  1. Hi there,

    I'm not sure this is 'high end' enough to really be described as porn, but what the hey... I picked mine up a week ago (a Christmas present to myself) and I am absolutely delighted. I got it from the lovely Mojobass for £260 with a Brass nut and a Schaller bridge. It sounds superb - the active pick ups make it really sing. It's been stripped down to the wood and finished beautifully - no nasties lurking under the paintwork or sander gouges here! It's a unique and classy looking instrument. It came without a scratchplate, but I was able to locate one from US...I couldn't be happier with it and why they aren't still in production baffles me.

    It looks like this:

    Now - lets see some more love fer yer Cowpokes!

  2. Cheers Lozz,

    It plays beautifully - fast neck and a lovely action right out of the box. And I think it looks stunning with a beautiful arch top. I've dug around and found a bit more info:
    Body: Flamed Sycamore Laminated Top Alder back
    Neck: Maple
    Fingerboard: Rosewood

    here's a link to the only reference I can find in Tokai's archive:

    It's a steal at £230

  4. I've got a Red/Black RV4 - straight out of the box it was incredible.

    And LOUD!

    It gets plenty of admiring glances too...sadly only from hairy, aging soundmen and not fragrant young ladies. Sigh.

    Just fretless ones left I believe - I'm amazed it took Rickenbacker so long to 'have a quiet word' with David...

    Customer service is impeccable, too.
