Good day everyone, I’ve come here for help on a Tobias Basic 6. It comes with a black Wilkinson bridge and unfortunately, the string retainer to the G string broke off. I’ve already contacted Mike Tobias and as always, was very helpful. But the options he suggested are no longer manufactured...

“Keepers” by Casiopea. Saw them play live back in 88 and after that concert decided to take the bass seriously. Tetsuo Sakurai played a Yamaha TRB 6; first time I saw such thing as a 6-string bass. It changed my life forever.

Thank you very much. I’ll keep myself around in case someone posts something. By the way, could you tell pretty much which year it might be?

Hi everyone. Haven’t been here for a while. Not part of the club yet despite owning an MTD 535-24 and a Pre-Nashville Tobias Basic 6. I’m gathering some info regarding a Classic 5, SN 3136. Has any of you ever owned it? Any help will be highly appreciated. Happy Easter everyone!

Twelve basses, twelve different reasons.

I do. I own a 78 Jazz Bass and I like the Macus' look. Also, it helps me to anchor my thumb onto.

Hmmm... Got confused. Are Ex Factor(post-Fender)Kubickis,Pre-Gibson Standard Tobiases and Fabregues basses considered "boutique instruments?"

Terrible news! RIP and thank you for putting the Stingray bass on my way and all your great lessons. Today at rehearsal I'll stomp to you.

Used to be a full time musician Back in the day. Just a hobbyist nowadays. I moved countries and I do something totally different for a living. No regrets, though.

Hi there! Not the car guy here either, as some have written before. I prefer basses. For a ride, my 2008 VW Golf Variant is all I need. My gear fits perfectly plus one passenger.

Hi there. I'm looking for something like this one. Just what I've been looking for . I'm located in Poland. Price?

I was at Fabregues Basses many times back in the day when he was building my six-string beauty. He's a super guy and very truthful. Also I was at Mayones Basses in Poland last year. The staff there is really cool and walk you through whatever model is there displayed. Last but not least, Nexus...
