Looks interesting, but heavy! I have to admit I don't know anything about these but it has got to be pretty unusual

Zero the skunk says yes!

Made in japan?

[KiOgon]

Is that real? Seriously

I'm sure that the Tokai and Uncle Mat (cringe) experts will be along very shortly.

[color=#000000][font=verdana, geneva, lucida,]The Big Stud retailed for about $350, rather a lot for a plywood bass...it was made by Tokai (Kasuga International) and was also marketed by Martin as the Sigma SBB2-8 and by Gretsch under the Dorado brand.[/font][/color]

I don't know anything about those, but that is one of the coolest looking basses I've ever seen. I love it!

Yes not far away Andy, but I can't say that I fancy it myself, Although I love my Ampeg Dan Armstrong Plexiglass!

Are the scratchplates and hardware actually designed to "nearly fit" like that?
