NBD - 8-STRING TOBIAS!!!!

[GodsLove66]

Did you post this bass in a Facebook bass group recently? I swear I saw it, but can't find it (and I should be working!) I remember being like, "Tobias made an 8-string?" Cool to see it!

Yup! Posted it on the big Bass group on Facebook as well.

The other week someone here may have purchased the other half of the original instrument

Wow, I love it! I've never seen or heard of an 8 string Tobias before!

So cool - I am so glad I have an 8-string myself or I'd be pretty dang jealous! Is it active? Looking forward to your report!

Passive! It is an interesting beast to say the least! The neck is DEFINITELY a Tobias neck! The profile is sort of like half a heart, thicker on the E-A side and thinner on D-G!!! And it definitely has that 90s Soapbar pickup sound! which is, ironically, not much of my thing, but it will serve it's purpose.

Greedy! BOTH halves??? ( very cool )

Obligatory shot with my friends Rickenbacker 8 string resto-modded to be like Chris Squire’s while it’s in my custody.

No just this alleged upper half.

I want that outfit Jon Anderson (?) is wearing in the background. I would pay top dollar.

EXTRA Angelic that tour, I must say.
