Selling my breathtaking Tobias Signature 6 pre-Gibson Zebrawood Serno 13xx Specs: Highly Figured Zebrawood Top and Back Walnut Core with Ebony accent laminates Walnut Neck with Purpleheart and Wenge Stringers Pau Ferro Board, no markers, 24 frets 17mm spacing 34" scale Bartolini electronics (Upgrade 5.4AP with same features but including active/passive switch, original harness is included) Bartolini pickups custom made for Tobias (top radius according board) OHSC This is a fantastic example of Michael Tobias' work before the production was moved to Nashville by the new Gibson owners. The serial 13xx is not really "pre-Gibson" as Michael has already sold his company around serial 10xx, but until serial 2044 the basses were manufactured by his own team and therefore considered as "pre-Gibson". These basses were the "Foderas" of the 90s. Extremely pricey and sought after over the world for their sound and build quality. This particular bass has a very smooth, warm and a wonderful "jazzy" tone like an ES335 guitar and plays as easy as even possible. Very low action, medium weight, comfortable shapings, narrow spacing and 34" scale make pure fun. At 2 areas there are about 1cm wide "foggy" spots under the gloss finish which may come from some humidity during finishing process. These are common for Tobias basses of that era. Some scuffing on the back but no dings anywhere. the bass is in excellent condition including frets. The bass has dual truss rods (really 2, not only one double action truss rod !). The neck has been asymmetrically shaped on the back - giving a very smooth and familiar feel for the left hand. The original circuit has a broken treble pot and was replaced by the current version 5.4AP, which works better (EQ knobs are less influencing each other and there is a passive option). The original harness is coming with the bass too. SOLD

Great bass and great seller ! I know this particular Fodera and it it flawless in every way. And even if the Fodera/EMG combo is soundwise not for everybody ... Players who like an explosive, crystal clear, easy to play 4-string, those should give this a try. It is a slap and fingerfunk machine and great performer, and if EMGs are not the first choice - these pickups could be easily changed to Nordstrands or other, warmer sounding pickups, without routing and soldering ! Basically the bass has the new Pope Flexcore preamp in it which has screw terminals for the wiring. Good luck with the sale. Killer price !

Thanks Goran - I can always trust in your attention :-)
