Annoying Twit Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 I don't recognise this bass. I presume it's not an MIJ. What is it?

Pete Academy Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Might just be a Tokai neck on a different body. Frankentokai, maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorick Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Loooks like a stripped down 80's hardpuncher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassassin Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 (edited) I spotted this last night - now, I have seen one of these before and I can't remember where, which is incredibly irritating. It's not in the Tokai Registry catalogue archive, or any of the Japanese catalogue collections I have links to. It's possible it was an old Ebay listing (or even someone on here) but I'm 99% sure that it's 80s, MIJ and isn't a Frankenbass It stuck in my mind because it's quite similar to my cheap-but-sexy Aria STB-GT - bound flamed maple top, maple fretboard etc. The pics are poor so there's no telling what kind of state this one is in, but it might well have the potential to be a significant bargain for one of youse lot. Jon. *EDIT* Found it - it's a 1982 Hardpuncher Limited Edition. Here's one on TB (bottom of the page): [url="http://www.talkbass.com/forum/showthread.php?t=542180"]http://www.talkbass.com/forum/showthread.php?t=542180[/url] Edited August 10, 2010 by Bassassin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
