dafonky Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 (edited) Brilliant Jazz bass built during the 80'ies, with a very rare J/J/J configuration (3 Jazzbass pickups) , volume,tone and 2 pickup switches. This is not the basic "Jazz Sound " model, but the much better "Custom Edition " model with Sen body ( japanese ash), solid hardware, tuners, strong pickups and a real nice jazzbass neck with 60'ies pre cbs Jazzbass frets . A lot of tonal possibilities , including a 70'ies jazzbass sound, a faboulus jacoish sound or a Stingray / Sabre - like sound ( there is a video on youtube with Danny Stewart from bass japan direct demonstrating this nice MIJ Jazz bass) make it a very usefull bass both for playing live and recording. This MIJ Jazzbass is 100% original, everything is working fine (truss rod, electronics), frets are in very good shape. This Tokai sounds much better than its price might tell ! I prefer Precision neck shapes, therefore I stay with my Custom Edition Precision from the same period . Comes with a gigbag No trades please Edited June 16, 2016 by dafonky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grangur Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 This looks a really interesting bass. More, closer-up pictures would help your sale. Also, on a mobile, folk can't see where you are. So it's useful to tell people where you live. Also, as you live in Germany, folk in the UK (most people here) would like to know if the price includes the carriage to the UK. This bass is really tempting, but I really shouldn't be buying more basses. GLWTS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dafonky Posted June 11, 2016 Author Share Posted June 11, 2016 Thanks for your advice ! Indeed, it's a very very interesting and rare Tokai, most of these 80'ies are classic J- basses . Here we go : I can offer shipping from Germany to EU . Some more pics will follow immediately Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silverfoxnik Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 Very interesting and cool bass - never seen one of these before.. The video is brilliant and that guy is an amazing player and he really does show off the tonal possibilities of the instrument. GLWTS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tandro Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 Would be lovely if I had the space and money for this. I'm starting to get partial to these older Japanese basses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
