[quote name='Doddy' post='639155' date='Oct 28 2009, 04:35 PM']Lovely Bass....But it's not Pre Gibson. Burbank era Tobias basses from Serial number 1094 onwards were made by Mike Tobias and his team,but under Gibson ownership,so technically it's not 'Pre Gibson'[/quote] The Burbank era is "considered" pré Gibson because this basses where still build by MikeTobias and his team... If this disturbes you, let us call it "Pré-Nashville" than, however, it is still handbuild by Mike Tobias and his team and didn't roll out of a Gibson factory.... and that is what it is all about....

Bump!

It's not that heavy for a Alembic! My series II was 5,7 kg...

The weight of the bass is appr. 4,7 kg Dirk

[quote name='jmanfunk' post='574921' date='Aug 20 2009, 12:36 AM']I've dealt with Dirk before and he is a gent to say the least so you can be sure to buy with confidence. Although for that kind of money I would fly to Belgium and hire a small security team to escort [i]it[/i] and [b]me[/b] back home! That bass is simply exquisite Good luck with the sale Dirk.
