I’ll take some better photos of it now its home , really happy how he’s set it up

Thank you , it’s my trusted go to bass , sounds awesome

I have the bass back as of today and it’s playing awesome after it’s clean and set up with new rotosound strings too , I think I’ve established we’re the code is hiding but I’m not confident of revealing it myself 😂 in the control cavity under the knobs there is a brass/copper plate screwed into...

That’s good to know , I’m looking forward to getting it back and putting it through its paces . Thank you , this bass is my baby , I’ve such a strong attachment to it

So I get my bass back tomorrow but unfortunately he hasn’t been able to find the body code so when I get it back I’m going to have a good look myself , I am 100% sure it’s genuine as who I bought it from originally bought it new from a reputable music shop we had In our local town and I know for...

Here is my Bass I’ll post some more complete pictures of it when it’s back from the Luthier Serial number : L26343

I’ve been assured there is no code in the control cavities ( he’s just informed me he’s already looked in there ) later today I’m assuming he’s going to take the pick ups out and have a look in there to see what we can find in there , I’m at work at the moment so will take a look at the bass pic...

Fascinating stuff , could the mixed symbols on a guitar possibly relative to when the stock component was manufactured , then obviously there could be a mix at the point of assembly such as a body from 1984 and a neck from 1985 ? The good thing is the Luthier has found no issues at all with the...

What do the codes that you can see tell us ?

It’s late here so I’ll Message in the morning and ask if he will take a look . These pics show the true colour of the bass much better than my earlier pics

Well I’ve got the first update and pics from the Luthier just now so I thought I’d post the pics up

I think I need to get myself one of these , I’ve never played one or heard one in action but would definitely add a different dynamic to the TJB

Stunning guitars !!

Well I certainly intend to stick around , I have very limited knowledge to contribute as I’ve pretty much just picked up a bass and played following my thoughts on if it feels good and sounds how you want then it’s all good , it just happens to be that My Tokai has always been the best fit for...

I’ve put a thread up and re-posted the details of the Bass , thank you for the work and time you do here , it’s very very much appreciated

Just on a side note , I’ve been trying to add my Bass to the registry but ever time I try to upload the information it tells me there’s a data base error and won’t upload

Thank you for all this wonderful information ! I’m hoping to get more information from the Luthier sometime early next week so I’ll be sure to post anything I get . The bass is not in perfect condition as you can imagine after it being my primary guitar for gigging through most of my adult life...

I’ve spoken with him this morning , he said it will be a couple of days before he gets to it but he will certainly have a look for me when he starts on the bass , I’m very curious to know myself now

I’m going to drop him a message today to ask if he will take any pictures of anything he comes across while doing his thing , I’d love to get my hands on another one of the Japanese bass’s but guess they’re getting harder to find now ,

I may ask the Luthier to have a look as he’s going to do a deep clean on everything, how fascinating, I’d be curious to know myself now , it definitely looks like the green in the pics of the one in the link you’ve posted , when I get back I’ll post up some better photos too
