#27 - 05/16/09 12:34 PM Wanted: Older, inexpensive Tobias Wood Grain 4 str
Chris member Registered: 03/02/09 Posts: 188	Does anyone out there know where I can find a relatively inexpensive, used, Tobias 4 string wood grained bass? I would love to have a bass in my home recording studio and I remember playing one of these years ago. I don't want to spend a lot, so I'm looking in the $100-$200 range. Doesn't need to be anything fancy.

This way, if there was a problem, he could go back to the seller. I also know of a few people who have looked through the classifieds of their local newspapers and had luck.

luvssound newbie Registered: 05/15/09 Posts: 30	No problem, Chris. I have purchased some fairly big ticket items on Ebay and had good luck. I tend to only bid from sellers that have a stellar reputation. I am sure you know all that, blah blah blah, but we have to be so careful with our money. I think that a musician selling a prized possession will not be any problem. Good luck.

ShackMan addict Registered: 03/14/09 Posts: 561 Loc: Pittsburgh Area	A 4-string Tobias bass for $200? Good luck buddy. Those things are easily around $1500 and up even used. I think the Basic model starts around $2200 new. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong or if I'm thinking of a different brand... but... http://bass-guitars.musiciansfriend.com/product/Tobias-Killer-B-4String-Bass?sku=513256 Okay, so that's the cheapest Tobias I could find new. Figure around $800 used at a good price. _________________________ Music Gear Review - Keyboard/MIDI and Songwriting Editor/Mod "I don't like it, and I'm sorry I ever had anything to do with it." - Erwin Schrodinger, on Quantum Physics Keys: Nord Stage 88, Nord Lead 2, Yamaha W7 Upton Bass Custom Upright, BSX Allegro EUB, '80s Peavey T-40, MIM Active Jazz Bass, Godin BG-5, Fender Bassman 100, `68 Fender Bassman 50 head, Gallien-Krueger Fusion 550, SWR (pre-Fender) Goliath III 4x10, Markbass 2x10 Traveler

The BXP series is pretty awesome and they do neck-through basses as well. A solid used one could go for around $200 or so in good condition. You could even upgrade the electronics to the same Bartolini's that Tobias puts in his basses.

jillian newbie Registered: 05/14/09 Posts: 30	My guess is that anyone getting rid of a Tobias for around $200 either really needs the money or has no idea what they have.
