I've come round to the idea of selling my 5-string. It's been a great bass and is really solidly built.
It was one of the first basses I owned after borrowing my brothers bass for a year or 2.
So, it's a Tobias Pro 5, bought from Music Yo when that was around, and I think it was when Gibson had recently got hold of them.
It's got:[list]
[*]A thru-neck build
[*]2x Active soap bar pickups
[*]Volume/Bass/Treble/Pan Controls
[*]Slim lacquered neck
[*]Fully adjustable bridge
[/list]
It's very solid and has survived for sometime. It's never had any electrical problems or hardware problems.
It does have the usual slight markings from playing in ares like the back and front. There is a very slight knock on the neck and head, also a crack of the lacquer behind the G tuning peg. This is not the wood cracking!

I truly believe this bass has the body build to last a lifetime! Bought it for about £400 and I'd like to get £220 for it now.
I'd rather not deal with couriers and stuff, I live in Guildford, Surrey and would gladly travel within reason for a pick up.
Cheers!
