and another one of my MIJ vintage basses has to go.... (to make space for another Tokai)
Tokai Jazz bass in great condition, rare Custom Edition, ca. 1986
J-45, great quality Japanese copy of a 60s Fender jazz bass.
Candy Apple Red, Alder body, maple neck, rosewood fretboard (could also be pau ferro, hard to tell)
Only a few markings and dinks to the body and neck (see photos)
all original
Vintage threaded bridge saddles and thin vintage-style frets
Neck is straight, truss rod works, frets at almost 100%
Electronics work fine
Pickups were slightly microphonic when I got this. I had them re-waxed by a professional guitar tech and they sound good now, with no unwanted noise.
Weight is 4kg (on digital scales)
Plays and sounds great
Comes with original Tokai leather gigbag.
PS: the Custom Edition Tokais come without pickguard, so this is standard
no trades
Price includes international shipping, insured
