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]).

This is a "pre-Nashville", but not a "pre-Gibson".

GLWTS!

[chrisbass13]

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.

I can see why. These are GREAT basses.

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