Ok up for sale is my Tobias standard V in white. this ia a very very rare bass only around 400 were ever made and i've never seen one for sale in white! the following text explains the history of the bass It was made in 1992 (after the Gibson buyout but before they took over production) in Japan and states on the headstock that it was "Fabricated in Japan to standards set by Tobias Guitars, assembly & Q.A. at Tobias Guitars, Burbank, CA.. U.S.A." Here’s the explanation from Mike Tobias himself: [url="http://www.mtdbass.com/pages/company.html"]http://www.mtdbass.com/pages/company.html[/url] “Basses built during 1990-1992 era were built initially by the same crew that had helped establish Tobias Basses as one of the most sought after basses on the planet. Business was still very good and we were not able to make anywhere near enough basses to fill the orders. Instead of trying to jack up production, we tried to get outside vendors to build for us. We got the Terada factory in Nagoya, Japan to make the "Standard" bass for us. This was and is a great bass, but the $/yen ratio killed the project. There were about 400 Standards. Late in 1992, it was decided that in the best corporate interests, Tobias would move to Nashville. After much deliberation, no one from the original Tobias Guitars crew went to Nashville. The final LA Tobias/Gibson serial number is 2044. Despite Gibson's ownership of Tobias, all of the basses made up to 2044 were built by the my regular crew.” specs 34" scale bartolini pickups Bartolini TCT preamp(as i belive USA MTD's preamps are based around this pre) neck thru with swamp ash wings and 5 piece maple and bubinga neck with rosewood board tobias hard case included as this bass is the best part of 20 years old there are a few bumps but that are in the area of the jack sockect so when palying can not be seen. reason for sale is i need to move on to 35" scale as the band i play in play alot of low b riffs and i need some more tension in the low register. Ok so this baby is up for sale(again) £520 this price is so low for this bass get it now ,[attachment=49972:026.JPG] [attachment=49973:027.JPG] [attachment=49974:028.JPG] [attachment=49975:029.JPG]

did these basses come with the asymmetrical neck? and did they make 5 strings? cos wow it looks just like a Grendel and if it was made in the Czeck republic that will mean its of slightly better quality then the current Koren models.

This is a great bass, served me well. have a bump

Up for sale is my GK rig which is a 700rb head(old model and is well used and does have lots of scratchs but works perfectly) a RBH 210 and RBH 115(all the specs can be found on the GK website) both cabs have been gigged so do have some road ware such as cracked corner protecors slight rust on some screws and the fabric cover is a bit loose in the ports of the 115 but this has been a working rig well looked after but has had to go on the road so things do get bashed about.

this bass has had alot of use as it was my main bass for four years, so does have dings ect. Since i brought my tobias i have not been playing this bass and would like to get a new cab(a schroeder 410l would possibly trade this bass for that cab) and i want to use this bass to fund the new cab. i had a Bartolini NTMB 3 band eq installed a few years ago and it sounds great on this bass. the a just a nut is cracked so when changing strings the top half does come off but when strung it works as it was ment to. Price wise i'm looking for £650 ono [attachment=31988:025.JPG] [attachment=31989:026.JPG] [attachment=31990:027.JPG] [attachment=31991:030.JPG]
