Setting the Standard for Modern Bassists - The Tobias Growler IV 4-String Bass in Satin Natural

Well-known for articulate, punchy midrange, smooth high-frequency response and well-defined low end, Tobias basses set the high-performance standard for modern bassists. The Growler IV has a 34" scale, 3-piece neck made from hard maple and purpleheart.

The neck has a 24-fret wenge fretboard that features the comfortable Tobias Asym’ neck profile for exceptional playability. Its well-balanced and ergonomically contoured body is made from paulownia, a highIy musical and lightweight tonewood. Tobias basses are equipped with high-end hardware, including a Babicz@ bridge and Gotoh@ tuners. The electronics are equally advanced, with a Bartolini@ active humbucking pickup and an expansive collection of tone-shaping controls that allow you to quickly dial in your ideal sound. A Tobias premium gig bag is also included.
