Product Description
This listing is for a 4 string Tobias Basic bass guitar that was made in the USA. Everything works just as it should. Cosmetically, the bass is in excellent condition . There are some light scratches and small imperfections, but as you can see from the pics, the bass looks awesome.
Tobias calls this the "Basic" model, but it could be any other company's top-of-the-line model. It is a beautifully handcrafted, professional-quality instrument, and a masterpiece of modern bass design. I do not believe that Gibson/Tobias is making this bass any more.
Most of the Tobias Basic basses that I have seen use just a single wood type for the body, but this bass has a Walnut body together with a stunning Purple Heart top. The Purple Heart top matches the two Purple Heart stringers that run that run through the neck. I have been unable to positively date this bass but it was probably manufactured in 2005 to 2006. I am the second owner of the bass.
NOTE: I can ship internationally. Contact me for a shipping quote if you are outside of the USA.
Tobias Basics are equipped with a custom made 18 volt active Bartolini preamp and two Bartolini humbucking pickups. This bass features a 2 piece Walnut body with a Purple Heart top. It has neck-thru-body construction with a 5 piece multi-laminated neck of Maple with Purple Heart stringers, and a Pau Ferro fretboard. The Tobias made bridge is crafted from die cast aluminum with brass saddles. The woodworking and craftsmanship are top-notch, and it’s simply a great looking bass.
It is a fairly light bass, the action is excellent, and the asymmetrical 5 ply neck feels great in your left hand and is effortless to play. The sale includes the original Tobias hard shell case which is in good condition. The case shows signs of wear, but all latches and hinges are working.
INFO FROM THE GIBSON/TOBIAS WEBSITE
The Tobias Basic features all the essentials that have made Tobias the first choice of professional bassists. With MultiLam neck thru design and a broad selection of tone woods for body wings, the Basic can handle any style of music from Rock to Reggae, from Jazz to Blues.
Whether it's Rock or Reggae, the Tobias Basic will effortlessly handle any demand. The two-piece body and five-piece Asym™ neck make it a solid masterpiece of modern bass design. Our strict quality control standards ensure you receive the best handcrafted instrument made.
5-piece neck-thru body construction, with solid wings (and for this bass a beautiful Purple Heart top.
THE BOTTOM LINE
This is a stunning looking, neck thru body bass made in the USA. It feels great in your hands and is a joy to play. And most importantly, it can dial in a wide pallet of great tones.
I don't believe that Gibson/Tobias is making these basses any more, so if you are looking for a beautiful bass built in the USA, that sounds great and plays great, and is getting harder to find, this is your bass.
Aloha and thanks for looking.
