Official Tobias Club

[mark35mi]

Tobias Killer B that I have played for years and absolutely love it. #2350
Note the squarer horns than many that I have seen. Love this bass.

Love the wood knobs. Where did you get them?!?

I got em from a couple ebay stores, the EQ ones with dots are Walnut 6mm shaft knobs and the volume/blend knobs are Goncalo Alves 6mm shaft knobs.

Hello all,
I'd like to join this club, what do I do to get a number?
Its a '87 Classic 5 zebra top, wenge tone plate, alder wings, pau ferro board,
serial#633. The last of the 3 knob stacked configuration.
She made the brochure for that year.
Modified over the years, with an John East pre, and a Badass V bridge (I hated the Shaller it came with, those rolling saddles just robbed the transference of the string to the body...IMO.)
I also have a Basic 6 (same year) that I will load up pictures of soon when she comes back from the shop...
- Thanks

Anyone? Anyone? Buller? Buller?

Your number is your basses serial number, so what is it?

Sorry Evilgus I don't know how this club works. I posted in the pre-gibson Tobias club too and got no response. As mentioned above its #633. Thank you for responding. I was starting to feel like a leper...

It's a pretty dead club thread TBH, the OP is not on often if at all, and there isn't a whole lot going on with Tobias these days so it's a bit empty in here =D

I assumed since the OP wasn't around that there weren't going to be any more numbers until he comes back

 

[Lo6man]

Ah, I see. Thanks Basstovsky!

 

[Basstovsky]

No Problem, the thread was dead for 2 months before I posted with my new (old) Killer B, so I didn't expect much from the thread

I'm always watching for new pics of my favourite basses, so it doesn't take long for me to chime in!

[Basstovsky]

Never has a bass had a model name so appropriate

 

[Lo6man]

Nice sounding bass, and playing basstovsky

Nice!

The Tobias threads are fairly quiet; but, there are still some loyal players, myself included. I posted on page 1 of the thread; but, here's another picture. This is actually my main 5 string these days. Tone, Tone, Tone.

That's a nice Signature. What kind of top is that? Goncola alves? Nice Wenge neck with stringers of Purple heart and Wenge.

Correct on all counts except the neck is walnut.
