nomis Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 hey, i have an old tokai bass that has just sat and collected dust, it plays great and looks the part, sadly i need monies but i cant seem to find anything on the serial number, didn't have any joy on the tokai guitar registry either, so, can anyone help me identify what model it is or even point me in the direction of somewhere with a serial number? pictures on here...

lemmywinks Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 Looks very 80s, is it a ltd edition Hardpuncher VSB by any chance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zbigniew Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Great looking bass ! I have the same bass but not the PJ version. That is my red one on the page Lemmywinks linked to. I like mine a lot but I also know of its "flaws". For one the tuning keys are not very good, frets on the upper part have sharp ends sticking out and lack of contour on the body makes my upper right arm hurt a little after playing for a while. The good stuff is that it is light compared to my other bass (a Blade jazz bass), the neck has a fat profile which I have come to like (I didn't at first) and the bass sounds good. So yes as you may have seen on Tokaiforum yours is a Ltd. ed. VSB 80 HardPuncher, I bought mine four years ago if I remember correctly from Japan through e-bay, price was $300. Did you sell yours yet? z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaypup Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Monkey Chapmanstick bought one recently for £250 IIRC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
