Bassassin Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 [quote name='Bassman Sam' post='1050137' date='Dec 7 2010, 03:11 AM']or anyone else. Caught my eye on the bay. what's the story with them, Any good? [/quote] Yes. I've got one: [attachment=65865:rbugporn.jpg] Extraordinarily well-made, if a bit heavy, mine's customised a bit but original hardware is largely the same as most other MIJ copies, apart from the large closed-back tuners. Pickups are Maxons, very accurate copies of the original parts, stamped with a date code which gives approximate age of the bass. Bolt-neck construction, mono output, these came in a few different colour schemes & the white top here is a factory finish, not a very common one though. Kasuga Gakki was a manufacturer in its own right with a factory in Nagoya, until quite recently best-known for doing contract work for Tokai in the early/mid 70s. Their own brands, plus their other OEM output (which includes Aria, Electra, Arbiter, Northern etc) are now getting more sought-after based on their quality & comparative scarcity. The Ebay one's a very striking bass and may well not go cheap! Jon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Foxen Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 Probably fairly local to me if anyone wants a third party check up of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
