FS: Gibson Tobias Classic 5 - Zebrawood/Wenge & Walnut

Sign in to disble this ad
I'm selling this classic because I want to get a Sadowsky 5 String...SOLD


Neck-thru construction and choice tonewoods give the Tobias Classic the sound that bass players seek but seldom find. Despite the extremely high-style look, this is a performing bass and made to be played. 3-layer wings are composed of zebrawood, wenge, and walnut. 7-piece dual truss rod, Asym neck fits the hand perfectly, plays naturally and effortlessly.

Buy this Bass....

Just in case some were wondering, though my feedback level here is Zero (0) I have a 100% positive feedback rating on eBay under the username daman4842. On eBay I have sold a Gibson Marauder Guitar, Ibanez Roadster Guitar, Ibanez Soundgear 5 String Bass, Tobias Basic 4, and Ken Smith BSR5JD. I came to TalkBass for obvious reasons... 1. you lose alot of money on eBay and PayPal and 2) I like the fact that you can mingle while others see your product.... Just looking into other options.

With that said, please someone take this beauty off my hands, make me an offer....

If I don't sell this one I can't get my F-Clef Custom...

Does the 1mm really make that much difference? I'm not that picky, I guess. I can adapt to any spacing, pretty much.

I know it seems silly, but yeah, 1 mm can make a difference sometimes. I can adjust but it's not completely comfortable. Muscle memory and all that...

Still, it's a beautiful instrument and a good price. Still want to deal?
