rare Vintage Japan Burns Violin VB Bass 1969 - Sunburst Teisco Gen Gakki Tokyo
Our users rate Reverb
Burns Tokyo were of course manufactured by Teisco-Gen-Gakki between late '67 and mid '69 and mainly made hollowbodies for the domestic market via a shop in Tokyo. These were mainly entry level to mid-range guitars with a few higher end guitars reaching up to almost 40.000 JY at the time.
This bass was essentially sold under many different brands like Firstman, Idol, Honey, Minister and more in slightly different specs at many different price points. All were made by Teisco-Gen-Gakki after the Kawai takeover when several Teisco employees and managers left to start their own brands. Contrary to what's written on some selling sites these particular guitars and basses had nothing to do with the brand Teisco at all.
Bass has typical T-G-G hardware and plays and sounds great. The pickups are a type of bass P-90 with medium output with lots of clarity and good punch. The bridge is the simple but very effective adjustable roller bridge used on thousands of Japanese guitars and basses in the late 60's. The electrics are copied off the original Hofner version with o/off switches and a tone switch and a master volume and tone pot.
gives cool vintage low sound. bass play great and sounds mature.
