Oh near Manchester. A tokai pb60 sunburst/maple neck/black pickguard was on sale last week here at bassbro’s. I took to long to and it went.

I hate it when you get distracted lol. yeah went for 61k yen. I see that you are in the uk like myself. With fees and uk customs charges it would have come to roughly £657. I bought some Bartolini pickups from someone in New Zealand this month. I got hit with customs even though i checked and...

Cheers for posting this. Jauce works so I was able to find the pb80gs you posted. I found this also. The seller seems to not know anything on the technical side so asking questions regarding truss rod health, electrical issues, neck health, fret health would not be eventful. I see the brass...

This thread has been been extremely helpful for me. I have never used a service like Jauce before so understanding charges on a possible purchase is great to estimate total cost. I know bassjapandirect do a “hunter service” for a fee. He sources the item you are after, check, setup and do...

Nice one. I have a 78 Yamaha pulser 400 atm. So the local upgrade is the tokai pb60, pulser 600 or fender pb70 which came out in the early 90’s (ash body with maple fretboard) once I finish some editing I’ll sort out the YJ as I think that is the best place to find these basses. Hope...

Hey, this is from Dan at bassjapandirect. I saw his video. He changed the true nut and he said he isn’t confident that after travel it will stay in place. He did say they are rare but I’ll rather wait for be in a better condition tbh. Had a busy day so haven’t been able to get on the...

Cheers. When I wake I’ll see how I can get to view YJ. I spoke to someone and vpn may be an option. Not heard of Jance before. This is rather new to me. Years back I would just buy Japanese football boots straight from rakuten. Long gone are those days lol.

Weirdly I got a email with your response on a pb80gs but it’s disappeared and not in this thread. Could see the message in email but not here

Yeah I did. Looked through all the catalogs until I didn’t see the pb60 line anymore. It really is impressive.

I look forward to hearing your findings. It’s interesting comparing how people now generally perceive a hand build instrument to be more refined and have a snugger neck joint compared to a cnc built instrument. I’ve heard nothing but ultimate praise regarding the pb80. 80000 yen for a one...

Hey peeps, I have looked through several threads and also catalogues to learn the differences in models. I must say Tokai was extremely detailed in the first few years explaining the specs and differences of each model. So I would be looking to grab a Tokai Hard Puncher pb65N (natural finish)...

Thanks. I’ve just been going through some threads. You are very active here. If I have any questions which I can’t find via the search option I will create a thread. Seems like the model I’m interested in is the pb65n or 60. Looking for the Sen body maple neck fretboard. Chat soon

Hey peeps. I’m based in the uk and I play bass. I’ve a soft spot for Japanese instruments. I have zero knowledge of tokai’s history or where to source them so I felt it a good idea to join this forum which has the tools for my many questions lol. Look forward to interacting with everyone.
