[quote name='gelfin' timestamp='1364249946' post='2023968'] I have a Toby Pro 4. Plays really well and feels great. Nice through neck construction. As said above it could do with better active electronics. Bass frequencies are big and deep but the highs are a bit thin and clanky. Often on the bay at around £250 ish. If you fancy a drive over to Cardiff you are welcome to give mine a try [/quote] Thanks. Won't be getting across the bridge any time soon but thanks for the offer. I think Im going to sit tight and find a tobias that I cam either play first or is a bargin. Cheers for all the advice much appreciated.

Is £350ish a fair price for a Toby pro?
-
Or my final option, which I shouldn't discount, is to ignore the coincidental sentimentality of choosing a name of a Bass maker and just buy a few quality basses for him and his sisters while they grow up and let them have a pick when they are old enough! It'll give me the excuse to a get an old Gibson or Guild that I currently have GAS for!

Hi. Thanks for the comments. I just wish I lived nearer bass direct to try some mtds as they look bloody good basses. However as my boy is called tobias it seems more fitting to try and find abass of the same name. Options at the moment seem to be a couple of Toby pros at £3to 400 , a jap built 5 string on here that looks lovely but is a bit out of my price range, the mtds at bass direct or to wait and see if anything more local comes up that I can try first.

Hi. Whereabouts are you based? Cheers

Hi. Whereabouts near bristol are you?cheers -
Thanks. If this had been intentional to buy a bass I'd have called him wal (and money was no object). Thanks for the mtd advice. Anyone know what the tobias Toby basses are like?
-
Any tobias advice gratefully received. Cheers

I'm considering getting a Tobias as we've just had a son and that is now his name so it seems fitting to think about a bass with his name on for whe he is old enough. Only trouble is ive never played one so could do with some advice. Toby pros or mtd kingstons are more my price range but ive read that post gibson tobias' aren't propper ones so is it worth selling a kidney for a pre gibson one, or are the toby pro basses as good as they look? Thanks for any help.

How big a job is a recap? The head was a cheapish ebay purchase a while back but I love the sound despite the head weighing a ton and being as big as a 2x10. I'm in 2 minds whether to get it fixed or flog it for spares/repair.

Might just be a bust solder joint but it is old but not valve. Its peavey musician head from 70s which cuts out after being played for a few minutes. I'm hoping it just needs a clean and a dab of solder. Heron isn't too far from me may try to drop it in to Justin. Thanks
-
Can anyone recommend a good amp repairer in bristol. I understand jessie james is the man but apparently he has not been well. The 2 nearest me are either heron music or amp loft. But am aware of steve at pmt, treblerock, and electrofix. Has anyone had any experience with any of these or could recpmmend anyone else. Cheers

There's been a few yamaha bb1100s in the for sale section for about that price. I've had mine years and they are bargins now. Really versatile active / passive switch nice neck and a really broad range of tones. Not the most flamboyant looking though!

http://www.bellcommunity.org.uk/ Campaign to save one of the best music pubs in the south west becoming another of baths gastro pubs. Im sure people on here must have played there. Used to be a local of mine when i lived in bath.

All that's been considered because my cousin grew up with the initials a r s! Surname is bragg so no suggestion of billy please! Thing is I've never played a tobias or an mtd it just seemed like a good excuse for a new bass(it'll be his to grow into)! Are the cheaper tobias' or mtd kingstons any good?
-
Thinking of duck or bootsy

[quote name='Skol303' timestamp='1362742238' post='2004043'] Hehe, I like your thinking! Tobias is a cool name too. Skol Jnr is called Max... so that's his volume setting sorted out already Wishing you all the best with the new arrival. [/quote] Does it go to 11?
-
Ive got a baby due any day and one of the names on our shortlist is tobias. If this is the name we go for, does that mean that i have to buy a bass of the same name. If that is the case how can i convince my wife that Wal would be a good middle name?

[attachment=129172:bass1.jpg][attachment=129172:bass1.jpg]For Sale, Peavey Musician Bass head for sale circa 1970s. This is a big solid old trasistor head with built in fuzz, overdrive and tremelo effects, and 2 channels and sounds fantastic. It has developed a fault wher after a few minutes playing it starts cutting in and out. I looked looked into getting this fixed before Xmas and was told it probably just has some dry joints and needs a clean and a dab of solder so is probably an easyish job if you know what you are doing (which I don't!). Trouble is I couldn't get it fixed in time for a gig so I bought an Ashdown Superfly to tide me over and even though I much prefer the look and sound of the Peavey the Ashdown is more smaller and more convenient for my needs at the moment, and as I don't need two Amps I'll have to let this one go! £60 ono. I'm in Bristol but happy to post in the UK for cost. Any questions, please let me know.

£40 or make me an offer anyone, or trade towards a fretless? -
1970s Arbiter SG style Bass Guitar with a short scale neck for Sale. £60 ono. or trade for a fretless (plus cash your way most likly!) I bought this last year on a whim from ebay with a view to fixing it up and trying some drop tunings. However I have decided this isn't for me and need to clear some space. I have cleaned up the bass, given it a set up, and a new set of Slinkys. A couple of things to note are the neck pick up doesn't work and I don't know the reason for this and the A string needs a new saddle, and the body has a few paint chips but nothing major (but it is a 40 year old ish instrument) and hopefully the price reflects this. Other than that it plays nicely and has a good thumpy tone similar to an EB0. Good cheap bass. Happy to post (UK only) but don't know what it would cost yet but would guess £15 to £20 Any questions please let me know. NOW SOLD

Trouble is the only true cure is to think a more annoying tune. The theme from terry and June beats all other ear worms.
