d4tux Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 (edited) It's time for a change so I'm putting up my beloved Tokai for sale/trade: [b]1985/86 Tokai LBX 60[/b] I bought this from a nice gentleman on eBay last year to rekindle my interest in the bass. It is a little battered (courtesy of its previous owners) but I treated it to a new set of D'Addario Chromes and set-up and it plays well and sounds great![list] [*]34" Scale, 24 Frets [*]Maple Neck and Rosewood Fingerboard [*]Body is either Ash or Alder - no idea which [*]TAR (Tokai Advanced Reproduction) Humbucker with Coil Tap [*]Volume and 2 x Tone Pots. Tone 1 is Push/Pull to engage coil tap.

alyctes Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 That looks tasty how does the "super detachable neck system" work? I can't see anything from any of the pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d4tux Posted February 19, 2012 Author Share Posted February 19, 2012 (edited) I think [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]"super detachable neck system" is marketing speak for a bolt-on neck.[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]As far as I can see there is nothing "super" about it but if you are still intrigued I'll take some more pics[/font][/color][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif] [/font][/color][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif] [/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]EDIT: Pic showing back of body uploaded.[/font][/color] Edited February 19, 2012 by d4tux Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alyctes Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 I have to say I'm tempted. I like the colour. It's obviously faded from the original red. Does anyone know how this colour will change in the future? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d4tux Posted February 21, 2012 Author Share Posted February 21, 2012 I'll polish it up and take some more pictures of the finish later as I don't think the phone pictures do the Metallic Red finish justice. The previous owner lived in Poole, so maybe this bass is destined to return to sunny Dorset? You're welcome to come on by have a look, play and cup of tea (optional) if you are ever in the area. Or if you wanted to collect I could meet half way... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d4tux Posted February 28, 2012 Author Share Posted February 28, 2012 Too busy to put on eBay and would prefer this to go to a good home... Price drop bump Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d4tux Posted July 29, 2012 Author Share Posted July 29, 2012 (edited) Final Price Drop - £100 Would rather this go to a BC'er than somebody on evilBay... Go on.. Grab yourself a bargain. Would make an ideal 1st bass or backup bass. Edited July 29, 2012 by d4tux Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
