Hi all,I am new to this site and very inspired by how helpful everyone is. Ive been wanting to own a Tokai Jazz sound for many years and have recently purchased one from ebay recently. I am a little worried about the bass for a couple of reasons. The bass is listed as a 1984 Rare model Jazz it has a red body and headstock, I have found the model listed in the 1984 catalogue on this site. My first concern that the back plate is stamped with L with 5 numbers but the plate seemed to be upside down, the seller told me it had been refretted just before he had bought it which could account for it being upside down. Secondly the body has just started to develop wear since my purchase and the metallic translucent red has worn a little showing a silver metallic colour underneath, is this usual? or is it indicating that this is a refinished bass? also the logo on the headstock is slightly mottled and the lettering not 100 percent perfect on the wording Jazz sound, i am a bit worried that i have been sold a made up bass. How can I tell? other than that it plays fantastically and sounds amazing. Please help me to ease mind if possible. :-?
