theforevertest Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 (edited) Hi all For sale is my Gibson-built Tobias Killer B 4-string bass. Really nice bass... very light with a lovely thin neck, very playable and great tone. Specs: - Swamp ash body with translucent red gloss finish - 5-piece asymmetrical maple neck - Pau Ferro fingerboard - Black chrome hardware - Grover tuners - ABM bridge - Arch-top active Bartolini pickups - Active Bartolini pre-amp with 3-way EQ - Mid cut/boost switch - 34" scale - 24 frets - Push/pull volume pot for slap tone - BRAND NEW handmade black corian nut Just had it serviced and setup by Almuse in Grantham (and when I say "just" I mean I picked it up from the tech lastnight). The receipt for this will be included with the bass. Here's what I had done: - Full setup - New mid cut/boost switch - Couple of saddle screws/springs - New nut as specified above (original was ivory coloured but I specced a black replacement and it looks awesome) The bass comes with an excellent Tobias padded gig bag. Bad bits: - Couple of scratches around the body, very minor, I've pictured the worst - Very light buckle rash You will see from the pictures that the bass EQ knob is missing. The actuator and potentiometer are fine, it's just the knob that's missing. I cannot source an exact replacement so I will be replacing all the knobs with new MXR knobs prior to sale. Shame this has to go as it provides respite from the weight of my Warwick! However I need the money to upgrade my rig and I can't justify having an expensive backup (or so the Mrs says). I'm looking for [s][b]£500[/b][/s] [b]£450[/b] no offers. Was around £1500 new, last used one to go on here was £750 (a 5-string) so I think the price is more than fair. You're welcome to view the bass before making an offer but please be aware I do not have an amp at home you'll be able to plug into (mine is kept at our studio). I am in Lincolnshire. Please message with any offers/enquiries/questions. I will pack for courier shipping if requested by the buyer, but the courier charges are the buyer's responsibility. As it does not come with a hard case I'd wouldn't recommend having it shipped. I'd prefer face-to-face collection but that's the buyer's call. It's also going on eBay, please do me a favour and buy it through here to save me the fees!
