PURPOLARIS Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 Just bought this [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&item=140332609892"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...em=140332609892[/url] from E-Bay. I was tempted by the colour, maple neck and made in Japan 80's. Unfortunately the description and photo aren't great but thought I could always sell it on if I wanted to. Hoping to pick it up tomorrow on the way to a gig, I might even give it a run out at the gig if it's playable enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll post some better pics as well when I get it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doctor_of_the_bass Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 Nice one! Hard to really tell from the pic but it looks in good condition! I've got one of these, mine was originally the same colour but it got refinished in vintage white back in the mid 80s and the original p/up was replaced by a DiMarzio. The build quality is superb, almost on a par with the original Tokai range imho. I think the model name is the MB-0101 (Jon will probably correct me on this!). If you ever want to sell it, get in touch, be nice to have another one! Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
