FS Feeler Tobias Classic 6 Quilt maple

scubaduba · #1 07-30-2009, 01:40 PM

I have a pristine condition Gibson era Tobias Classic 6. See pictures below. There really are no imperfections other than possibly a couple very, very small shallow concave "dents". Instrument has been kept in its Tobias case always. Never dropped. Very well cared for.

I really do like the instrument and am only considering parting with it for two reasons. 1) I just don't really need the 6 strings and 2) I'm just not playing enough right now to justify it. Other priorities in life right now.

Everything is in top condition, all electronics work as expected and are super quiet. Neck is great. Seams, bookmatching, mounts, fretboard are all very, very nice.

I'm thinking $2400 OBO.

There aren't many things that make my jaw drop -

But THIS.....

Best of luck with this - someone will be very happy with it.

My stable is full at the present time.

I should have included information on the electronics.

18 volt bartolini preamp
Bartolini pups
Bass boost and cut
Mid boost and cut with mid-cut boost switch
Treble boost and cut
pickup pan-pot
Push/pull slap eq on volume knob

Very versatile config possibilities.

Woods are quilted maple - Wenge - Walnut with purple heart.

34" scale with 24 frets.

Comes with Tobias hardshell case in excellent condition.

I may be interested in a trade for a 5 string instrument.

What's the string spacking at the bridge?
Thanks

I don't have a mm measure handy but it is 11/16ths of an inch which I think translates to 18mm.

All PM's replied to. I have one trade I am seriously considering.

That Bass really wants to come live with me and my other 6 strings - listen carefully and you will hear it tell you so

So many nice Basses so little time.

There might be a vibe.... what's the offer?

Looks like a potential trade arrangement fell through so bass is still available.

scubaduba · #13 08-06-2009, 08:30 PM

I'm really bummed the trade didn't work out. Anybody else have an offer or trade?

Guess you're not interested.

Good luck ... I'm sure someone will be a happy camper.

Is there a way to change the title of a thread? I'd like this thread to say FS/FT instead of just FS feeler...

scubaduba · #17 08-08-2009, 09:23 AM

Figured it out. I updated my original post and lowered the price.
