Just got my new/old tobias back from the luthier. wanted to see if I could improve the action from the 12th fret on down. The luthier had to shim the neck joint, but now she plays even more wonderfully. did I mention I love the tone of this bass? , oh yeah, only about X times.

Greetings,
Just found this thread. I'm trying to determine if my Killer-B 5 string is pre/post Gibson. I purchased it new in late 1993 or early 1994. My faulty memory seems to think the hang tag said Burbank, but if it was on the cusp of the sale I suppose that could go either way. Is the serial # a valid way to tell? And if so, where might I find that out? I've done a search but didn't find any definitive info.
Thanks,
Al

I emailed Gibson Cust Service with my Serial # and they gave me an approximate DOB in 1994.

The Tobias headstock has to be the best ever. I like it so much better than his new design on MTD instruments.

Thanks. I'll give that a try. I was under the impression that Gibson was always kind of "iffy" about their Serial #'s.

[Holdsg]

yeah, I have heard that as well, but worked for me.

Wow, great collection Markus! Say, are you ashamed of that fretless 5-string lurking in the background?

Nice! A bass that pretty deserves a better picture, though!

Of course you can keep your number, svoncampe! I don’t recall seeing anything in the Rules that says you can’t sell. Hey, life happens! But I think I’d sell my first born before I’d sell a bass as beautiful as that!
