I remember seeing the Tokai basses that got him the bad feedback. I asked a couple of questions, & got a strange reply that suggested I was asking stupid questions. Clearly one to avoid.....

It's silly season.




Next thing you know, a bloke in a Red suit will start giving stuff away

Is he not just saying the trem is MIJ :wink:

 

[Diodibuh]

I sent him msg, he made a mistake in a listing, now he changed to MIK.

He is not very consistent:

"Tokai Black ?Love Rock? Les Paul with Tremolo made in Korea!

Beautiful Tokai Japanese built Les Paul with built in Tremolo System, just oozes quality in sound, look and feel."

A Les Paul with a trem?

Excuse me, I think I'm going to throw up....

 

[Anonymous]

Well, to be fair, that IS what Les played!

Neil Young's not barfing:

 

[SteveDoG]

I wish Tokai would do a Neil Young MIJ Love Rock..P90 on the neck and a mini humbucker on the bridge with Bigsby Trem unit...

Dave Kelly of The Blues Band has a strange old Gibson SG with a neck P90 & a bridge HB, no trem though. I've never been able to work out exactly what it is. If I recall correctly, it has a light coloured neck too.
