Bass On Top

these basses are soo nice...if I can sell my Maple Basic 5 I will really have to consider this 6 String!

I think so as well! As far as Trades go: I would love a Tobias Fretless with serial number before 2044

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.

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]).

if anyone wants a soundclip of this bass, pm me your email and i will forward it

thanks kuzbass!

okay just to make things a bit more tempting: lets day 1800 British Pounds, which is 2100 Euros.

well its still here :-) (though i will be honest, there has been some interest from other members) dont think anybody will be disappointed with this bass. it plays like butter. and its like new. W&T had a price increase this year, so a full blown Custom Zoid like this would set you back well over 3000 euros. just sayn ;-)

No Problem. Here is a video of a Bass with very similar specs (pretty much same wood combo and scale length, just a different top wood and body shape): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rXbod1pu_vE If you want I can records a little something as well. Today I will be a little busy, but in the next few days I will have a go.

yes, not too heavy, its not a huge bass. and the great thing is that its really comfortable seated (it is wide enough) or standing (shorter scale, good shapings).

so the weight is about 4.1 - 4.2 Kilograms (I got this by weighing myself with and without the bass, and calculated the difference)

I dont have a balance in my flat, but a rough estimate would be somewhere between 3.8 - 4.4 kilogramms maybe? I would say average weight. Not a lightweight, but no heavy weight either. I can find out the exact weight in the next couple of days and I will post it here.

thanks guys!

another pic

for now I would like to sell as i need some cash, but a cheaper bass + cash could work out...

I am only selling because I need the money. I am not sure yet if I want/have to do it, so I might pull the ad down again. This Bass is also as mint as they get, with the case and tools included. Its like a new custom Bass without the wait time. If you need more pics, shoot me a mail and I will try to make some (its hard to capture the cream color of the holly). SOLD SOLD SOLD

Price or Trade Value is 920 Pounds ;-)

I recently got this bass here on the forum, and while its a super playing/sounding rare Tobias Standard, I am forced to move it on again as some unforeseeable cash problems have shown up: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/195442-tobias-5-standard-neckthrou-lined-fretless-sold/page__p__1996080__hl__tobias%20standard__fromsearch__1#entry1996080"]http://basschat.co.u..._1#entry1996080[/url] I am willing to let her go for quite a bit less...the bass can be shipped and come with the original case. asking 1050 Euros for now.

what is the scale length and string spacing?
