Hi @ivyserpent. Do you know the weight and string spacing? Looks like the spacing is adjustable but wondering where it’s set at the moment. And does it come with a case/gig bag of any sort?

Beautiful basses, really resonant and easy to play! 

 

I had a Tobias Classic 5 in the 1990s and it was such a great sounding and great looking bass. 

 

IIRC, the string spacing on these models was 17.5 mm at the bridge, but it was a long time ago and my memory isn't quite what it was... 😬😁

 

Anyway, GLWTS 👍😊

Thanks for the reply on behalf of the seller! Are these basses heavy?

Had a Killer B, 5 string bolt on version of the Basic. 
 

String spacing is fixed at 17.5mm.

This model is early 2000.

Comes with heavily used but full operational tobias hard case.
