Sadly, I have to move this beauty. I need cash, no trades please.

Walnut/Purpleheart Tobias Classic, #1948.
Immaculate condition - the absence of dings and scratches is amazing. This is the cleanest pre-Gibson Tobias I've ever seen.

Pau-fero fingerboard
17mm spacing
34" scale
Low B sounds like thunder.
Walnut/purpleheart neck
Walnut wings
Purpleheart top

Drop dead gorgeous, sweet sounding bass. Very rich fretless sound.
$3300 shipped.

More pics available by email.

Tobias craftsmanship at its finest! That one is a thing of true beauty.

The ONLY other one I've seen that can compare is the one made with Rose Of Mountain that pops up here every once in a while.
