Tokai Hardpuncher (Black/Maple) (Sold) £375

[Bass_Guardian]

For sale is my Tokai Hardpuncher.

The only part thats un-original on the bass from what I can see are the volume/tone knobs. Easily replaced if an issue.

The bass sounds and plays brilliant. If my acoustic gas goes away I will be withdrawing this from sale

Weight: 4kg


Any questions just ask

Not really my type sorry. I'm looking for a nice 12 stringer. Thanks for the interest though.

That bass is likely to be dated 1995-1999 and not an 80s one.

The headstock design changed during this period to that of your bass...in the 1980s they were by and large a direct knock off of the Fender design.

Hmm. I'll take your word for it..

I'll amend my ad.

Price updated to reflect the date. Make no mistake though, this is a lovely bass to play and sounds great

seems to suggest the headstock and decals changed much earlier..

As in the bass could be earlier than 1995? This Tokai dating is bit of a headache.

Whereabouts in Scotland are you located please?

same sort as yours (headstock truss adjustment, headstock I think is the same) They say 80's in the advert for what it's worth..

[/quote]Ha sorry bud. A 12 string acoustic bass would be something else though!

[James_Taylor]

Do you still have this? If so, do you have any sound clips? And do you know anything and the neck width/ fretboard radius? Is it neck heavy?

Very interested, PM me :-)

[Deedee]

Don't care how old it is, it's gorgeous 😍
