I reserve the right to change my mind on this, but I have a chance to pick up a fretless Zon TJ, about the only thing that could bump this bass from my stable.

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.
$3300 shipped.

More pics available by email.

If anyone asks why your pups have writing on them, I just sold a pre-gib with 'bartolini' written on them as well, Mike T said there were actually a bit of them.

Just saying, I had all sorts of people saying they weren't the original pups, you might run into that. Very nice bass!
