    Tokai Jazz Sound with P/J pickup - can`t figure out the poti controls (or date it). Can anyone help?

    I have managed to fix the problem!!!! :D :D :D Thanks for all your help! You have been great. I checked the wiring diagram and one wire was wrongly soldered on the outer, instead of middle, of the tone pots three connectors. I changed it to how it is supposed to be according to the very...

    Ok thanks, still haven't got around to resoldering the looser cable or clean pots yet, but hopefully have some time the day after tomorrow. Any more info on the model/date of my bass would be very welcome. I am in Japan and bought it here, btw. So the headstock didn't really get changed in shape...

    Have managed to get into the Tokai Registry now but still struggling to identify this bass. Looks like a TJB 55G, but its hard to tell. I keep seeing very similar ones on google but they all have gold hardware. Also those metal knobs on my pots rather than the plastic one. Can anyone tell me...

    oh yeah, tried this for a couple of minutes and the tone pot basically does the same thing in all three variations. Pickups seem loud and clear until I turn the tone pot, why just progressively mutes everything in all three volume settings.. Is this giving you any indication of what it might be?

    Thanks a lot for your help. Would really appreciate you looking up the serial number for me too! I am working intensely for the next few days so really can`t do much bass tinkering but will look into it and post updates as soon as I have some free time. Really hope its not a faulty pot or even...

    Thanks for the reply, especially the diagram. I will compare the wiring more closely when I get some time in the next few days, because it really doesn`t seem to be a Vol, Vol, Tone setup right now. I think the first two are Volume for P and J Pickups respectively, though there is something a...

    Hi Tokai Forum members, i recently joined the club and managed to pick up a Red Tokai Jazz Sound. I only had a few minutes in this one second hand shop I was passing through on my travels, but the price was very fair and it plays so nice, I just went for it. The shop didn`t really know anything...
