Hi! 
Selling my pop's base. It's a Tobias Signature 5, made around 1992-ish. Bubinga/Wenge/Bubinga with Wenge & Puprle heart veeneer neck.
(All documentation is included.)
Dad is the only owner and he played and toured with this base since it was new.

Has been cared for with all the love in the world over the years, not much for dings or dents but i guess it needs a polish.

Serial No: 1828

Asking 2500£ + shipping.
Item is located in Sweden.

Lovely bass, what scale is it, 34” or 35”?

I had one of these from the same era, bought circa 1990/91 from The Bass Centre when it was in Wapping, and it was a 34" scale neck IIRC.. 

Mine was a purple heart Classic 5 and it was the most resonant bass I've ever owned..

IMO, that era of Mike Tobias's work is when he produced some of the finest basses he has ever made - they're just wonderful instruments!

Thanks for the clarification Nik, it’s like an early Warwick a keeper IMO, shame it has to be sold.
