lee650 Posted April 27, 2017 Posted April 27, 2017 (edited) Im selling my Tokai 83 MIJ factory lined fretless jazz. It's in immaculate condition with a recently sanded rosewood board.very light Alder body in a slightly greenish lake placid blue and I've replaced the scratchplate with a mint green pearl guard and new chrome knobs (I have the original pickguard, which had warped over time and didn't fit properly but will be included) It has the reverse gear tuners as per 60's and currently fitted with Dunlop super bright nickels. This is a future collectors item as it is in fantastic condition for its age and sounds amazing. Everybody knows how great these are and a forerunner to Fender Japan The build quality is on par with the 82 Squire JV that I own ( and are going for silly money) It also comes with a tweed hard case (it's very tatty but functional). I'll be wanting £515 incl UK only delivery.Apologies but I do not want to post overseas! �� I've ran out of pic storage,so I can email more pics to any interested parties �� Edited August 30, 2017 by lee650
JoeEvans Posted April 28, 2017 Posted April 28, 2017 (edited) Wow - I've got one of these, factory lined fretless and all, and I've never seen another one! I like it more than any other bass I've ever played. Mine now has Bartolini pickups which made it even better, but the main thing is the feel of the neck and the overall tone.

GuyR Posted April 28, 2017 Posted April 28, 2017 I have one too. Fabulous basses. I would never sell mine, but good luck selling yours.
BeeBop Posted May 9, 2017 Posted May 9, 2017 I have car issues right now .. Just checked the Map says it ll take two days to walk ..ha ha .. Nice bass GLWTS
BeeBop Posted May 10, 2017 Posted May 10, 2017 Cheers for your kind offer of jumping a train.. I would like to try before I buy and if it didn't work out then we have both had a wasted train journey ... I shouldn't really be looking until I have transport in place ... I played a 90 s tokai fretless neck a long time ago and it was very good ...trouble was I had to give it back as it wasn't mine ..I always wonder what happened to it ..

lee650 Posted August 19, 2017 Author Posted August 19, 2017 Japanese quality at less than the going rate for exactly the same basses with Fender on the headstock. Extremely light and in immaculate condition for a 34 year old instrument. It's also the coolest colour ever with a tone to die for!!.
Jorduan Posted August 19, 2017 Posted August 19, 2017 I owned one very similar, was a fantastic bass. Good luck with the sale!
