AndyTravis Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 Always looked at these and thought “want”. But never been the time. Recently sold a Spector so missing that neck through, active, fancy wood bit… Haven’t plugged it in as I was involved in a ridiculous situation at work today involving mud and being punched and kicked… Anyhow. It needs a tweak - but acoustically is very much like an old Warwick I had, but feels lovely. I haven’t plugged it in - because, frankly…wine has been opened and I’m really bloody sore. Will report back. 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simisker Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 "Bookmatched? Um... yeah, sure." That's an original pre-Gibson Tobias, right? Nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice It’s a Korean “Toby Pro” - feels great, have just pulled out the Allen keys and made it right for me. shipped with brand new d’addario’s which is handy.

simisker Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 (edited) Ah, right. That'll teach me to daytime drink! I've never played one, but I've always thought that Tobias basses were some of the more handsome designs. Really well proportioned; the headstock is a particular highlight. Enjoy!

OliverBlackman Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 Where do you find all these basses? That’s the best looking Toby Pro I’ve ever seen. Never tried one because I didn’t like the name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris2112 Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 That Tobias shape is one of the all time classics. Such an elegant design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pea Turgh Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 That’s exactly like the one I played as a teen in the 90’s but couldn’t afford! When you get bored of it, can you let me know, please?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bassassin Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 Lovely, that. Always had a little GAS for one, I'm a complete sucker for a through-neck. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You didn't HAVE to buy it. The irony here is I passed it up, Andy went for it and then I saw a Violinburst one 2 days later. That gets here Monday. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
