The drop shoulder pickups and passive electronics seem right for serial number. Definitely a lower end model because of low amount of stringers but stunning example of his work with a cool color. Might have reverse P pups. You should be able to tell by the sound or with a paper clip. The 501...

I have four pre-Gibsons, three sixers & one five, and all of them have matching engraved serial number on the back of the headstock and in the battery compartment. Never seen a stamp before. Hard to tell from the head stock logo but all my sixers seem to match with the "T" slightly protruding...

YES! Figured wood tends to move more because of the changes in wood density. I found stabilizing the humidity help the most. My poor man method was to keep them in the case flat on the floor during the swings, with a humidor pack. The helped with the humidity swings of my AC working during the...

I feel you living in the Panhandle of Florida. The added swings in humidity seems to be the biggest impact and dependent on the neck wood. Before building my recent small herd, I play a single Status bass for 17 years because of the graphite neck. Every spring, all my wood bass necks would be...

LOL! I see it you: For Sale - Tobias Signature #659 Zebrawood Wenge Super sweet! You don't have a 6 string signature you want to part with?

This sweet 5 string signature showed up on Reverb: https://reverb.com/item/47973176-tobias-pre-gibson-signature-zebrawood-wenge-purple-heart It would be gone if it was a 6 string. Looking for a 6 string signature.

Thanks for the info, spot on! My Grand Chapman Stick is purple heart and it looks more like rosewood until I got Emmett to give it a setup and with a light sanding it brought out the purple. My #1018 Classic has the non drop shoulders and is 16.5 mm. Looking for 17.5 mm 6 string Pre-Gibson...

Just missed picking up this baby SOLD MINT! Tobias Signature 6 PRE Gibson! Curious, when there are non drop shoulder pickups, the spacing is 16.5mm for 6 strings? My 6 string fretless with these pickups is also 16.5mm. Maybe because the reverse P pickup poles spacing compared to the blades?

Beautiful!

What kind of case (ex. Anvil)? Does it come with a stand and or shoulder strap?

Agreed once you hear and feel the sound the weight is an after thought. Hard to beat bubinga wings, wenge tone plate with drop shoulder pickups.

Awesome playing and demo! Amazing tonal capabilities. Thanks!

String spacing? Sound clips or video?

If I hadn't just bought fellow TBer's Wal MK3 6 string... Been drooling over this baby for a couple a weeks on Reverb. Dumb question: Did Tobias ever make a 6 string Omega?

WOW! Stunning grain.
