No idea what that is.

Neck with slab board and large 1966/67 block fret markers is odd with the spaghetti logo.

Serial number is odd and too low on the neck plate.

To me it looks like someone is trying to pass off a bass as a Tokai that isn’t.

For reference here is the 1981 catalog.

Pics under the pickguard and neck pocket would help.

Yeah. It's not a 1981 Tokai. That is for sure. No idea what it actually is.
