Dynamite with a laser beam?

I have (naturally) already asked for review basses, I really wanna give them a spin. However it might be one of my esteemed staff mates will get their hands on them first! Keep an eye out for a review when we do!

Did you buy the green Tobias on here? I'm pretty sure I used to own that bass many years ago! Always regretted selling it.

Yes, bought it here about 15 years ago. Kept it for 1 or so then sold via bass gallery. 

[Brian18242]

Yep, that would have been my old bass then. Loved the neck, super fast

[obi 2 kenobi]

Yes, it was great. Regret selling it. Been looking for it but no luck

Finally got the house settled and have spent the last hour-ish with the KBV. Understanding the electronics better. Also how she like's to be handled. Balances well in the strap. Found the clean stuff. The dirt is just a flick of the wrist, and you can be on another planet. Playing style shows. Pickup selection(pan control). Slight adjustments either way can be felt. Best to start at center and adjust. But the pickups are strong. I still feel like I'm playing an Alembic. The classic still rest in case. I'm gonna fine tune the KB. Again, I'm just running wide open into a small mixer. With headphones. Good ones. So very basic at the moment. Once the studio is done. 2-3 weeks. I can better control with the setup in it. But the new Toby KBV rocks. I expect the Classic to rock my world.

Started thinking after that last post. So, I got the Classic V out. Has new strings on it and is in tune out of the case. Body fits better than the KB. EQ so much better. Easier to control out of the gate. Easier on the right hand(if that makes any sense). Smooth tones. It's an affordable MTD 534. After 15 minutes of play I've already ask for it's hand in marriage.

 

She said yes.

I think I've spent too long looking at the Classic V. I think the only thing I'd liek to change (given that I've not had a chance to play one yet) is that I favour 'quick release' bridges. Definitely not a deal breaker by any means, just a nice to have. I'm also an EMG guy, but given EMG don't offer Bart config, it would have to stay as is. I reckon that B would be brutal with a pair of active soapbars in though! 

 

Maaaan I need more YT videos!
