This is a consignment piece at our store. Any offers will have to be presented to the owner.
Condition is excellent for a bass of this age. A repair to the back of the headstock was done in the mid to late 80's. Possibly by Mike Tobias at his shop. The crack has been stable for over 20 years going on 30 years. It was a minor crack, never through the headstock.
This bass represents an early use of a Phenolic Fingerboard
We communicated with Mike Tobias regarding this Bass. Some things he was able to confirm, others he could not remember after all this time. The owner of the Bass told us Mike did the repair on the back of the headstock. Mike does not remember that, but says it's possible, as both customer and Mike were in California at the time.
The original dealer M.A.E. (Music Arts Enterprises) was in Fort Lauderdale Florida, which is where our customer bought it. He is the original owner.
Hi! Do you guys still have to Tobias bass?
Hi! Yes, we do!
I've decided to convert my Tobias' electronics control from a 3 knob configuration to a 5 knob configuration. I was hoping someone could help me out.
I would like to drill the holes in the correct place, but I don't have another Tobias bass to reference were they go exactly.
I was hoping someone could make and mail me a small template out of paper or cardboard based on their bass that I could used. I just need something with the hole punched in their proper location.
Can you help me please?
