Hi @soulstar89

 

These Tokais have quite chunky necks. This is a quote from a Tokai forum that i found:

 

"They are solid, accurate, and well built P bass copies with old school thick necks and 7.25 radius." 

 

A Google search just now said this:

 

The Tokai PB80 bass neck profile is described as a "vintage U profile" or a "deeper profile," which is characteristic of a 1950s-style Precision Bass. It is a maple neck that is on the larger side, though many players find it comfortable to play. The neck is also noted as being "slight cambered". 

 

Nut width is. 43mm according to the same Google search. 

 

Does that help? 

 

I've not taken the neck off to look at what's stamped on there bit could do if absolutely necessary... 

 

And yes, the bridge has definitely been modded.

 Cheers for the info nik. 
 

My Yamaha pulser is 39mm nut but deep. I would have to try it to see how it feels in the hand. 
 

On the stamping it’s just below the last fret on the fretboard. 
 

 

I’ve a busy couple days but I’ll PM you.

Yep, it's one of the older Schaller 3D4 bridges.

These are great basses and will be a lot of bass for the money. I don't need another bass, never mind a P style, but still very tempted! GLWTS.

That stamp is definitely not there on my bass.... See pictures on previous page.

Thanks for clarifying that. It's a really good bridge... 👍
