Maxon cinema 4d keygen download full version free 115. Results 1 - 48 of 84 - 1982 Tokai JB-60 Japan Jazz Sound Bass Electric Guitar (Sunburst). Tokai ajb-90 bass guitar jazz base type, Serial number: 161307.

It is about 7 or 8 years old and is made in Japan. The only downside is the Tokai 'post lawsuit' headstock,which spoils it a bit for me. I played it a few times in the house through my practise amp and although it looked great,felt really well made,with a very nice slim jazz bass neck,it wasn't a patch on my long gone 80's Tokai Jazz Sound. Since I bought it pretty cheap,I decided that it maybe should go back on the bay and turn a wee profit for me.My wife liked the idea as I have a few guitars and as she pointed out.we need a new carpet for the stairs! I got it out and polished it up,getting it ready for pictures and it's sale on e bay.But.I decided to play it again,plugged it in to a bigger amp and could,nt put it down.it sounded great!

My wife sussed out that I had changed my mind and just gave me the look! So I said, I will give it another go at a band gig and see how it goes.then decide! I used it last night at Finnigins Wake in Edinburgh,with the rock covers band I am in and do you know what?it was f**king great!.I think the carpet may have to wait a bit longer!Anyone else ever decided to sell a guitar then decide that it's a cracker after all?.The headstock is still pretty ugly.but if I look at it from certain angles I can tell myself it is a standard Fender shape.might change it if I can find a decent replacement,after all I believe the guitar was built in the same factory as the japanese Fenders before Tokai moved production to save costs. As far as I know,the guitars are being produced in Japan again. Edited May 8, 2011 by theplumber.

I almost sold my MIJ 80s Jazz Special after purchasing a new Duff McKagan Model (reissue Jazz Special) I had it in my head that because the original has a sawdust/mdf/mish-mash body that it wouldn't sound good or whatever. However it sounds great and is still my main bass, and sounds better than my Duff Bass with the Alder body. I guess hearing everyone say those sort of materials they use for the cheap guitars put me off. Just shows you've really gotta try these things.

[attachment=79320:DSCF6665.JPG]Here is a couple of pics of said bass.doing a bit of research,it seems that Fender Japan or indeed the company that makes bodies for Fender Japan were making Tokai guitars as well at that point.Production moved to Korea.

So my reckoning is find a nice Fender type jazz neck and that will be another keeper for me.No serial number on these guitars until they moved to Korea,but I checked the pots and they are all marked Made in Japan.very nice finish and sound.dare I say,as good as my Sandberg Californian was!.When the guitar arrived,it was in a cheap canvas bag,which was in really cheap bin liners.you know,the ones that fall to bits as you place the rubbish in them.also wrapped in newspaper,polly bags.and an old cardigan!!! £135 for an MIJ Tokai (even a recent one) is a steal. As far as the 'Fender factory' idea's concerned - sort of. Tokai Gakki have their own manufacturing facility in Japan and along with Dyna Gakki, they manufacture CIJ (not MIJ) Fenders. According to what I've read, Tokai-built Fenders are home-market only so you won't find many over here if that's true. Like most big-ish brands, Tokai outsource production of their budget ranges to Korean, and probably Chinese & Indonesian factories, but the premium stuff has always been built in Japan. I'd say your bass is worth a good few bob more than you paid, so if you do change it, don't do anything you can't change back one day!
