[quote name='zranyard' timestamp='1369308069' post='2087517'] I think 17mm, but I will double check later and let you know if I'm wrong [/quote] Are you sure that's 17mm string spacing ?

[quote name='Brams77' timestamp='1383930399' post='2271006'] I know quite a bit about these basses this is without a doubt a pre Gibson tobias that Mike and a small crew built in California. These are highly regarded and sought after basses one of the first true beautique basses on the planet. With this for sale price it's really a steal to be honest! Have a bump! [/quote] Thanks Brams77 One more information , weight of the Tobias : 4,4kg Hardcase 7kg

Ok please stop sending me PM to say "it's not a pre-gibson"... Everyone knows the story of Tobias if you don't : [url="http://www.mtdbass.com/mtd/beginnings/"]http://www.mtdbass.com/mtd/beginnings/[/url] I agree that the last serial number is 1094 but untill serial number 2044 it was made by Michael Tobias himself and his crew , so every person who have one before 2044 used to say it's a pre gibson ! You can watch it on every US forums (talkbass for exemple) My serial number is 1485 , in fact before Michael Tobias stopped , Gibson did not build it.....that is what is important! Thanks

[quote name='Brams77' timestamp='1383687252' post='2267786'] Again congrats on your little girl!! I love to make an offer to, but I'm affraid a full maple body wont give me what I need. I own an mtd 535 myself iTS an ash body plus maple/maple neck and I need something like that but a bit warmer deeper Less agressive as the mtd can be a bit much, altho there is nothing else that is more impressive then those basses they rip In rnb and gospel there isn't anything that comes close... Anyways GLWTS Take care, Bram [/quote] Thanks Bram. Price drop 1550£ (or 1850€) plus shipping

[quote name='Brams77' timestamp='1383334356' post='2263388'] Congrats hope all goes well! [/quote] Thanks ;-)

[quote name='silverfoxnik' timestamp='1383291366' post='2262563'] Very nice bass! I had a Tobias Classic 5 about 20 years ago and it sounded very much like this one; to my ears, a full, throaty kind of sound - it was a very funky bass.. GLWTS. [/quote] Thanks ;-) and I agree it's really a funky bass ! For others sounclips I will do it later, I'm going to be dad for the second time in few times (hours or maybe days but prefer hours !)

You can have a warmer sound you just need to cut a little bit treble and bridge pickup, everything is possible with this bass. If I can I will try to make others soudclips with differents sounds. But the sounds I had recorded are typically the Tobias sound , punchy with nice tones.

some soundclips , sorry for the quality I did it fast , one take but not good take !

[quote name='Brams77' timestamp='1383152678' post='2260899'] Do you by any chance have a recording of ths bass? I would love to hear it... [/quote] I will try tomorrow ;-)
