Cedd Posted August 8, 2011 Posted August 8, 2011 (edited) Hi. I sell a Tobias Basic 5 Pre Gibson #1525 (you can mail Mike Tobias for confirmation) neck wood : maple/rosewood 5 pieces. fretboard : rosewood. Pickups: Tobias (Bartolini). Electronics : Tobias (Vol/Vol/3 band eq + switch A/P). body wings : light birdeye maple. With the original case. the bass is in very good condition, no scratch. the sound : naturally very warm and round, the same level all over the neck, perfect for soul and gospell or latin jazz. with the stompbox (i use au Tubefactor for boost/light overdrive), great sound in rock, metal... few pictures: the bass is in France and i ship. 1600€ , shipping cost Out. If you need some informations, i'll try to answer you with the most clearly possible ( with my poor english level ) Cedd Edited August 30, 2011 by Cedd
silverfoxnik Posted August 8, 2011 Posted August 8, 2011 These are very fine instruments... I used to have a Tobias Classic 5 many moons ago and it was a peach of a bass.. This looks like a very good example of the quality workmanship that early pre-Gobson Tobias basses were renowned for. Good luck with the sale..
ialma Posted August 8, 2011 Posted August 8, 2011 A good bargain here, Too bad I already own a pre-Gibson Basic otherwise I would have jumped on this Good luck with the sale.
Cedd Posted August 9, 2011 Author Posted August 9, 2011 thanks for lucky comments. it's the first bass i bought when i found a job (2004). i earned some good instruments (a great wal, a carbon early Vigier...) but Basic 5 stands my sweety.
Cedd Posted August 16, 2011 Author Posted August 16, 2011 sorry, i was in we. I answered at your mp. trade isn't my priority because i'm looking hardly for cash. the perfect way for me should be "bass 4 string + Cash (1000€-1200€) VS Tobias"
