Feb 22, 2008 - and the 2-string bass.

27th October 2009. The first two PlayStation 2 releases were enormously popular, selling millions around the world, but by the time they came out PS2 had already vanquished Xbox, and indeed everyone else. Sony has a lot riding on the fourth instalment in the God of War series. Helios is a fiery, antagonistic little pretty-boy, but once you've watched his skin stretched taught into tendrils and torn, like so much plasticine flesh in a George Romero movie, you can't help feel sorry for him.

I bought a Tokai Jazz Sound from e bay a few months ago.never ment to,I was just killing time before my dinner! Stuck an idle bid in and after dinner found I had won it for £135! It is about 7 or 8 years old and is made in Japan. The only downside is the Tokai 'post lawsuit' headstock,which spoils it a bit for me. I played it a few times in the house through my practise amp and although it looked great,felt really well made,with a very nice slim jazz bass neck,it wasn't a patch on my long gone 80's Tokai Jazz Sound.

Since I bought it pretty cheap,I decided that it maybe should go back on the bay and turn a wee profit for me.My wife liked the idea as I have a few guitars and as she pointed out.we need a new carpet for the stairs! I got it out and polished it up,getting it ready for pictures and it's sale on e bay.But.I decided to play it again,plugged it in to a bigger amp and could,nt put it down.it sounded great! My wife sussed out that I had changed my mind and just gave me the look! So I said, I will give it another go at a band gig and see how it goes.then decide! I used it last night at Finnigins Wake in Edinburgh,with the rock covers band I am in and do you know what?it was f**king great!.I think the carpet may have to wait a bit longer!Anyone else ever decided to sell a guitar then decide that it's a cracker after all?.The headstock is still pretty ugly.but if I look at it from certain angles I can tell myself it is a standard Fender shape.might change it if I can find a decent replacement,after all I believe the guitar was built in the same factory as the japanese Fenders before Tokai moved production to save costs.

As far as I know,the guitars are being produced in Japan again. Edited May 8, 2011 by theplumber. I almost sold my MIJ 80s Jazz Special after purchasing a new Duff McKagan Model (reissue Jazz Special) I had it in my head that because the original has a sawdust/mdf/mish-mash body that it wouldn't sound good or whatever. However it sounds great and is still my main bass, and sounds better than my Duff Bass with the Alder body.

I guess hearing everyone say those sort of materials they use for the cheap guitars put me off. Just shows you've really gotta try these things.
