herr rocket Posted Sunday at 10:55 Share Posted Sunday at 10:55 (edited) Model : Tokai Jazz Sound 120 Year : 1981 Body : Sen or Alder Pickguard : Tokai "Coffee" Tortoise Neck : "C" shape, maple Frets . original small vintage Tuners : original reverse fender/kluson type footprint (only on the 60, 80, 85fl and 120 model) Fingerboard : Veneer Rosewood from South America (only on the 120 model) Finish : Polished thin Nitro (only on the 120 model) Pickups : Tokai Vintage grey bottom (only on the 80, 85fl and 120 model) The bass is in a very good condition. Some dings mostly on the back of the body and the bigest one is on the side but nothing major The sunburst and the varnish are one of a kind, natural relic that you can't simulate The bass is perfect in terms of playability. The neck is absolutely not warp at all, great original fretwork was edited by PLEK, truss rod works smoothly. The 120 model is the highest priced lawsuit jazz bass of the japanese history as far as I know. 120=120000 Yens in 81 Weight is 4,32kg. This case is for decoration and not included. A other case for shipping is included. Edited Monday at 11:00 by herr rocket 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LukeFRC Posted Monday at 09:04 Share Posted Monday at 09:04 (edited) wow - thats a rare beast! I've only ever seen one online before. YOu'll maybe struggle to send Brazilian Rosewood to the UK by the way because of CITES ? (but without a case thats a moot point) where in Germany are you based?

Not to derail this thread but they lifted the ban on rosewood musical instruments a few years back I believe (here’s the first thing that popped up on google). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rosewood generically, Indian etc yes, but Brazilian Rosewood (Dalbergia nigra) no. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t realise that, I missed out on a bass I’d been after forever (fretless peavey T-40) because of the CITES law in 2018 (I think!?) then they changed the rules. Maybe it’ll relax further at some point on vintage stuff. Thanks for the education! anyway, beautiful bass! Good luck with the sale 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
