On some I can see something going on, a bit of fizzing and a residue...
I obtained a guitar on behalf of a freind from Yahoo who after his own research seemed happy to pay way more than I would have.

Hi, I thought I saw a post recently where a guy jhas a tokai bass which he needed help to ID. I think stratman323 scan a piccy of it into the thread. I can't find the post now, if anyone can locate it please give me a link. I think it turned out to be a mid 80's custom or limited edition "80"...

Thanks.
