  1. [quote name='OliverBlackman' timestamp='1345409098' post='1777250'] is it just me thats played the tokai jazz sound? Forget american standards, Custom Shops don't compete with the tones that come from the Tokai. The philippe dubreuille jazz bass is the only bass I've played where I've thought, "yeh thats worth £1000 more" than the Tokai. [/quote]I've had a Tokai Jazz Sound fretless (Jaco copy) since new in 1985. I put EMG's on it - as we all did then - and it's a great instrument. Getting a bit tatty now, mind...
  2. [quote name='owen' timestamp='1317245511' post='1388724'] Anyone tried/own one of these? There are a lot of things that make me more comfortable on an upright instrumental position. The idea of frets as an option is attractive.

It sounds and records really well. He's worth having a chat with! www.cliftonbasses.co.uk
  3. Loved JJB's sound - usually Hiwatt amps, I believe. At the time it inspired me to get a similar noise from my P Bass and a Fender Bassman 10 with master volume - although rather quieter, sadly... In the late 70's/early 80's I was lucky enough to record quite a lot at funky old TW Studios in Fulham, London where the Stranglers recorded their first 2 or 3 albums. Shame, for me at least, that they ended up doing "Golden Brown" and the like. Hard to convey now the impact that Jaco, JJB, Stanley Clarke and a few others made back then.
