Early Tobias Growler 5 string

ethompson2 · #1 02-24-2010, 08:18 PM

I've got an early Gibson Tobias Growler serial # 4105... I'm not sure the year. I traded a Stingray for this a few weeks ago. My Lakland is getting here sooner then I expected so this needs to go. It's been a great bass with great tone and very versatile. Has a very comfortable asymetrical neck I can honestly say its one of if not the easiest basses to play I've played. I've played it 3 or 4 times at my church and the sound is definitly there, very Stingrayish but warmer and deeper. It's in good shape with no major wear. Comes with a pretty nice Tobias case as well.

$800 Shipped!!!

PM me if you have anymore questions or need anymore pics of this.

Thanks

Evan

I know the serial number is hard to read. I can try and get a better pic if anyone needs it... Also everything on this bass as far as the pickups and pots are in perfect working order there are no scratching sounds or anything when turning the knobs and they feel very tight.The wiring inside looks new as well. Has a fairly new set of ernie balls slinkies on it too

Looks wide?

I think that is just the pictures the spacing is actually pretty normal for a 5 string. I think its 16.5mm at the bridge.

ethompson2 · #8 02-25-2010, 07:31 AM

Yes I actually just checked really quick its right around the 16.5-17mm mark at the bridge
