chrisbass13 Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 (edited) Tobias Basic 5 from 1990 (built by Mike Tobias & his Team in California) Figured Maple Body Maple / Purpleheart Neck Bartolini Pick ups and Pre Amp Double Truss Rod All Original Original Case Price: 2100 Euros or 1650 Pounds Its a great sounding and playing bass built by the Master back in the day. If you are reading this you probably know about these basses, so I wont go on about how great it is. It has been played so it does have some signs of usage, but nothing major or anything that would take away from its playability. The bass is located in Germany, but I can ship throughout Europe. The original case is included and I will pack the bass well. If you have questions, you can contact me through this forum or via mail ([email protected]).

JensWest Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 This is a "pre-Nashville", but not a "pre-Gibson". GLWTS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisbass13 Posted October 24, 2014 Author Share Posted October 24, 2014 Yes you are technically right! All tobias basses before serial number 2044 were made by Mike Tobias and his Crew, after that, they moved to Nashville and Gibson took over production (unfortunately quality dropped). Mike himself told me he considers the basses built in Burbank (between the years 1990-92) to be some of his best work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
