I gotta let this go. Below is the description from previous owner. It’s a fantastic bass!
This one has the sought after older type TCT with an original and very
rare passive tone control usable in both active and passive mode like
e.g. A Fodera. It's a really flexable preamp very natural and organic
somehow, don't know why they make them like that anymore...
It has some light wear it has been played and some hairline cracks in
the clear coat but nothing that influences playing, frets have great
life action is set really low...
Additional news:
I had contact with Michael Tobias about this bass, as I got an email
that made me very curious on the original owner of this bass...
Turns out this bass was made for producer and bassist extraordinair
(mostly upright) Tim Emmons, you can google him he's done some really
impressive works in his career.
This particular bass has a thicker neck mimicking an upright feel
Michael told me, I don't get that really co's the neck is asymetrical
but the neck has more meat to it then others have also the body is
thicker, prolly the reason why the bass has this bigger fatter tone.
Specs
Alder body wings
Flame maple neck with purpleheart stringers
Pau ferro board
Dual truss rod
The neck has the asymetrical neckshape really comfortable even for a
sixer
34" scale
16,5 to 17mm spacing the bridge was hand carved and the space between
watch string is identical thats why there is change in the spacing from
sting to string. You might think it's kinda tight I did too but it's
actually really comfortable to play.
Bass weighs in at 5kg
Original brown tolex case
NO INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING.
