[quote name='Fabrocker' timestamp='1342024456' post='1728340'] How much? [/quote] I'm not looking at a cash price presently I would ideally want a trade down plus cash obviously dependent on what is on offer. -
[quote name='Rayman' timestamp='1341952014' post='1727023'] I played this bass on Sunday, and take my word for it, it's fabulous. I would definitely be having it myself if I had the cash. [/quote] Thanks Russ yes I could sense you were rather taken with it! Short scale bump!

A G&L ASAT bass could also tempt me!

Got this with a view to using the body for a project but its actually a nice bass in its own right. I was told it was made by a luthier but it looks like a parts bass to me [i]put together by a luthier.[/i] Its solidly made and the body is quite heavy suggesting decent woods. Its shielded and has active pickups with a disconnected tone circuit ( possibly an easy fix). The neck feels nice rather more Precision bass than Jazz but fretting is good. It would make a nice cheap standby bass or something to modify. There is no back coverplate and there's a bit of gaffa over it at the moment. It has a really punchy sound.

ash replied to ash's topic in Basses For Sale
Up again -
I had my Kasuga taken off yesterday, never had it on before, no references to the R brand and whilst reading the 'trademark infringement' message from eBay up popped a picture of a Retrovibe in the main eBay ad ....... funny old world
-
Some of those names are in my blocked list too!

Another great trade with Russ, very pleased and hope you enjoy the Fender, a pleasure to meet up again and chin wag all things bass! Take it easy mate. Ash

Pics would be nice I'm interested!

Thanks chaps, yes one of those rare ebay bargains - it's got a slightly deeper neck compared to my JVs but much lighter in weight - its a classy bass and I would've happily paid more, these 90s MIJs are well worth scouting for.

[quote name='OliverBlackman' timestamp='1341619473' post='1722061'] the bridge saddles are different to my tokai. Looks older if anything and i think mines an '86 [/quote] In the original ad he says that the saddles have been changed, also it would be an earlier model.

I think that honor should go to Mr deanovw but I'd be happy to deputise if necessary!

[quote name='Mr Bassman' timestamp='1341602897' post='1721791'] I'd say the neck at least is [url="http://hank75.blogspot.co.uk/2009/09/tokai-jazz-sound-1983.html"]Tokai[/url] judging by the machines 50 year old Fender machines look like this [attachment=112384:photo-11.JPG] [/quote] Agreed as soon as I saw the heads I thought Tokai Jazz Sound. Tokai also rather cheekily used an L prefix on their early MIJ serial numbers. Approach with caution.

[quote name='jcater' timestamp='1341575769' post='1721142'] I have a 1977 Precision exactly the same as this which i bought new - £300 in Denmark street back in the summer of 77. Although i have retired it from gigs it is still my first choice for any studio trips. I think the price for this is really good value. I cannot believe that it has not already gone. jeff [/quote] Thanks for the kind words Jeff - I think it's on it's way though!

Epiphone Sidewinder 'mudbucker' pickup for sale £22 incl postage in the UK. It's in very good condition. Here's a picture of one on an EB3 bass. http://www.music123.com/bass/epiphone-ltd-ed-worn-eb-3-electric-bass-guitar

You wouldn't be interested in a part trade with my Kasuga Rickenfacker would you? I think this looks a very lovely bass.
-
I have a no name custom Jazz bass with active pickups if you are interested. It was put together by a luthier and plays well, sounds even better and it's well made.
-
[quote name='Rayman' timestamp='1341491197' post='1719910'] It's a fabulous example, I've seen it in the wood so to speak. Bargain. [/quote] Cheers Russ yes it's a beauty and I think the price is fair for what is a very playable and well constructed 70s era bass.

To the top!

[quote name='Stag' timestamp='1341355209' post='1717790'] Thought you sold this old bean? Is this back up with a vengeance? [/quote] I have a potential buyer who is coming to play it this weekend hopefully but it's still a bit tentative so I thought I'd give it a bump for insurance purposes!

[quote name='Linus27' timestamp='1341350204' post='1717660'] That so looks like my old bass. May I ask where you got it from and how long you have had it. I think I sold mine around 2001/2002 on Ebay. [/quote] I got it from a localish musician from the Greater Manchester area who said he had owned it for many years.
