Custom Epiphone Toby Standard IV 4 String Electric Bass Guitar Michael Tobias Body

Epiphone is proud to reintroduce the classic bass that players have been asking for, the Toby Standard IV. With its roots in the original designs of Michael Tobias introduced over 10 years ago, the "Toby" brought real innovation to bassists hungry for something that reflected modern playing styles. And now, Epiphone and Tobias team up to bring back this classic design, once again putting cutting edge sounds and designs in the hands of all musicians. 

The Toby Standard IV features the classic Tobias-designed ergonomic body shape that bassists find so easy to play, providing a focused, ‘finished’ sound that has all the punch of an upright with all the clear detail of an electric. Whether you’re in your garage or on a stage, the Toby Standard IV is perfectly balanced with a rich sound and great playability.

This Toby Standard IV features a solid radiata body and a flush-mount, low profile, adjustable bridge. The Toby Standard's most legendary feature is the Tobias Asymmetrical Neck profile which is a bolt on design with recessed bolts and washers for easy adjustments. Tobias basses were among the first instruments to feature an asymmetrical neck, a design where the neck is thinner on the lower side than on the upper side. The asymmetric back shape feels less bulky than standard bass necks allowing for maximum hand comfort. While these satin finished necks might "feel" thinner, there is sufficient thickness on the upper side to provide for excellent strength, stability and best of all deep rich tone. Your thumb will find easy reference points as your hand glides up and down the fretboard. The neck has a 34” scale length for enhanced clarity, a Rosewood fretboard with a 12” fretboard radius and a 1.68” nut.

This Toby Standard IV electrocnics features classic Tobias designed pickups with a Tobias TBR Dual Rail Humbucker in the neck and a Tobias TBT Dual Rail Humbucker at the bridge. Controls include a Master Volume, Pickup Blend with center Detent, Bass Cut, and Treble Cut.

This Toby Standard IV features rock solid hardware including premium die-cast 17:1 ratio machine heads for tuning stability and a fully adjustable, low profile flush-mounted bridge.
