Toby Standard IV Epiphone Bass

In this particular case, the difference between a real Tobias or MTD and the Epi is slightly more than the name.

That said, I've played a couple and found them to be good playing and sounding basses, especially considering the money. I don't know if they're the best thing in the price range or not, but worth considering. I wouldn't trade my Tobias Basic for one though.
