I have very mixed emotions about selling this bass. Serial #1900, Honduran Rosewood on Western Big Leaf Maple, Maple neck with Purple Heart stringers, Pau Ferro fingerboard. 34" scale, 24 frets, 18mm string spacing, neckthru.
This bass is awesome in every way. The reason I have put this up is because I just aquired #2027 (avatar). Mike Tobias is a world class luthier.
This is one of a kind and I doubt you will ever see one of these up for sale again. Ships in the original MTD hard case.
NO TRADES! $5500 plus actual shipping. USA only.
Bass is one year old and in pristine condition.

Edit: Never mind, found it. It's got that old Tobias vibe. Good luck selling it, I'm sure it was insanely expensive to get Mike to do a Neck through.
