Congrats on the new bass! That is such a nice color. The matching headstock really brings it all together.

As far as I know, Tokai currently has a made in china line and a more expensive made in japan line over the last few years. They seem to only have the current models up on the website, they seem to change it once in a while.

Yes, but the other MIC models I've seen (and I owned one too) have a different shaped headstock. These have the Fender shaped one like back in the MIJ "lawsuit" era.

Beautiful bass! I wouldn’t change the look, maybe upgrade electronics if needed but very sweet looking Jazz right there. Enjoy!

I like it just the way it is. Very pretty. I'll be surprised if an off-the-shelf guard will fit. You'd probably need a custom one. I wouldn't bother personally.

Well my self imposed GAS suppression finally gave way, I bought a Chinese made Tokai Jazz Bass. They call it Baby Blue or something, but it looks Daphne Blue to me, or close to it. Matching headstock too

Now, do I sell the VM P to restore balance to my universe? I'm really digging Jazz style basses all of a sudden.

Yes, there is a missing screw on this "mint" bass. Might go for a cream 'guard, despite my tort tendencies...

39mm nut, chunky profile neck for a JB. Weighs in at 9lbs 9oz.

Nice but how does it sound?
