Second, the colour is one that would need the right buyer to come along. Finishes like black, sunburst or natural will always get a lot more interest. Third, a lot of prospective buyers may associate the name Tobias with a product that's of a very different level to this instrument. Sorry I couldn't be of any help, but like a lot of people, I'd say you're just a victim of a very poor used market.[/quote] +1 I'd also recommend that you takes some more photos, preferably outdoors in some sunshine, to really show it off. Tobias basses have a beautiful shape and you just can't tell that from your pictures. Might also be useful to namecheck some of the bassists that have used Tobias basses over the years and to provide a link to the reviews of Tobias basses on Harmony Central here: [url="http://reviews.harmony-central.com/reviews/Electric+Bass/product/Tobias/Killer+B-5/10/1"]http://reviews.harmony-central.com/reviews...Killer+B-5/10/1[/url] Good luck!

This is a seriously good bass! As you said Isaac, it was mine and I only moved it on because, with my Roscoe Beck V becoming my main gigging bass, it wasn't being used and I thought it was too good an instrument to just be sitting on a stand at every gig.. I've owned a Ken Smith Designs Proto-Jazz 5, played a couple of Sei Jazz 5's and also tried Birdy's Sadowsky Jazz 5s at the Bash in March and in my opinion, this DJ5 is more authentically a 'Jazz Bass' than any of them. It's as the Fender Jazz was originally designed to be; classic styling, simple to use but beautiful sounding... I'd better stop now otherwise I'm going to want it back Anyway, just to say good luck with the sale and have a free BUMP on me! Whoever buys this bass won't be disappointed and Isaac is a really good guy to deal with!

The posting options with cabs are pretty good these days.. I've bought and sold a number of large cabs over the last 2 years and always used APC and they've been great! Definitely worth considering I'd say, especially if you have someone interested as it seems you do.... Good luck with it!

Now on Ebay, if anyone's interested.. [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=150269098893&ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT&ih=005"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...E:IT&ih=005[/url]

Hi Folks, With apologies to Marcus who's currently selling a 700 RB II (the later version of this amp), I'm also putting my GK 700 RB up for sale, though it's the older model 700 and the asking price reflects that fact! [attachment=10503:GK_700_front.jpg] Though I've used this amp very happily for the last year, I'm selling because I now need an amp that will work at 2ohms so that I can use my SWR Triad and SWR 210 at the same time (both of which are 4ohm cabs). So, a Peavey T-Max head is due to arrive imminently to allow me to do just that... Otherwise, I'd be keeping this GK700 because it's a great sounding, very versatile and very portable amp and it's been absolutely brilliant for gigging with! [attachment=10504:GK_700_back.jpg] It has the usual GK features; simple to use e.q. including the pre-set for use with 5 string basses which is great, a contour control (which is kind of like the Trace Elliot mid-cut) and the 'boost' control which adds some grit and dirt to your sound a bit like a tube pre-amp does.. The tuner out function is very handy, as is the mute switch and the 10db cut facility at the input stage. And although I've never really used it, the amp has a bi-amp facility as well which allows you to run the very high frequencies seperately from the rest of the frequencies. [attachment=10508:Tone_controls.jpg] When I got it from Ebay, the first thing I did was get it serviced and it was given a clean bill of health and a bit of a spring clean, so it's in perfect working order. Cosmetically it's a bit tatty as you can see in the photos but that doesn't affect the sound in any way. [attachment=10506:GK_700_underneath.jpg] Just in case anyone asks, I'm not after any trades as I need to sell this to fund the T-Max and though I'm putting it up here, I'm aware that there's a lot of good stuff on the Forum for sale at the moment, so I'm also going to be listing this on Ebay too. But in an ideal world, I'd much rather sell to a fellow Basschat member if I can! [attachment=10507:Input_stage.jpg] I'm happy to ship it if necessary or collection is welcome, as is coming round to try it out! If you've any questions, please PM me or ask away here.. Thanks for looking, Nik

I actually prefer mine to the DJ5 I'd bought from P-T-P last year, though that's a great bass as well..
