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.

Jaco Marcus Miller Rocco Prestia Flea Stuart Hamm Bernard Edwards Tetsuo Sakurai John Patitucci.

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...

Well, I'd go for: -Vail Johnson's candy red Kubicki Factor. - Louis Johnson's pre Ernie Ball Stingray. (The one on his instructional video). - John Patitucci's Ken Smith. - Flea's Modulus 5 string (silver flake) - Tetsuo Sakurai's Yamaha TRB 6 - Maurice Fitzgerald's Peavey Cirrus.

The Ex-Factor was the bass I first fell in love with when I began playing the instrument. Throughout so many years just dreamed of having one. I owned a Key Factor 5 at one point and I do own a Ex-Factor made by him for me in 2005. Never talked to him, only e-mailing (long story). But...

Now, that's good news! Gotta say that the tone of this instrument inspired me big time back in the late 80s while listening to guys such as Stu Hamm or Vail Johnson. Always dreamed of having one of those. Years later my dream became true and owned a Key Factor 5 and now I am a proud owner of an...

Done.

Thanks, man! I really appreciate your valuable input.:bassist:

Thanks you guys for your input. Noonan768 mentioned that some friends of yours own an MTD Kingston AG. Is the sound of it similar to a MTD KZ6? This is what I am looking for in terms of sound: Purpose By Design medley (shed) - YouTube Thanks once again. M

Good Afternoon to all! I do not post so often because so far I've been able to find all the info needed thanks to your posts and threads. Although this time seems to be nothing about one of the basses in topic and I will appreciate any piece of advice given. Right now I am making up my...

Hi there! I'm kinda new around here. Got a question, though. If you guys had to decide between buying a 60's Classic or a Road Worn, which would you go for? I mean, no comments about the price tag, but...as far as I know, both have different finish laquer. Is the sound really that different? Any...

Hi there! I'd really like to get your bass...but I live kinda far. Would you ship it to Poland? This is the bass I'm looking for and the price is within my budget. Drop me a note! Peace!

Well, I've owned about 3 six-string basses in my life...and for me is my Custom-made Fabregues 6. Probably you've never heard of them and I wonder if they're still be made. Got it in Puerto Rico about 11 from Pepe Fabregues.

Hi there! I just joined this forum because I really need your expert advice: I own a '78 Fender Jazz Bass which I got with EMG's on it. The battery is attached to the lower side of the body, so luckely there was no wood sacrifice. Anyways, the bass sounds really well; no hum or noise and good...
