1983 Tokai TJB75J Jazz Sound Bass

Fabulous fretless playing just like it should & sounding even better.

A little bit of history to how I found it is detailed in the link to the thread below, but essentially a special order 75 model based upon a Japanese lined & grooved black fretless 70 model. All original apart from the aged control plate & scratchplate along with NOS knobs.

Most importantly it plays & sounds superb, but fretless is not for me any more so time to let go.

A little stumped regarding pricing, as gut feeling is saying around £1000 if all original for an early Japanese 70s model in excellent condition, so £700 as it stands with the plate & control mods seems realistic. I’m in Bedford but don’t currently have a suitable case for shipping although I’m sure we could always arrange something if required, but would hugely prefer you to visit to have a noodle to see if it’s for you before parting with any lolly.

My journey ID'ing it with Sigmania on the Tokai forum here:

Not hugely interested in trades, unless it’s a fretted Fender or potentially a Jack Casady with a bit of a sweetener!

Cheers
Tim
