    That price was very keen.

    No - just rise above it. People are people, some have manners, some don't, some have communication skills, some don't. Most of us love saying 'Yes' but hate saying 'No'. If we can avoid saying 'No' by walking away quietly, then that's what many will do. There's no point taking it seriously, even less in taking it personally. Just move on.

    Stew, this is only because I'd run in that Midget so well for you ...

    Hmmmmm ... as usual, Oscar Wilde got it right, at least for some people. The only thing worse than being talked about is not being talked about.

    I always look forward to Saint Paddy's Ext.
  6. Happy Jack
    Good spot, Tiny. I completely missed that ...

    Depends ... is it FRFR?

    I've played DB through all manner of completely unsuitable equipment: Orange Terror Bass 500, Trace Elliot Elf, Gallien Krueger MB500, Aguilar Tonehammer 350. You know what? It always sounds like a DB. Yes, it sounds better played through some of the high-end, specialist, DB amplification I've used, but not THAT much better! And if it's for home use, please forgive the slightly disparaging tone, but who cares? It's only you who's going to hear it.

    Do you reckon he's also a bounder?

    Presumably to pay the heating bills in the rehearsal room?

    I imagine most experienced Basschatters are simply gobsmacked to find that I own a Tenson. It's not a brand I think I'm associated with. 😁

    I cannot tell a lie, Mick. It's me. I'd have thought the username was a bit of a giveaway. The bass was advertised here for a week first, but I wasn't entirely buried under the landslide of enquiries.

    I don't see why getting paid in bacon sarnies should be held against you.

    Why doesn't this poll have a category for 'Flakes & Fantasists'?

    Too tight for my agricultural finger style, but that looks like a shedload of bass for the money.
  16. Happy Jack
    Yup - I'm genuinely astonished that no one has jumped on these yet!

    I've been asked about the case for this bass. Sadly, I don't have a Fender hardcase for this, just a Hiscox LiteFlite like this: https://www.dawsons.co.uk/hiscox-liteflite-standard-electric-bass-guitar-case?gclid=Cj0KCQjwkd3VBRDzARIsAAdGzMDD7jagSvDvIBq6gNOpzFYEN8bdhM-N9VC6XzJSn0evxwGpFGr21XoaArPDEALw_wcB

    ... I'd go to a different shop.

    Well, I say "plastic" but it might well be something far more exotic, like naugahyde. I have no idea what naugahyde is, but I know that Americans talk about it. A bit like rutabega. And coodies. It's not as cool as the leather one I'm selling, but it's still a genuine relic from that era, and one for the collector. It's also probably a bit more useable (as a day-to-day gigbag) if that's what you want. As with the leather one, I'm not too concerned with squeezing a high price out of this. As a past very serious Hofner collector, I'd prefer to see this go to another of the same.

    Here's something you don't see every day: Impossible to date accurately, but must be 60s at the latest, more likely 50s. Yes, it really is leather. Yes, the zips still work. Just. And the padded interior is remarkably unstained. I'm not suggesting that you'd necessarily want to keep your £2000 Beatle bass from 1962 in this, but it would rather complete the set. What's it really worth? Dunno. But I'd rather see it go to a good home than concentrate on squeezing a few more quid out of it.

    Thanks.
  22. Happy Jack
    Can't see any sign that it was ever there! And thanks.
  23. Happy Jack
    Ta very muchly. Nice wood + great pickups = superb tone.

    Like so many 'cheap' basses these days, this Tokai is just way better than you'd expect for the money. This example is pretty much flawless, and in a particularly striking colour & finish. It comes with this really neat gigbag ... cool or what? That serial number probably means something to someone. Focus carefully on the beauty of the neck-through joint. If you look closely enough at it, you won't notice the single blemish on the finish of this bass. Oh no ... damn ... I once saw one of these listed on eBay as a 'Fohais'. Can't imagine why. Collection from HA1 3RG or WC1E 7BD.
  25. Happy Jack
    Thanks Nik. In answer to some PMs, there is NO hard case with this bass, just a gigbag.
