I'm going to sell my strat and buy a Tokai:D

Just wondering, how well to Ishabashibasibash pack their guitars for shipping? if i don't have to i'd rather not pay for the hard case as well!!

One question, what would be the difference in the particular Tokai Les Paul models?

Doctor J · 10-12-2005 12:48pm

Don't sell your strat.

Save up, get a credit union loan, whatever.

Don't sell the strat.

This man speaks the truth! Do *NOT* sell that strat!

LundiMardi · 10-12-2005 12:51pm

well i have my custom strat to fill that hole now sooo...

LundiMardi · 10-12-2005 12:51pm

i can't afford a new guitar if i don't sell a current one, loans are not an option:(

Doctor J · 10-12-2005 12:52pm

Sell the custom strat

feylya · 10-12-2005 12:52pm

"Custom"? Aka, one you threw together from parts? Personally, I'd wait a while, play both strats a bit more and then decide if you really want to sell your kosher strat.

Karl Hungus · 10-12-2005 12:52pm

Then don't afford it tbh. Wait untill such time that you can.

feylya · 10-12-2005 12:53pm

TBH, I'm in the same boat kinda. Selling most of my guitars to get a tokai...

No, no one will buy your body

What Tokai do you have your eye on?

feylya · 10-12-2005 1:04pm

Karl Hungus · 10-12-2005 1:05pm

Oh yes, same as myself then. But I take it you're not after a white one though?

feylya · 10-12-2005 1:06pm

Nope. Maybe black tonepros bridge and stop bar, black sperzels and maybe some EMG's... The answer is none more black.

Karl Hungus · 10-12-2005 1:08pm

Aye, tonepros bridges are the business. I'd keep the gold on white myself though, as I've got a lot of black in my collection as it is.

LundiMardi · 10-12-2005 1:09pm

so what are the differences in models?

feylya · 10-12-2005 1:10pm

Different woods, pickups, appearances... The one I want is based on the Les Paul Custom (LC) whereas most are based on the Standard (LS)

LundiMardi · 10-12-2005 1:24pm

not huge differences as far as i can see, apart from the top wood, finishes are different but you can choose but you can change that during checkout...

what to get what to get....

feylya · 10-12-2005 1:28pm

What are you thinking of?

LundiMardi · 10-12-2005 1:32pm

LS80F

LS120F - Not too sure about that finish though..

LC80

They're the ones that appeal to me, not a fan of the other matt finished guitars

feylya · 10-12-2005 1:34pm

That LC80 is quite nice. Of course, that is the one I want

LundiMardi · 10-12-2005 1:39pm

LC80 is indeed sweet!!

feylya · 10-12-2005 4:19pm

I think black.

Doctor J · 10-12-2005 4:37pm

Hmmm... I'm not getting Tokai GAS... maybe there's hope for me? :v:

feylya · 10-12-2005 4:39pm

No, no hope. The reason you're not getting GAS is a cause commonly known as old age

:v:

Doctor J · 10-12-2005 4:44pm

Old like a fox...

feylya · 10-12-2005 4:45pm

Eh...

LundiMardi · 10-12-2005 4:52pm

ok, quick, before i change my mind, someone direct me to where i buy or that page where you can order in english... quick quick!!!

Eoin Madsen · 10-12-2005 5:21pm

They look nice but I'm not really GASing either. :cool:

That said, I did just spend about 40 minutes reading about Q-tuners again.

feylya · 10-12-2005 5:22pm

Has anyone bought one of those q-tuners yet?

Doctor J · 10-12-2005 5:39pm

In my mind, yes. I'm going to build a 5 string with them in it. Definitely. I made up my mind last week. They're ugly as **** but they intrigue me too much to resist any more.

Eoin, have a read and listen to this. Interesting, it is.

Eoin Madsen · 10-12-2005 6:30pm

I read and listened already.

I did a search for Q-tuners on talkbass as well.

It's actually more compelling an example than the sample on the Q-tuner site - whatever they played didn't really seem average enough to compare with.

I've also resolved to get some, for a 4-string bass. I think they look kinda cool tbh.

Well, not gold anyway and, it goes without saying, it must have speed knobs.

feylya · 10-12-2005 7:17pm

Don't get me wrong, I like the gold on it. I just think black would be better. And boourns to speed knobs!

sei046 · 11-12-2005 12:13pm

Ls85q is gorgeous.

The Freeman · 11-12-2005 6:26pm

I'm converted to the cause!!!
