Hey all-
Been a while since I've been on here. Some recent financial hardships and an illness in the family have caused me to have to clean the remaining 3 basses from my once bountiful collection. I'll get better pics up my next day off, but for now hope these'll do!
First up is a 1997 Tobias Growler. This is my main bass, and it is a killer. It's in dead mint condition, with Tobias' wacky electronics setup with a Bartolini humbucker. Otherwise, ash body, maple neck with a mahogany (?) skunk stripe and wenge fretboard (not to mention that killer Tobias profile), and hand painted Tobias logo. According to Gibson, based on the serial # it was built in Trumann Arkansas in 1997. I bought it new old stock in 2003, and the story goes that it sat in the stockroom of a shop for most of that 6 years. It's a killer bass, and I hope it can find a good home.
Asking price is
$750 shipped in a hard case.
Next up is a 1981 Dean Hollywood Z, made in the USA. I'll be honest, it's a bit of a project, but I think the price reflects that. It's got some action/fretting issues, but is loaded with a pair of 81 Dimarzios that might make it worth the price on its own. 3 way pickup selector switch, volume and tone. If you've been looking for an Explorer style bass, this is a great look and with a little TLC could be a metal machine.
Looking for
$250 OBO shipped. No case on this one, sorry.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions. As I said I'll have a better set of pics up soon, and to assure you all I'm a decent guy, check my 100% positive eBay feedback here:

Thanks for looking, and hope people can help me out financially, and get a great bass (or 3!
) in the process!

EDITED TO ADD: If anyone has any interest in a Dean Czech Cadillac or a SUPER RARE '81-82 BC Rico Acoustic, shoot me a PM. Just figured I'd keep the non-basses out of here.
