Price drop to $2500, the first 2500 takes this amazing beauty, this is a limited time price drop.
For Sale, Pre-Gibson vintage Tobias Fretless Six, I really hate to do this as you really don't see many of these fretless sixes around these days.... This bass is in great shape for its age, with no wear on the rosewood fingerboard. Not 100 percent sure on the nut and string spacing specs, I think they were all 18mm, I am the original owner, I bought the bass back in the late 80's from Rudy's Music hear in NYC.
Its body wings are solid quilted maple with maple/bubinga center block, weights about 8.9 lbs and plays like a monster, this bass with the original Bartolini pickups and electronics can get an amazing jaco tone, to an unbelievable upright tone with both pickups on, and believe it or not, you can even slap on this bass if needed on a gig without having to change instruments.
I am looking to get a reasonable $2900 with original case, plus actual shipping. Paypal is ok. Serious inquires Please email or PM me for additional pics and info, I could even play the bass on a skype session if needed.

At this price I can't believe this beauty is still here, you really don't see many of these great vintage tobias instruments floating around for sale. |
