trefoiled Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 (edited) [size=4][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]Hi there up for sale is a fantastic MINT CONDITION first edition TOKAI ROCKINBETTER BASS, a fantastic replica Bass, not one of the later lower quality versions. It is fitted with custom hand wound Jim Cairnes pickups, which sound amazing!!! And cost nearly £200 each. It has only had light home use and has never been gigged.[/font][/size] [size=4][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]Jim Cairnes [/font]is a pickup winder/luthier from Redcar, Middlesborough and mostly known for being the original pickup guru for Burns guitars and also being Chris Rea's guitar tech giving Chris Rea his famous 'Road to Hell' tone. The bridge pickup is fitted with a genuine surround to [/size]further create the illusion. It also comes with a semi hard case, I will consider delivering part or full distance depending on how far. [size=5][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]£550 o.n.o.[/font][/size] [attachment=93503:P1000975.JPG][attachment=93504:P1000970.JPG][attachment=93506:P1000971.JPG][attachment=93507:P1000973.JPG][attachment=93509:P1000982.JPG] Edited May 21, 2012 by MB1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
