    Help ID my Tokai Jazz Sound please!

    Hi, I peeked under the control plate, and to my surprise I've found cloth-covered wiring. Is it possible that these are the original pickups? As far as I know, JB45s originally came with cheaper PUs with tiny, PVC covered wiring. They seem old and the screws are kinda rusty.

    Info on left-handed, upper-end JB models

    Hi, I'm dreaming about a higher-tier Jazz Sound, like JB80 and above, but unsure if they were ever made in left-handed variants. So far the only lefties I saw were JB45s. Would be cool to know if there are lefty JB80s and 120s out there or not. :( :) Thanks and Best regards, Mikke

    Thanks. What about that Schaller-kinda bridge? Is it possible that these were produced with these bridges at some point? Or a previous owner swapped it for some reason?

    Hi! L27100 Don't want to take off the neck, I'm not really comfy with taking stuff apart (except the PG as a homage to Jaco). Perhaps when I take it to a luthier for setup and inspection... But on the back of the neck there's really nothing to see, apart from some nice wood grain.

    Help ID my Tokai Jazz Sound please!

    Hi, I received my first Tokai today. It's a Jazz Sound "from mid-1980" I've been told. It has no stamp on the neck or headstock, but there is an L + 5 digit serial on the neck plate. The bridge seems like a Schaller 3D. I've been told some Japanese basses from the 80s had these from the get go...
