[quote name='fede162162' post='771030' date='Mar 10 2010, 10:36 PM']sorry, I didn't mean to say anything vicious. On the contrary, I really like the bass,and I highly value them since they sound awesome. From that, I've thought: "what a pity there is a Fender decal, since having a lawsuit Tokai and showing it at gigs would be something to be proud of". It is just my tought, somebody else probably will love the very Fender decal.[/quote] Apology bit accepted,yes it probably would bother some (but i thought i'd already covered that with "Has had some mods so maybe not one for the purists"in the original post) Still Not sure of the purpose of your comments though(do you think ppl can't decide for themselves if they're interested or botherd by it?)and i really didn't want to turn this thread into a discussion/critique opportunity of the logo . If anyone wants come try it they're welcome

[quote name='fede162162' post='770977' date='Mar 10 2010, 09:44 PM']what a pity for that Fender decal!! =([/quote] Why do you feel the need to state your opinion on it ? I can't remember asking for them. It is what it is ,if you were thinking of trading something and the decal has changed your mind ,just look for something else (instead of adding unhelpful comments to my thread)

traded

Played this bass ,it's very nice,lovely slim neck EDIT; Actually i've played two Les Evans basses and they were both quality builds

Walplayer : thank you. how long ago did you sell the AFR ? [/quote] Think about a year ago. The saman wood on mine was boring compared to yours though!! I also had a 304 that was excellent too.

[quote name='Shockwave' post='751146' date='Feb 19 2010, 05:23 PM']He asked (publicly) for an opinion on his price I found it unreasonable (to me) and like others gave him a different figure. However, if someone posts a bass for sale with a solid price (Not asking for an opinion) and someone criticises the price in public then that could be a warnable offense.[/quote] Sold my 5 string afr 105 for £780 .They're a quality handmade instrument and light as a feather on a strap. The bit's on the control cavity are individual piezo gain controls. Good luck with the sale!

Hey MikeyD can't believe you're selling this!!!!!!! Bit more info if it helps ; Top is a non original spruce replacement ,this and the neck fix were done by a builder/repairer named Thomas Alexander from Newcastle and were done around 1959/60.He told the person that bought it from him it was a turn of the century student instrument. Can't remember what he said the fingerboard was ,was either painted beech or maple. Good luck with the sale is a nice instrument.

phew! Think i've answered all pm's now on this ,sorry for delay. ON HOLD PENDING

[quote name='evoman' post='727132' date='Jan 27 2010, 11:52 PM']Is the fretboard coated? it looks shiny for ebony or ebanol. Are there any grooves in the fretboard surface?[/quote] Not much string marks if thats what you mean ...and the string marks that are there polish out.Yeah i think is ebonol as mentioned earlier up the thread. Come try it out if you're interested.

There's 2 companies making them. The site that you've linked to is the cheaper Korean version. Here's the Japanese site. [url="http://www.cc.rim.or.jp/~tune/"]http://www.cc.rim.or.jp/~tune/[/url] If you search around they've got a gallery of the custom orders that they've made. This one's an 86 that I'm selling [quote name='BBass' post='724770' date='Jan 26 2010, 12:51 AM']Surprised they still make them as I haven't seen one for years. Just checked their website though (www.tuneguitars.com) and they make quite a few different models. Prices seem pretty reasonable too... Bryan[/quote]

[quote name='doctor_of_the_bass' post='719209' date='Jan 20 2010, 04:24 PM']These basses are superb! The fingerboard is ebonol, I think! We had two in stock when I were a lad working at Music Village - lovely! Highly recommended! Nick[/quote] Cheers Nick Think i remember them selling them,think they did a 3 octave version too!! Pete
