TOKAI ROCKINBETTER WITH RICK HARDWARE. **ON HOLD**

[tom1946]

Taken from Karlfer's original advert that I bought it from:

"So, its a Tokai Rockinbetter (although there does not seem to be any proof Tokai make them).
Real Rick pick ups, bridge/tailpiece and wiring.
Since buying it, I asked Richard Tomson of Tomson Guitars (Wigan) to cut a new nut, as the original was not great. It has had new strings and a full set up."

This bass is totally immaculate apart from a scratch on the pickup cover. I paid £500 for it and I can't get on with it at all. I even bought a 'real' Rick and it felt exactly the same so I'm selling.

I'd like £425 delivered which, considering there is about £400 worth of Ric stuff on it is a very good deal!
If you're on a budget then this is really as close as you'll get to the real thing.

Part ex for a USA Jazz with cash from me??

Thanks for looking.

Bump!
If you like a ric and can't manage the real thing then this is amazing value for money.

Intersted in a trade for a US Highway one p-bass?

Pm'd

Tom bought this off me.
It's a superb copy with authentic hardware and I only sold it to get a P for what was a depping job(that appears now to be permanent )
Having dealt with Tom twice, I would guess it's even better than it was when he got it.
Might not be a vintage Ibby, but at that price, IMO you will be very hard pushed to get anything better in this genre.

Thats a low price. I'd rather have the actual ricky electronics and hardware as opposed to Ibanez's version and the truss rod cover is just the icing on the cake for me. Are the wings maple too? I can't see the grain too well but the neck definately is.

[tom1946]

I don't know how to tell Oli, it's just wood and a big sound to me.

Will do trades for Fender with maple board, Phil Jones suitcase with cash added obviously, WHY?

Hardcase or gig bag?
