NBD - again.

[AndyTravis]

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.

"Bookmatched? Um... yeah, sure."

 

That's an original pre-Gibson Tobias, right? 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.

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!

got it playing beautifully…

 

I think it’s worth investment if the pre/pickups aren’t up to much (as reported)

Busy week…

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.

That Tobias shape is one of the all time classics. Such an elegant design. 

[AndyTravis]

Apart from the basic Epiphone sub brand ones, do they even make Tobias USA anymore?

Yeah, bought it about 3 weeks ago, but had to wait for delivery as I used a man and van.

Just found the thread at the end of my new posts stream.

Very nice Tobias.

[Pea Turgh]

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?!

Lovely, that. Always had a little GAS for one, I'm a complete sucker for a through-neck.

It takes two to tango. 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.

Ok it was early. It also has a Seymour Duncan 3 band preamp as a bonus.
