ash Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 (edited) Tokai Hard Puncher Precision Bass PB 40 MIJ 1980 Classic Tokai P bass with the naughty early logo. This was their no frills version of the Precision Bass and at the time definitely gave Fender something to think about. The build quality and playability is excellent, tight neck pocket,relatively lightweight at 3.9kgs. Some say the hardware isn’t great however it’s stood the test of time and many gigs, although there is tarnishing to the chrome and surface corrosion on the pots everything works smoothly and is crackle free. The capacitor has been rewired by the looks of it however there are no issues. The pickups sound nice and…er…punchy and compare favourably to both my late 70’s Fender Precision and my early noughties one. No real dings but plenty of cosmetic blemishes and marks. It has been set up with new Rotosound nickel roundwounds and plays really well. Pickup preferred as there is no case or bag but I can post in the U.K. at buyer’s cost. No trades. Sorry.
