Muzz Posted March 19, 2024 Posted March 19, 2024 A pal of mine has just acquired this thing from a friend, and he's got no idea about it, so he asked me, aaaaannnnddd...neither have I 😐 It says Michael Tobias on it, but the headstock and pickups are Music Drive branded...even a Google Reverse Image search doesn't help, it's all Pedullas 🙂 Quote
LeftyJ Posted March 19, 2024 Posted March 19, 2024 I googled the brand name and came across this thread: Music Drive Guitars | Axe Central It has some interesting info and even a catalog shot (from the guitars section, unfortunately not the basses). 1 Quote
Henrythe8 Posted March 19, 2024 Posted March 19, 2024 Yup. Korean made brand. ::: MD Guitar ::: (mdcustomshop.com) https://mdcustomshop.com/img/p_img/31_0.jpg 2 Quote
Muzz Posted March 19, 2024 Author Posted March 19, 2024 Fantastic - I was obviously going down the wrong internet rabbit hole with my given info (wrong) that it was a Tobias of some sort...I shall pass that along, thanks 👍 Quote
Bigguy2017 Posted March 19, 2024 Posted March 19, 2024 (edited) Yes, certainly looks like some kind of Music Drive bass - the hooked 'Ric' horns are on the guitars too.
