Nice bit of 'Jap Crap'

Nice L/H Maya Jazz, looks in good condition.
If it's anything like my P-Bass & Rickenfaker - a lovely instrument, worth the price IMHO.
Shame it's a lefty! :)

[quote name='Bassassin' post='64379' date='Sep 23 2007, 03:05 PM']Nice - but being a lefty & a bit on the dear side (considering the twin truss Rick copy sold for £170 yesterday - :) ) means it probably won't sell.

Maybe it's the time of year - but JapCrap isn't selling the way it was a couple of months back.

That's quite true actually. That Rick copy did go quite cheap, considering prices seen in the past months for similar basses.
You could have ended up with a matching pair of Kasugas there!

Talking of which my Kasuga ES-175 ends today, though I'm not too unhappy with it's current price...

That Rickalike wasn't a Kasuga - everything about it (apart from the dual rods) says Matsumoku to me.

Blimey - didn't know that was your ES-175! Not a bad price atm, still time for some eleventh-hour Ebay madness.

And you do know that Kasugas [i]weren't[/i] made in the Tokai factory, don't you? :)

Yes that's mine. A lovely guitar, but running out of space. Plus, I'm a bassplayer.
I understood that [i]Kasuga manufactured guitars for Tokai[/i] as well as other suppliers(?)
That is according to several sources including vintageguitar.com, & even the Tokai forum.

Yes - they did - some Tokai branded guitars were built by Kasuga, in the Kasuga factory. This is plainly quantifiably different - but all's fair in love, war & Fleabay! :huh: :huh:

And I take it you're a happy boy with the final price? :)
