Duarte Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 As the title suggests... I've moved country and needed a bass to keep me company while the others are back waiting for me overseas. The Tokai came up for a good deal on gumtree, I went to check it out and couldn't leave without it. This thing is mad. It's hot, bling, garish and built like an anvil. Sounds ballsy and plays superbly too. It's like if Arnold Schwarzenegger were a drag queen, but it's a bass. Anyway, here's pics. 22 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dood Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 Superb! I've recently picked up a Hard Puncher (P) from 80-81 and it's bonkers good! Congrats! Interestingly, I *think (and I could be wrong) that my Fender PJ basses were made by Tokai Gakki - and they are INSANELY well made. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sardonicus Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 Not normally a fan of red basses but, even I have to admit that the red with gold hardware looks mighty fine. May I also congratulate you on the line "if Arnold Schwarzenegger were a drag queen", I now have this mental image which is both scary and strangely alluring. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel the same about red basses, usually. But my first reaction when the seller pulled it out of its case was "woah, that's really red" and I was converted. Back of the neck is red too. And hey, if drag Arnie is the image this bass conjured in my mind - must be a good'n! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
