Hi
Can anyone tell me anything about my Jazz Sound bass please? I believe that it is a copy of a 1963 Jazz, but don't know when it was made by Tokai. I don't know if the gold colour is original either - it seems to be, but is a bit unusual.
Would the machine heads have been chrome originally? They are really worn looking, but work fine, but I would like to replace them - does anyone know if they can be replaced easily? I also fancy the idea of a chrome pickguard - anyone know any companies who make them?
Maybe that is sacrilege to some, but I think it would look great ...

Also, any idea how much it might be worth? I'm embarrassed to say I only paid ?50 for it - but I imagine it's worth a bit more than that!
Thanks
Des
