Tobias Killer B 5 - ?String spacing?

Hi Guys!!!

I searched a lot on the web…and also on Talkabass treads…but I didn’t find any accurate information…

So, I’m going to buy a Tobias Killer-B 5 string, walnut body and bartolini P.Us

Anybody could tell me what is the string spacing about this model?...is new, not used…I think it should be a 2007 or 2008 model…

I read that the old model has 17.5 mm of string spacing and the new model has 19 mm…is this a correct information?

can it be regulated?

I wrote to Gibson customer service…but nobody answered…

Please help me!

P.S.
Excuse my English!

EDIT:

The European Gibson Customer Service response a few minutes ago…
The string spacing on a Tobias Killer B 5 is 18mm,

This is what the email says:

“For the string spacing of a Killer B 5 string: this is 18 millimeters.

String spacing is measured at the bridge. It is the distance from center of string to center of string (when saddles are centered).
You can however adjust the saddles.”

this is my favourite string spacing! Lucky! :)
