About This Listing

As a bass player…I am a fan of Michael Tobias’ early production stuff. I actually own two 1 of a kind vintage Tobias basses personally. We just acquired this very cool & affordable mid-90’s USA made Tobias Growler bass. She’s got a pretty ash body & a very straight neck that plays like ‘butta. Slight play time but she’s a real good groovin bass. She’s a Gibson made 4 digit serial #’d bass & will be a great investment as they are done. My 2 basses are a 1986 4 string I had custom made new & a 1998 Gibson Custom Shop made 5 string. Both stunning 1 off’s. This Growler comes w/a copy of their factory owners manual. She’s excellent overall & comes w/a nice gig bag.
