I need to sell one methinks.[/quote] yeh, I know what you mean, i'd love to keep it, but 5 basses is too many, it is a superb bass and if it doesn't sell I will have to advertise one of the others, cheers.

    BUMP................ there has been some confusion as to wheather this is a top quallity japanese Tokai or a cheap taiwanese one, this is the real deal, I did photgraph the 'made in japan' words printed under the varnish at the back of the neck but due to the (very) bright sunlight the words were not readable in the picture. I will take and post another picture of this if any potential buyer wants to see it. May part ex for reasonable 6 string accoustic guitar + cash.............BUMP

    I realise that it has Tokai and not F3nder on the headstock, this is a real Japanese high quality bass, a VERY good precision type instrument, both in looks, build and sound...Bump

    Hello, I have for sale my Made in Japan Tokai Hardpuncher, it’s in beautiful as new condition and has only been used at home, never gigged. It is in a beautiful golden colour, a little bit lighter than the photo’s show with an aged vintage colour maple neck & fret board and a colour matched headstock. It has a vintage style anodised metal scratch plate. It is quite a light bass. Will come with new strings on. I've had it about a year. It has only been out of the house once and that was when my mate tried it on one song (for me!) on his bands sound check. It sounded absolutely superb no different from his USA Fender precision and looked absolutely amazing under stage lights. I’m not desperate to sell as this is a fantastic looking and sounding bass, but my collection is now up to 5 and I’m only allowed 4 (lack of space) so one has to go. Will be sad to see it go but they are all good basses. Please note this is a Japanese one not to be confused with Chinese Tokai’s and they retail for about £600, I will take £390 for this including free insured shipping within the UK. My packing has been described as bomb proof so bass will be lovingly packed for its journey to the buyer. Thanks for looking.

    hi have you seen this; [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=90423&st=0&p=858481&#entry858481"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=...mp;#entry858481[/url] could also sell you a chunky chrome wilkinson bridge with brass saddles or a Gotoh 201 in chrome to go with it if you want (I have a spare of both bridges) both are straight screw on replacements.

    I have one of these, mine has Bart. Mk.11's, I think they are awesome value for the money and this one looks a bargain for someone, good luck.

    would consider splitting, fully loaded sunbust vintage modified jazz body and rosewood CV jazz fretted neck and selling seperately, pm if interested in either.

    [quote name='DreadAlert' post='861623' date='Jun 8 2010, 11:04 PM']Cool. I'm pretty sure I'm going to go for an Ibanez SR300 as it was voted best value bass and stuff is Bassguitar Magazine. Love the looks, love the sound. NOW DONT LET ME CHANGE MY MIND! [/quote] Real good choice man, i've had a SR500 (similar bass just a tad dearer) for the last 4 years and of all the basses that have come in and gone, the Ibanez is still here. It just feels so right playing it, like a comfortable pair of shoes and always sounds bl**dy awesome too, just my 2p worth.

    somebody told me because this shop was big on yamaha keyboards, piano's and organs, thay they could have been early yamaha copy's, possible?

    As the tittle says, back in the early eightie's there was a north of England basesd music shop chain called E.D. Brown Organs. Anyway they sold no name Fender copies of strats, teles and precisions which I think were made in Japan (Japanese gear wasn't as well regarded back then as it is now) All the guitars and basses were only available in two colours, either suburst with white scratchplates on the guitars and tort scratchplates on the bass or an off white colour with white plates on all three, all had maple necks. I had a white precision one and supurb it was too, had 2 years then traded it in, later in the late eightie's I bought another white one but that one wasn't quite as good as my first, didn't know much about set ups then so second one probably just needed a set up. sold the second one. wish i'd kept one now just for sentiment. Anyway, anybody on here had/have one or know anything about them, or know someone who had one or maybe still got one? My mate still has a white strat version. Just curious, thanks...Nick.

    FEELER.....I am about to buy a Squier CV jazz and a Vintage modified Fretless and get the necks swapped, reason is I need a white fretless. So if anybody want's to buy a sunburst Squier VMJ with a brand new unplayed fretted CV jazz neck fitted this is for you. Obviously I havn't got a picture, but the guy in the shop who is doing it for me is a semi pro player and excellent at bass set ups. Just to be clear the VMJ is second hand, it is one of those that get bought but never used, it is absolutely mint. It has the nicest body i've seen yet, no knots, beautifull, because i've seen some not so good body's on these in the past but this one is a real looker. There are no marks or dings on the VMJ. The CV neck plays superbly and is brand new as I said, with have new strings on. Price would be a resonable £190 inc insured shipping to UK addresses. pm me if interested, thanks for looking.

    I'm very suprised no takers on this one. I've played one and thought it was amazing for the money, good luck with the sale.

    [quote name='Delberthot' post='844296' date='May 21 2010, 04:00 PM']I'm very happy with my/your/Moos3h's Squier VM Jazz. It sounds almost exactly how I want a fretless to play and sound. I like it so much in fact that I'm going the whole hog on a proper setup with Tusq nut and Badass II to get the action perfect. I have thought about changing pickups and electronics but seriously, on a bass that cost me less than some of the pickup/electronics upgrades out there, is it really worth it?[/quote] I liked it, so i'm glad you like it even though it came to you via another BC'er. The only things that made me want to change it were I really don't like sunburst jazzes and I fancied a Mexican 'real' Fender. Now though, I don't know if i'd be wasting my money with the Mexican over the VMJ ie. would it be any better? Ideally I would like a CV jazz with a VMJ neck fitted, my local shop would do this but then I would have to sell a sunburst VMJ with a CV jazz fretted neck, quite an outlay and would I recoup my (VMJ) money? a fair bit of uncertainty for a simple change of body colour.
