rapscallion Posted October 2, 2009 Posted October 2, 2009 (edited) Selling my Toby Pro sixer basically because it doesn't get the attention it deserves anymore, and will hopefully fund some near endless G.A.S. The bass is thru neck [maple and wenge construction w/ rosewood board] with maple wings, in cherry red. Fitted with a Wilkinson bridge [the originals are meant to be kak [i]- yes, the stock bridge was absolute garbage! Rich[/i]] and the preamp is an EMG BQS 3-band eq. The string spacing at the bridge is 17mm and 10mm at the nut. It weighs 10lbs. [thanks to Rich for the ACTUAL info ] Looking for £350 ono. Possibly trade, but the dollars would be prefered. Located nr [b]Guildford, Portsmouth[/b], but can deliever within reason. Cheers, Will Edited November 2, 2009 by rapscallion
JimBobTTD Posted October 2, 2009 Posted October 2, 2009 Interesting...what's the string spacing on this? Pickups?
Kiwi Posted October 2, 2009 Posted October 2, 2009 If I was looking for an entry level 6 that could potentially be something I could live with over the longer term, this bass would be my no. 1 choice. OK the stock pickups and preamp aren't anything to write home about but upgrade them with some Wizard GEMs and a u-retro and you'll have a very nice instrument. That this bass has some upgrades already and its still a good price makes it all the more tempting. I found the body shape, neck and string spacing were very comfortable.
JimBobTTD Posted October 2, 2009 Posted October 2, 2009 The body shape looks very much like a Jazz to me. Is it?
rapscallion Posted October 3, 2009 Author Posted October 3, 2009 Oh sorry about that, I'm close to Guildford, Surrey, and Portsmouth. Jim Bob, the bass certainly has the same offset body type as a Jazz bass, but no, not entirely Some information regarding the hardware, the pickups are the original Tobias soapbars, but the pre-amp is an EMG BQS 3-band eq. The bridge is a Wilkinson. The only slight nick on it is on the upper horn, and is barely noticable. If anybody would like pictures I'll be happy to sort them out. Where abouts would I measure string spacing from?
JimBobTTD Posted October 3, 2009 Posted October 3, 2009 At the nut and bridge, please! I'm definitely interested - more pics would be nice. Don't hold it for me or anything, though, as I am not sure I could get on with the body shape.
flippyfloop Posted October 3, 2009 Posted October 3, 2009 I'm very interested in this ! Do you know the weight ?
BLUEAARDVARK Posted October 4, 2009 Posted October 4, 2009 Hi there .... Would you consider part exchange for an Ashdown MAG C410T-300 EVO II Combo? [url="http://www.ashdownmusic.com/bass/detail.asp?ID=79"]Ashdown[/url] Have been looking for a nice 6 string for ages.........
rapscallion Posted October 4, 2009 Author Posted October 4, 2009 The string spacing at the nut is 10mm and bridge is 17mm. Weight wise we're looking at about 10lbs, but, I did measure it with a Wii Fit board!! I will supply the bass with a nice thick leather strap to spread the load!
Rich Posted October 4, 2009 Posted October 4, 2009 Hi all This is my old bass -- the bridge is actually a Wilkinson and the preamp is an EMG BQS 3-band eq. And if I had the dosh, I'd consider buying it back!
leloupa Posted October 5, 2009 Posted October 5, 2009 I'll take it .. (as you don't mind shipping overseas and if the costs wouldn't be too high) can you check shipping costs to belgium please ? thank you. cheers, Dave
rapscallion Posted October 6, 2009 Author Posted October 6, 2009 Hi there. I think my mother's travelling to Belgium in November, where abouts are you?

leloupa Posted October 7, 2009 Posted October 7, 2009 I live in the middle of the triangle Antwerp - Gent - Brussel, i don't mind driving a while so that would be very nice... !
rapscallion Posted October 12, 2009 Author Posted October 12, 2009 Still available. Keen for Fender Jazz trades!
