WTT: Tobias Growler 5 for Variax 5 or Stealth

Sign in to disble this ad
I've been gone a looong time, at least in TB time. 7 months, in fact. Had a bunch of life-altering things go down, and in the meantime forgot about this site. Between relationships/work/band stuff, I more or less forgot about the internet, to tell you the truth...

(So if I owe you money or anything, let me know)

Until I decided I wanted to get a Variax 705 to go with my Bass Pod XT Live...

So I'm back, and back with a need. GAS has struck for the first time in many months, and here's the trade bait:

(Sorry about the pics, I can't find my decent camera so they're all from the cell phone)

2007 Tobias Growler 5 string, with (slightly beat-up) OHSC.





There is a blemish, right where you'd rest your thumb, if you were so inclined to rest your thumb on the pickup. Best picture I could get:



Bass is an 8/10, IMO - Bart MM pup, 18V preamp (3 band EQ), great "growly" sound, but kind of a one-trick pony in that respect, and I prefer my Corvette to this bass. Playability is right up there with anything I've played, action set high (the way I like it) but can go much lower without a problem.

I'm looking for, ideally, a good condition Line 6 Variax 705, preferably in sunburst, but black's not a deal-breaker.

Alternatively, a stealth Musicman 5 (or similar bass) would be hard for me to turn down.

Gotta be 5 strings, 34" scale preferred, and if it's not Variax or stealth, I'm probably not interested. Don't wanna lay out any cash, as that situation still hasn't evened out, so throw your trade offers my way for a straight-up swap. **EDIT** Also Dingwall Combustion, if that sounds like a reasonable trade.

**EDIT** After a few PMs asking for an outright sale price, and after looking around in the TB forums to get an idea of price, I'm gonna ask $750 in OHSC with strap shipped CONUS via FedEx. Paypal preferred.

Thanks for looking, and you'll be seeing me around here a lot more.

Bathroom scale says 7.8lbs, but I doubt the accuracy of the scale. I would say it's definitely under 10lbs, probably closer to 9.

I'll get batteries for the scale tomorrow and get a better reading.

So two different scales both say 7.8lbs. I come in at a nice 186, and with bass in hand the scale says 193.8, so the math is there...

So bump for Friday night without a gig... but with a 7.8lb bass.

Anyone?

After talking with the band, I've decided to change up my rig, and am no longer looking for a Variax.

Stingray 5's, Bongo 5's, even Sterling 5's with a couple of bucks thrown in at your end are all options.

Got a few offers on the table, and a CL ad up locally. Still looking for just the right thing.
