Custom Pre-Gibson Tobias Classic 6-string, #17XX Walnut, needs some love

Early 90's pre-Gibson Tobias Classic 6-string. The body and top are walnut with a wenge tone plate, neck is walnut and wenge with a pau ferro fingerboard. Pearl inlaid Tobias logo on the headstock. Serial number is 17XX. (All three serial #s are present) Original curved top pick ups are also still intact, as are all the latches of the included original hardshell case.

This bass has some issues... As near as I can tell the bass started its life as a fretless and at some point was professionally fretted. The bass also started its life with a 7-pin midi set up for the electronics and had the standard Tobias branded bridge. However now, the midi Jack remains but isn't hooked up to anything, and the electronics have been replaced with a Seymour Duncan pre-amp. Additionally the original bridge has been replaced with a Wilkinson.

Despite all this the bass is in overall good playing and functional condition. It has the classic asymmetrical Tobias
Neck shape and weighs in at a measly 10 lbs

Had I decided to keep this I thought about having the fingerboard and electronics replaced, but truthfully I need a 6-string like I need a hole in my head. Bass is what it is and is priced accordingly. You won't find a pre-Gib classic 6 cheaper than this!
