Tobias Killer B 5 string

I have a Tobias Killer B 5, and have had it for YEARS!!!
Are serial numbers in the 2300's pre gibson?!?
Just Curious. Love it regardless.
I have small hands.... so being narrower near the nut is great, yet widens nicely towards the bridge for reaching to slap and snap a bit. The Bart's are great as well!
Thanks!

The ONLY toby I've ever owned. I live in LA in 92 and bought a Killer B. BIG regret selling that. There is a guy in Portland Or who has a old one. Only one I've seen since.

I could easily be mistaken, but I didn't think any of the Killer Bs were pre-Gibson. Here's what a 30-second Google search turned up:

Tobias basses, who knows about 'em?

Thanks superjesus. From what I read it appears mine is a Nashville Gibson bass. Good to know. Thanks again!

I bought a KB from Michael in person in Burbank.
