  1. Thank you Joe - yes, pretty much the same with the neck. I'm far from Jaco, but those who've played on this have all commented how wonderful it plays & with eyes closed is basically the best of the Fender MIJs!
  2. 1983 Tokai TJB75J Jazz Sound Bass Reduced to £600 Fabulous fretless playing just like it should & sounding even better. A little bit of history to how I found it is detailed in the link to the thread below, but essentially a special order 75 model based upon a Japanese lined & grooved black fretless 70 model. All original apart from the aged control plate & scratchplate along with NOS knobs. Most importantly it plays & sounds superb, but fretless is not for me any more so time to let go. A little stumped regarding pricing, as gut feeling is saying around £1000 if all original for an early Japanese 75 model in excellent condition, so £700 as it stands with the plate & control mods seems realistic *but now reduced to £600.* I’m in Bedford but don’t currently have a suitable case for shipping although I’m sure we could always arrange something if required, but would hugely prefer you to visit to have a noodle to see if it’s for you before parting with any lolly. My journey ID'ing it with Sigmania on the Tokai forum here: https://www.tokaiforum.com/threads/fretless-jazz-sound-tjb-xx.31075/ Not hugely interested in trades, unless it’s a fretted Fender or potentially a Jack Casady. Cheers Tim
  3. Bought a lovely little Line6 wireless set-up from Alex - all absolutely perfect & a pleasure from start to finish - smashing! Thanks Alex Tim
  4. Congrats on the Peavey, & fully appreciate value is very different to cost - especially with a unique handmade scratchplate - perhaps you could make one yourself? All the best with your search T
  5. YOU guys are amazing, thank you 😌 Oh @prowla, you know I have a soft spot for Mustangs don't you . . . Thanks again fellas T
  6. Really chuffed to have added a little something to the party @NancyJohnson - looks stunning 😎 Cheers T
  7. Just the best X Late to the party but in now 🙌
  8. Oh I'm a member of the 'can't wait for the weather to pick up' club myself 🙄😂 Hope all goes smoothly & look forward to seeing it in its new home once all completed. Enjoy the journey . . .
  9. Fantastic - thanks so much! Have we seen it on here 👀🙏
  10. Brilliant - thanks so much oldslapper, order received & I've just Emailed you an easy to print template to get the ball rolling . . . 🙌
  11. This is absolutely true 🙌 Thank you so much for your kind words, & apologies for only just seeing your post - good grief! All the very best T
  12. Thanks Bassassin, exactly that - plus the actual case/body has different integral mounts so it's thrown me a bit. First world problem as it sounds great, but would be terrific to know who's behind it . . .
  13. Howdy all, Any of your gurus able to ID this humbucker? I'm curious as it's been plopped into an old Mustang seemingly a long time ago. The poles look remarkably Wal/DiMarzio but I haven't seen a case shape or mount like this before & it has a slight metallic sparkle to it - any ideas at all? Yep, it does sound stunning though! Many thanks Tim
  14. Guilty as charged m'lud 🫡
