whaleboys Posted April 1, 2016 Posted April 1, 2016 (edited) Classic Tokai Jazz Sound Bass for sale I have a beautiful 1980's gold Tokai Jazz Sound bass for sale. It is in fantastic condition given its age. I have seen these selling for upwards of £700 on eBay, but have priced it for a quick sale.I am looking for offers over £350. Number is L15378. A few cosmetic dents and signs of wear, but it plays and sounds great! Please see more photos here: [url="https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=705DAC41C9610B70!33484&authkey=!AED28Qy0RlN-f-8&ithint=folder%2cJPG"]https://onedrive.liv...nt=folder%2cJPG[/url] Ideally, the buyer would collect from Cambridge UK.

Mattmit Posted April 1, 2016 Posted April 1, 2016 (edited) Wow that's cool as hell. And cheap. I'm sorted for jazzes and Tokais but this really stands out in the forum. Edited April 1, 2016 by Mattmit

Traded it with the Beedster IIRC.. Anyway, it sounded and played as well as, if not better, than a '66 Jazz that I had once. GLWTS Edited April 1, 2016 by silverfoxnik
whaleboys Posted April 1, 2016 Author Posted April 1, 2016 Thanks for the comments guys - yes it is a lovely instrument. I don't really play bass - so would like it to go to someone who can appreciate it and get more use out of it. I am looking to get another 6 string with the proceeds!
talalala Posted April 1, 2016 Posted April 1, 2016 Hi whaleboys, I've already bumped into this beauty in eBay. Again, my question is the same: would you consider shipping it Hungary? Thanks
lee650 Posted April 2, 2016 Posted April 2, 2016 I've just bought a Teal green fretless version of this bass and have been blown away by how good it is (I paid more than this too) Bump for a great bass

whaleboys Posted April 2, 2016 Author Posted April 2, 2016 [quote name='dafonky' timestamp='1459542992' post='3017636'] Hi What is the weight please? [/quote] Hi - the weight is 3.9KG
whaleboys Posted April 2, 2016 Author Posted April 2, 2016 [quote name='Kevan' timestamp='1459527277' post='3017457'] Hi, what actual year is this from? [/quote] Sorry - I don't know the exact year - early 1980's i believe. Maybe someone can age it from the pictures. I found it a bit confusing on the Tokai registry to give a precise date.
mojobass Posted April 2, 2016 Posted April 2, 2016 I've a white one of these with same headstock logo and mines an '84 so I'd hues it's to same or '85. Wish I could afford this to compliment it! Excellent basses these

I will miss it, but don't play it enough to justify keeping it.

silverfoxnik Posted April 4, 2016 Posted April 4, 2016 Really surprised that this is still here, as these early 80's Tokai basses are superb!
whaleboys Posted April 5, 2016 Author Posted April 5, 2016 Hi - thanks to everyone who expressed an interest, but this bass has now sold for £400 (for anyone selling a similar one in future).
