What model is this?

Hi guys. . .

I'm new to the forum and thought this might be the best place to get some needed help.

I have a total of 4 Tobias bass guitars ranging from 4 to 6 string I'm trying to get rid of that belonged to my deceased brother since I do not know how to play. I recently was asked if I was interested in selling the Tobias 6 string bass but don't have a clue as to the year, model or asking price. They were purchased somewhere between 2000-2005+.

The name and serial #6911 is all I currently have to go by. If you would be so kind as to fill me in on the exact info, specs and estimated price on today's market I would surely appreciate your help

Here are some pics:











Sorry if the pics are too big lol. . . by bad

You have to be a supporting member to ask what a bass is worth so you can sell it.

You could ask Michael

Or you could continue your brother's legacy and learn to play yourself. That's a nice bass, I'm sure the others are equally as nice. Keep at least one and see how you like it. Just my $.02

Thanks for writing but I cannot help you. My last serial number was 2044. Your bass was produced several years after I left. I cannot give you any good idea of the value.

Thanks for the kind words Silver. The others are in EPIC condition. I plan on keeping one of the 5 strings, maybe I can learn to play if I stay at it

Search the classifieds here for Tobias and you'll get a good ballpark idea of their worth. Or, search Ebay's completed listings for any Tobias basses.
