[FS/FT] Tobias Killer B 5 String Bass

Sign in to disble this ad
Hi everyone,

I am posting a feeler for my beloved Tobias Killer B 5 String Bass. This has been my baby for awhile but I need to let this one go as I am looking for a different sound.

The bass plays and sounds amazing. It is in excellent condition, minus a ~1cm blemish on the side of the bass (see picture). The blemish is virtually unnoticeable. The bass also comes in a pictured hardshell case.


Pics here,

I originally purchased the bass for $1500 but I would like to pass on the bass for $950 shipped. Also I will entertain reasonable offers, so feel free to PM me with an offer.

Also if you want to trade MusicMan Stingray 5 w/wo Piezo, I am willing to pay little more cash on top of my bass. Please let me know.

I will only accept paypal transactions.

Thank you for checking out the post.

Good Monday morning!! I decided last night that I am going to make a purchase on my new bass very soon (Today or Tomorrow). Meaning this bass needs to go ASAP. I would like to sell it on TB but if not this will go on Ebay. In addition, I decided to do a price bump $950 Shipped. Thanks

Received some nice offers but still waiting for that right one. Anyways, I decided to hold off on the purchase of my next bass until this one is out of my hand. Also to knock two birds with one transactions, I am willing to trade this bass with some cash on top for the right MusicMan Stingray 5 w/wo Piezo.
