budget bassist Posted May 14, 2008 Posted May 14, 2008 Sweet basses man, i got me a tobias toby pro 5B custom and they're exceptional basses for the money. That grendel looks pretty sweet too, though i'm a neck thru man myself. Also that's an MTD grendel just so you know, MTD is still owned by Michael Tobias whereas Tobias was founded by him and is now owned by gibson, two entirely different companies, very similar basses though.

SiOfBass Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 liking the TBH bass, the curves make me think victor wooten... nice toys Quote
bass_ferret Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 Just seen the sale thread on the TBC - looks a lot more expensive than it was. Surprised it took so long to sell - I guess he was not trying hard enough. Quote

Sharkfinger Posted July 24, 2008 Posted July 24, 2008 Wondered who that lovely TBC went to. Was in the running for it but had to drop out when I was made redundant. By the time I'd got another job, it had gone. Still, if you ever consider selling it.. Quote

Lenny B Posted July 25, 2008 Posted July 25, 2008 I used to have a Toby 4 - great bass, regret selling it. If anyone sees one with a Darth Vader hologram sticker on the headstock, drop me a line (reward offered) Quote

OutToPlayJazz Posted July 30, 2008 Posted July 30, 2008 I love that Toby Pro 4. Just one thing, though... Why did you stick that horrible pick holder to the front? Won't the glue mark the finish? Quote
