JensWest Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 Hi! I'm thinking about a deal for this pre Gibson Tobias 6-string. Serial: 911 Now, how much would you pay for this one? Everythings original exept one knob has been changed and I think the hatch for the trussrod is missing. / Jens Quote
silverfoxnik Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 (edited) Difficult to say; early Tobias basses did go for quite high prices in the States but they're less common over here so it's not so easy to find a benchmark.. So, my guess would be around the £1200-£1500 mark, but that's based purely on the fact that the market for 6 string basses is smaller than it is for 5 string basses.. And also the fact that there is less money around at the moment. Very good basses though... Edited February 25, 2009 by silverfoxnik Quote

Kiwi Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 Personally, I really like the necks on the Tobias basses that I've tried. The string spacing is quite narrow but, regardless of aesthetics, everything feels in place. I've never played one of the US made basses, only the Korean made versions. I wouldn't mind having a test drive on one of the authentic jobbies to see what the bass response is like because the pickups and pre in the korean versions were a little lacking. Good luck in selling, this is one of those basses I've always been curious about but not had a lot of exposure to. Quote
