Brams77 Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 I'm sort of a Tobias knowledgeable person;) This is a Tobias Standard 5 which was made in Nagoya Japan and assembled in Burbank USA by Mikes crew. Great basses indeed! The line was Standard (Japan) Model T (made by Pedulla) Basic,Classic, Signature (Burbank) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RebopBass Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Hi! That's a beauty What's the string spacing on these, and the scale length ? Any interest in trades ? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brams77 Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Oh and for anyone who didn't know these have an older Bart tct preamp but the mid pot is located inside the control cavity.. These are fantastic preamps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverfoxnik Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 [quote name='basspro557' timestamp='1410354769' post='2548465'] String spacing on these and All pre gibsons are 17.5 mm and 34 inch scale. [/quote] +1 Years ago, I had a pre Gibson Tobias Classic 5, and it was one of the most resonant and funky sounding basses that I've ever had! Same Bart pick ups and pre as this, so this Standard model should be one hell of a great sounding bass! Good price too for a quality through neck instrument, IMO. In the end, I couldn't really ever get used to the 17.5 mm string spacing, but it was fun while it lasted... GLWTS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andysg42 Posted September 14, 2014 Author Share Posted September 14, 2014 Cheers Nick,seems a bit slow at the mo,suppose every one is feeling the pinch. not worried if she dosnt go. got smith 5 string gas at the mo. lovely tone, can tell its a trough neck.string spacing is ok for me,very quick for finger style.slapping no probs. remember bying a bass from you awhile back, think i bought a ksd 705 from you, nice bass.. cheers nick off to a gig...

GLWTS [/quote] A standart has different pickups, instead of the revers split coils the US tobiasses have (that are also curved) this one has humbucker soapbars so it'll sound a little darker. Anyway I talked about these with Mike himself, and he Spoke very highly of these, so yeah if your into Tobias basses these are very sweet and also gentile on the wallet! I always wanted a black one tho;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiwi Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 Lovely bass. Great ergonomics. This is a better bass than a Smith. I have owned three Smith BSRGNs. Keep it and get some custom pickups from Aaron Armstrong for that Smith sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
