(…) About that Tokai Bass, i apologize but i do not know much. But very interesting indeed !
All i can say is i saw a couple of these appearing new at the shop around year 2000, and seen some others on the second hand market since, but bass is surely quite rare and never seen one in white only in red or black.
Not sure where these were manufactured, could be Japan, but could be Korea also as Tokai was manufacturing much of their brand production there at the time because they were using their Japan factory mostly for the Fender production.
As for « Limited Edition », you are right, most of the time Tokai use to make them around production leftovers, so mostly mix-match wooden parts, or wood that were not commonly used by Tokai, like basswood.
Pickup, no idea where it came from as far as i know no other Tokai bass uses it.
Sales colleague Kentaro says these were the APB45G limited Edition from about 99 to 2001 made in Korea, could be Japan but he doubts it, like he says it is a very rare bass not many were made, but not worth a lot here in Japan though maybe 40 000 ¥ if in mint condition. (…)

il aime connaitre les histoires de ses basses

On dirait que notre AZ-tech ( ) a mis la main sur une authentique rareté. Si en plus elle sonne, il apparaît que le futal rose abrite un cul bordé de nouilles...

Je sais pas trop avec quoi la comparer... y'a du T.Bird, peut être du PJ 60's un peu comme la St. Blues. Elle sonne plutôt vintage quoi...
