Why put roundwounds on a fretless? Isnt that defeating most of sonic benefits of a fretless bass? What about that "pwah" man? I tried a set of black nylon wrapped rotos, 115, 100, 75, 65... The strings were low tension, so easy to zip around on, very similar to a double bass... Amazing, but the...

Really? Wait a minute...what do u mean "it was out of tune?" So when you "fret the sharp" to the open string, its "e,a,d,g sharp?" How is a fretless' any different? I know that your shifting the fingering to where the Fret would LAY, but other than that?

I agree. Frets are impossible to miss...

Looks nice man. Sounds like a tight bass...I couldn't imagine a fretless with roundwound strings, but nice bass...

Beautiful. So what are u looking to get for it?

I know. I owned two Toby Pros, and they are amazing.

Beautiful T bird. So why are you selling it? Any neck or act issues? Does this 2012 have the coil taps? I'm in the market for a Ric or one of these... Are they Grover tuners? Love it? Let me know if u have it.

This bass is in super condition for it's age... Do u still have the paperwork? I'm looking for this exact Ric, and could drive to see it. I wish it had original tuners tho... Any scratches (deep or thru paint layer) on it's face? BEAUTY! what is the fretboard wood?

Today's MUSICYO Toby's are the same as any MUSICYO Toby, I guess is more accurate. Gibson sold the rights to MUSICYO company. I know all of this by trying to find a new neck for my tobias Growler, which is Gibson.

Is it like this one (sorry my face is in pics)? this is a Toby Pro 5 I had and sold. Since I've wanted another. Was going to go full Bartolini, but if ur selling, I wouldn't have to.

Hey man, if your selling it, can I see it?

The MUSICYO Toby's are NOT FROM the 90's, they are the latest and worst of what happened to Tobias basses. They are priced from $149 to $300 brand new, called "Toby Deluxe" and are, in no form or function a Tobias product. Starter basses are what they are. Buyer beware!

Sounds likel a Toby Pro? I've owned 2 Tobias Toby Pros, and every Korean Toby Pro I've ever seen was thru neck consruction with beautiful stringers, etc. I regret selling them for what I was lead to believe was a step up in purchasing a Tobias Growler, 5 knob version. It was a big mistake. These...

Oops dude...so 6 yrs later, I'm sure you eventually found out that the Growler (3 versions) has or had a crappy made neck, and was overpriced, and was nothing but a mid level epiphoEp with Mike Tobias' name on it? An overpriced, poorly slapped together bass with EXPENSIVE HARDWARE AND A...

Hi there. He is correct. It's a wenge fretboard and has a purple heart stringer. I have one too. WARNING! DO NOT PUT ANY LOW TENSION STRINGS ON THIS BASS, such as nylon coated flat rotos and large guage strings, because I can promise you that you'll end up with buzzing frets all over. This bass...
