eubassix Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 weren't the T J S basses of this period fitted with the 'proper' Fender Jazz headstock shape ??? :- https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vintage-1986-Tokai-Jazz-Sound-Bass-Guitar-Made-in-Japan-/232547161203?

Bassassin Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 Consistent with this 85/86 catalogue from Tokai Registry site - different model but same era: A lot of Japanese manufacturers who were still making copies in the "post lawsuit" era changed the headstocks on export models, but kept the Fender (& Gibson) shapes for the Japanese market. Quite a lot of these seemed to end up unofficially exported, which is probably why you see both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
