Hello, Will be posting photos of this lovely bass soon (Left my Camera at work) Due to Xmas Debt have to let this bass go :-(
Tobias Basic 5 From 1991 please note this bass has been heavely gigged and does come with the scratches and dents but really not that bad for a bass this age. As i said will post more photos soon and more info. Bass will be shipped in in padded gig bag. Tobias Basic for £450 now that is a price you don't often see ;-)

Selling at £450 due to the fact it has been gigged and the body does have scractches and dents (Hard to photo) Neck is perfect and plays like a dream. One long mark on headstock have taken a photo of this. I cannot be sure if a neck rejoin was carried out on this bass many years ago?? Neck is solid as a rock but it does look like at one point a fix was done (a good one a that) This is why i am selling at this price. Guy i bought the bass off said no fix was ever carried out on neck, so im a bit confused ;-)

Will get some more photos of the neck up soon

Number is 2291

Yeah, Good point mate. The bass dates from 91 and was a gigged bass from what i was told. There really is no way of telling if it is a neck rejoin?. The guy i bought the bass from confirmed that ;) . If it turns out it was a neck join its a bloody good one as its solid as a rock ;-) But, i really don't think it is as the split does not go over the front of the bass headstock (If that makes any sense) Think £600 is a fair price for a Tobias Basic and the small price tag reflects the condition.

Think i have made it clear if anyone wants the bass it is not in 100% perfect condition but plays great and looks Great. Hell, I would even take [color="#000000"][b]£550[/b]!! [/color]for it :-)

Thanks for looking will good more photos up soon, i promise.

robert trujillo (Metallica) seems to like Tobias basses so who am i to argue haha

I'm not quite of Trujillo's standard or reputation (by far) but i have an early tobias and it's the best bass i've ever played.
