Bass_Guardian Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 (edited) 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 [url="https://flic.kr/p/Js8HN9"][/url][url="https://flic.kr/p/Js8HN9"]DSC_0269[/url] by [url="https://www.flickr.com/photos/128378472@N06/"]Alex Shields[/url], on Flickr [url="https://flic.kr/p/Js9cRU"][/url][url="https://flic.kr/p/Js9cRU"]DSC_0270[/url] by [url="https://www.flickr.com/photos/128378472@N06/"]Alex Shields[/url], on Flickr [url="https://flic.kr/p/Hz8GJj"][/url][url="https://flic.kr/p/Hz8GJj"]DSC_0272[/url] by [url="https://www.flickr.com/photos/128378472@N06/"]Alex Shields[/url], on Flickr [url="https://flic.kr/p/Hz9E9s"][/url][url="https://flic.kr/p/Hz9E9s"]2016-06-25_04-01-47[/url] by [url="https://www.flickr.com/photos/128378472@N06/"]Alex Shields[/url], on Flickr **I've decided to re-list this as I've now got a hankering for a Fretless** Edited July 19, 2017 by Bass_Guardian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NancyJohnson Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 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.
