neepheid Posted April 12, 2010 Posted April 12, 2010 (edited) Here is a Korean Tokai Thunderbird for sale or trade. You know the score on these things - 34" scale, alder body, set maple neck, 2 humbuckers, volume, volume, passive tone. I bought it for a joke to wind up our P bass loving (and everything else hating) guitarist. However, I was pleasantly surprised by its sound (good output, meaty, thick humbucker sound but with some pleasing mids) and the neck is nice and chunky, more P than J. Will take measurements later. It's finished black top to toe. There are a few scuffs on the end of the headstock and some slight marking near the bridge where I guess it was sitting in an ill-suited stand. Balances about as well as can be expected from a reverse T-bird - about horizontal with a grippy suede-y strap. Here are some pics (apologies for quality, they're on my phone): Will come with a suitable gigbag. Calling this one at £180 + postage. Edited April 20, 2010 by neepheid
Ou7shined Posted April 12, 2010 Posted April 12, 2010 Can't believe you're selling this Matt. I've played it and it has extraordinary punch for a bass in this price range.

Low End Bee Posted April 13, 2010 Posted April 13, 2010 I'm very, very tempted. Must sell the Trace combo first though. Another costly divorce would ensue otherwise
