(From the 1983 (& 1984) catalog):
Super detachable neck system
Tokai's world-class detachable neck revolution. Unlike the conventional plate system, 10% deep brass nuts are passed through and 4 screws are made independent for a perfect joint, which boasts outstanding strength and long sustain.
In addition, we have changed the shape of the body and the heel part of the neck, which was impossible with the conventional plate method, and succeeded in heelless cutaway even though it is a detachable neck system.
The bold cut of the heel part and the shape of the neck joint that allows it to flow have achieved outstanding playability in high positions.
New Pace P.U. P6-11B (MBX & LBX)
Newly developed split type pickup P6-11B.
6 powerful alnico magnet ball pieces and an original number of turns of the unit produce a dynamic bass sound.
New Pace P.U. : P7-14B (MBX & LBX)
Original double-coil type bass pickup that shuts out noise.
The humbucking P.U.'s distinctive straight punchy deep bass and versatile sound are unique to the original. This is Tokai's ambitious work that challenges the limit of bass pickup.
In addition, because of its 4-core configuration, it is a versatile pickup that can create a more attack and bright sound character if used in a dual sound system, coil tap system, etc.
Newly developed heavy duty bridge and tailpiece for all MBX LBX series models.
Perfectly shuts out bridge top (saddle) pres due to vibrato and bending.
Another feature is that the screws that hold the bridge are not visible from the surface, and the body is sandwiched with strong bolts from the back of the body, and the double structure with the sustain block produces amazing long sustain.
