This is a made in Japan top quality bass, at the same price as a low end Fender Player! This is a high end newer Japanese Tokai, rare to find in the UK, I got this one from Spain a few years back. It weighs around 8.2lbs, making it the lightest jazz I have, and is actually my favourite to play, but I rarely do play, hence putting a few things up for sale. It has Japanese hardware (Gotoh), and sounds awesome, the setup is great too, very low. Condition is pretty much like new, I am reluctant to say that, but I cannot find any marks - it’s never left the house. Collection from Ripon is preferred (junction 50 A1) but could post if really needed (need to find someone that insures). If this doesn’t sell, then it makes the decision for me about keeping it!

Ah yeah just seen you’re in the IoW, that is pretty far!

Just weighed it for those wanting to know, 9.4 lbs with both covers on.

Anyone know how to edit the main price?

They’re made in Korea I think but have a final check done in the US by Elrick? Bassdirect sell them, so they must be pretty good.

You shouldn’t be bumping the post. Although these are cool, was tempted by one recently.

I think it must be almost impossible to avoid, this has rarely been used but still has it, most of its life it was in the case with those little packs to soak up humidity. And it’s not been exposed to massively changing temperatures. Great bass, up there with a custom shop, but I have 4 jazzes in total right now and another being built, due at the end of the year. And I don’t even play out the house anymore!

This is really nice, great colour.

Weight = 9.4lbs (with covers on) This is one of 46 made with the limited edition Neck Plate on (see photos), so a rare beast! I've owned it from new, I got it from Bax originally years ago. It's spent most of its life in the case (which is in good shape itself), and even comes with the original outer box (which it was also in for many years). I gigged it once, and used it in the studio once as the bass I was meant to be using decided to die on the day this arrived. It's in great shape, but due to the finish used on these basses there is some natural checking that has appeared (and is impossible to photo I've found, but have a look at the photos anyway), people usually pay extra for checking. It's basically on the front and back of the body and around the neck pocket. Neck is like new though from what I can tell. Where the rear pickup cover sits, the screws have caused a bit of chipping, and a bit of finish rash - both of those are impossible to see with the cover on, I didn't notice when I got it new til I took those off. It comes with tonnes of case candy, including an unused strap, unused strings, instructions etc etc. Pickup preferred near junction 50 A1 (near Harrogate kind of). Can post at buyers cost if fully insured. Willing to consider near offers, send me a PM. Although I look newish around here, I’ve been on the forum for years, feedback thread here…

Does the price include shipping?

I had one of these! Cirrus was around at the same time, but just expensive! I’m sure mine was neck thru though.

I think you added an extra 0 to the price! Haha
