solo4652 Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 Hi, I've just come across this: [url="http://www.reidys.com/index.pl?submit=View_PLU&PLU=1812"]http://www.reidys.com/index.pl?submit=View_PLU&PLU=1812[/url] But I can't find out any more about the bass. Looks like a P-Bass copy. Where are they made? What are they made of? I've already e-mailed Tokai UK requesting information - no response as yet.

solo4652 Posted July 18, 2008 Author Share Posted July 18, 2008 Curioser and curioser... I spoke to the shop. Chap there thought they were made in China. He suggested I look at a Fender MIM, inferring that the Tokai wasn't any good at all. I e-mailed Tokai UK. Helpful chap there reckoned these basses are made in Japan with Alder bodies, Maple necks and Gotoh hardware. If that's right, it looks like a bargain at £335, wouldn't you say? I've asked the shop to check on all this and let me know. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lfalex v1.1 Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 Looks similar to their Hardpuncher model... That's a (very good) P copy. Try looking that up, too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mathewsanchez Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 I bid on a tokai P bass on ebay, sadly didn't win (think its the Hard Puncher 'Lfalex' is talking about). Here's a link: [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230270580597"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...em=230270580597[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedontcarebear Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 Will be made in japan like my old AJB, good basses, basically a Jap Fender. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 tbh id imagine that would rival US basses, id almost say for certain itd be a better punt than a mim fender Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
