Fernando, give up the sickness,

keep one Smith and one Tobias, don't go through 250+ basses

like I have, only to go full circle multiple times getting the same things back every 6 months.

All Jedi's use one light saber, General Grevis used 4, but he had 4 mechanical arms. keep two basses, but remember Anakin lost one of his arms when fighting with two light sabers. So on second thought just keep one bass. Good Luck with your sell.

The force is great with this one.

Great line Eric,,Its a tough one like ypu said keep both but i just cant justify having 2 high end basses!!

The guys in the band prefer the tone of this Smith over the Tobias i like them both so lets see!!! And i have also gone through a bunch to always come back to the Smith and Tobias.

Fernando, who cares what the guys in the band prefer unless they are the ones paying you to play a specific bass with a specific sound. Why don't you tell the guitar players you prefer a Paul reed Smith though a 1969 Marshall half stack???? Do you think they would sell their gear over your preference?? I don't think so. Keep both basses. I had 4 Ken Smith B.T.'s at one time.
