    Pre-Gibson Tobias Owners Club!

    I feel like my ears aren't as sharp as others', so my descriptions often fall flat, but my 86' Tobias with the TCT has such a wide range it's hard to call it particularly anything. I can bump out thick, muted lows with a furry warmth or a brittle sharp ping that amplifies my fingers whipping...

    O.K. so I have to agree with the poster who said $4-$600 is a more realistic range than $800 for that bass... Maybe the 5 with perfect finish would command $550 or so, IMO. That said, the Korean Toby is a really cool bass. I played one for years before buying my pre-gib. The Toby neck and...

    With my three-knobber in the mix I'd say we have the beginnings of a new sub-forum!

    I'm interested to hear what you got installed here... any specs? I've contemplated putting something different into my Tobias but I have a model with three stacked pots, so there aren't obvious options for me (e.g. Pope doesn't make a setup that would work for me.) I have always felt like...

    When Did I Become Old? (Long Post)

    Maybe it's not what you're listening to but HOW you're listening to it. How we are MOVED by music as hormonal, emotive, sensitive teenagers makes it PART of us, not just some layer slapped on top or something bleeding in the background. If you GROOVE with it, you're not old because of the...

    Legit in what way? I'm not sure what you're asking. I have definitely seen some later Gibson models with painted finishes. It's definitely not a pre-Gib.

    Earthquaker Devices Westwood

    Lol I can relate, there are a few pedals I will never buy for equally silly reasons. The 3-Lead Audio "You're Doom" just rubbed me the wrong way because of the grammar. I guess it is a play on YOU'RE DOOMED! and YOU are the one doing the dooming... but it just creates so many cogs jamming in...

    Earthquaker Devices Westwood

    Update from post-practice. First off, I almost forgot that I have also owned a TAFM so add that one to my short list of experiences. . . In any case, this was the first time I used the Westwood, obviously, but also the first time I've heard the IdiotBox in a full band setting. Holy crap...

    So I got the Westwood yesterday and was able to play around with it this weekend. First off, I'll admit that I don't have a TON of experience with grit pedals, as I've only owned a BOSS ODB-3, a BLOWER BOX, and a RED WITCH ZEUS. Sum total of experiences. But there's a range there that I can...

    @dreamadream99 I'm member #145 here so I think the list you're showing isn't complete. I was inducted last year sometime (2017). EDIT: Unless there is a list for Official Tobias Club Members and there's a separate list for Pre-Gib members?
