This is a Tokai Love Rock Bass made in Korea in a really sharp cherry sunburst finish.
Cool piece—Les Paul-style bass with dual humbuckers, bound body, and a nice figured top under the burst. Not something you see every day compared to the usual Fender-style stuff, and it definitely stands out.
This one has had some work done, all professionally handled by our in-house luthier (Charles Dick):
The fretboard had begun to separate slightly from the neck at one point
It has since been properly reglued and is solid
Saddles were also replaced due to wear
Everything is now structurally sound and playing great. Neck feels good, action is comfortable, and it sounds exactly like you’d want—warm, punchy, and a little thicker than a typical J-style bass.
Cosmetically, it’s in great overall shape. There are some signs of wear here and there, but nothing major. The repair area is visible if you’re looking closely (see photos), but it’s stable and not an ongoing issue.
Overall, this is a great-playing, unique bass at a price point that reflects the prior repair.
