[quote name='eubassix' post='988186' date='Oct 14 2010, 04:44 PM'].. what do those 2-digit number stickers on these Tokai's mean? ... this bass appears to have a '45' - I've seen others with IIRC 85 and 90 ?....[/quote] Hi, I assumed they were export ID numbers or something similar, all he 80's Tokais I have owned have had one, I had a Jaco type fretless with 46 on it but the P bass (Hardpuncher) had another number - if anyone can enlighten us......?

[quote name='Ou7shined' post='987939' date='Oct 14 2010, 12:19 PM']I'd like to commend you firstly on a lovely looking bass and secondly on actually letting us see your duvet cover with little racing cars on it. [/quote] Ha! Ha! Actually its worse than that its a shirt and yes I have worn it......!

This is now SOLD! Selling off a few things to make room for new projects, this is an original Tokai Jazz Sound 'Oldies But Goldies' in original - and rare - metallic blue finish. Made in Japan with an L series prefix serial making it an '83 model. This is the series of instruments that made CBS scratch their heads and invent the Squier brand! This bass is an exceptional player and light and well balanced with a killer Jazz tone. It really nails that sweet spot Jazz sound (hence the name!). It's in excellent condition with a couple of minor dings and chips to the finish on the edges. The logo is intact (often they faded, were rubbed off or they were replaced with the 'F' word) and is the rare block type only used during a short period of production (presumably due to copyright issues). The neck is straight and frets are fine, the only non original feature is that the scratchplate has been sprayed black at some point. As near to a vintage jazz as you'll get for less than a new MIM Jazz. I'm looking at around 300 for it as I need a quick sale and that my bass playing friends is a bloody bargain for a 27 year old Jap Tokai!

Yes a nice EA 12" cab would do the trick if anyone has one?

No interest in a fine bass? Ok price drop to 285 (its already v.cheap but I need to turn it round quick) or trade for a decent small 12 or 10 8ohm cab.

[quote name='Kev' post='986161' date='Oct 12 2010, 08:11 PM']Its the old streamer standard, prerequisite to the Rockbass, only they were actually made in germany and have a proper Warwick Ovankgol neck. Often see the 4 strings going for cheap prices on here, this is the first 5 i have seen and i actually really quite like it! Alot of bass for the money![/quote] Yes it's a proper german one, thought I'd pass it on to someone who appreciates this kind of neck as it doesn't really do it for me - I'm a bit of a traditionalist. I'll also be putting my old 83 Tokai 'Jazzsound' on here shortly as I need to thin down my collection as currently looking for a new project.

In terms of a trade I'm interested in a Trace T bass - preferably 5 string or any nice 5 string with cash adjustment (from my side). Or I'd do a straight swap for a decent small 12" cab such as an EBS. Its a really nice bass to play and very versatile.

[quote name='Truckstop' post='985690' date='Oct 12 2010, 01:31 PM']Will you consider p/x if you see anything you fancy in my sig. (except the Yamaha, the GK or the EBS)? That looks dangerously cheap for a Warwick. What's the catch? Truckstop[/quote] No catch, times are tough so I'm out for a quick sale.

Selling my Warwick Streamer Standard 5 string, its a German one in excellent conditon with only a few small dings and a bit of buckle rash on the back. Plays and sounds great. I'm willing to post at cost if necessary. Looking for 295 cash. Message me for more info but I think this sums it up. [attachment=61144:IMGP1615.JPG] [attachment=61145:IMGP1617.JPG]

Very tempting! PM sent.

Hi, the streamer is the two pickup version, German made with passive electrics and two soapbars (MEC), its newly strung and is in a dark natural finish with a lovely neck again dark (wenge?). The neck is in excellent condition with little fretwear, the body has a bit of bucklerash and here are a couple of minor dings, typical built like a tank German engineering! I'm new to this forum so not sure about posting pics, I ccould send pics via email though. It comes with a Warwick gigbag. I'm happy to post it by the way. The string spacing is good, not too wide but I don't play it enough and I'm after a nice Jazz. Pics on my recent post for it here - [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=106327"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=106327[/url]

If you accept paypal and you are willing to post I will have it, I'm based in Lancashire, I could pay you asap, PM me details if still available, been after a decent 6 for ages. Cheers

Hi Marc, sadly I don't have the time to travel so far, I'm either gigging or working...or sleeping! Good luck with it, it looks fantastic, I'm looking for a 5 string Jazz type bass within this price range but I have so little time on my hands I guess I'll have to let this one go. Regards

I'm interested in making an offer if you could post as I live up north, PM me cheers
