On the fence on letting it go but here it is,, Tobias Classic 5 pre-Gibson serial number 1782 made in 1991.Its a Bubinga top with Alder back, Maple/purple heart neck,Pau-ferro board with rare mother of pearl face dots and Wenge tone plate which adds tremendous low-end punch!!
The Low end on this bass is like no other Tobias i have owned and i have owned 26.
The top looks like flamed Walnut but is actually Bubinga according to Mike Tobias.
Its very clean and comes with Original everything including hard case.
I have 3200 invested BUT will take a REASONABLE OFFER.
Will ship International.
Take a look,,

|  | Registered User | | Join Date: Nov 2008 Location: Charleston, SC | | | Another great looking Tobias from you basspro! I remember that Birdseye basic you put up a month or so ago, looked at thing every single day which did nothing to assuage the turmoil and Tobias GAS inside me. Good luck with the sale! |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Jul 2005 Location: Miami Fla | | | Thanks for the nice comments J.K the Basic was another great Tobias that went to a nice home.This Classic is another fine example of Mike early work that cant be duplicated and they will continue to go up in value as they are no longer made.
Pms,replied,,Still available...
