Description

Tokai PJ Bass TPB55G made somewhere between late 1982 to mid 1983 by one of Japan’s greatest instrument makers, Tōkai Gakki. This is a fantastic gigging bass in B+ rank condition with only very minor surface scratches and rub marks for it’s 40 years. Alder body, painted (black) maple neck with a rosewood fretboard and matching headstock.  Spec’s like this are very hard to find in modern new instruments and is why I’m personally a massive fan of made in Japan lawsuit era basses.

All original gold hardware that has been cleaned up and looks the biz with it’s natural aging over time. Pickups are also original and sound great, with a good growl and plenty of low end. Would perform well in a rock or Motown gigging band. At only 4kg, it’s comfortable to play for longer periods of time and has great balance.
