Details

Up for sale, is a rare Tobias Eclipse 535w 5-string bass. Originally made in 1994, this is #30 of 50 basses made by Michael Tobias - not sure how many are still in circulation. I am the third owner of this gorgeous bass - got it on a trade with another tb'er back in 2012. This bass plays like a dream, and only has minor fret wear. In excellent condition except for a couple of small nicks near the bottom edge (highlighted in picture). Never gigged with. I really don't want to sell this beauty, but times are tough right now, and bills are stacking up.

If this doesn't sell within the next couple of weeks, I'm taking it off the market. I love this bass, and it will most likely be impossible to get another Eclipse in this condition.
