Doddy Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Lovely Bass....But it's not Pre Gibson. Burbank era Tobias basses from Serial number 1094 onwards were made by Mike Tobias and his team,but under Gibson ownership,so technically it's not 'Pre Gibson' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this disturbes you, let us call it "Pré-Nashville" than, however, it is still handbuild by Mike Tobias and his team and didn't roll out of a Gibson factory.... and that is what it is all about....
