Tobias Classic 5 PRE-GIBSON 1989 Birdseye Maple/Walnut

Sign in to disble this ad
I am the 2nd owner of this 1989 All Original Tobias Classic 5 PRE-GIBSON made when Mike'and his talented group made them one-at a time!!!!
Serial number 881 reveals figured Birdseye maple top,Walnut back,Birdseye maple neck and rare Birdseye maple control cavity cover.
Its very clean with slight wear and a small ding on the side of the headstock,again nothing major.The bridge is fading which is normal for a bass of this age.Come with flight case. 2999 plus actual shipping,,NO TRADES!!

Take a look,,

Oh, man, that's a beauty! Reminds me of the one Jon Evans played with Tori Amos, probably very similar woods!

Would hate to think how much it would cost to ship it and the flight case to Sydney, probably half the cost of the bass...

Cheers,

EG

That means you should not sell it. Frankly, this bass is absolutely awesome. Unless you are broke I think you should hold on to it forever.

Wow, that's nice. Would you accept my first-born child, or perhaps my mortal soul, as trade bait?
