting looking bass! I like it
