A Neck-through Bass with Exceptional Character! Mike Tobias began making custom guitars and basses in his music store in Orlando, Florida, in 1977. His instruments featured innovations in every facet of bass design. Combinations of exotic tone woods gave bassists a wide range of natural tonalities to choose from, so that each instrument could be tailored for the individual player. Ergonomic improvements, such as the deeply sculpted body and the asymmetrical neck, enhanced the feeling that each bass was made to fit the individual player. Tobias relocated to California in 1980 and eventually settled in the Hollywood area. By 1990, with demand for Tobias basses growing far faster than production capability, Tobias joined the Gibson family of musical instruments. Gibson moved production to Nashville in 1992, and although Mike Tobias left the company, Gibson has continued to raise industry standards for design, quality and performance with Tobias basses, highlighted by the 2003 debut of a new generation of basses made in Conway, Arkansas. Don't let the beautiful, sleek and stylish look of this bass distract you. The Tobias Classic bass is built to perform. The Classic offers the widest range of tonal wood combinations to deliver everything from the clarity of the low end to the sweetness of the high end. The Tobias Classic is designed to fit a bassist's personality, with the widest range of tone woods of any Tobias model. The multiple combinations of body woods make every tonal nuance available - from low-end clarity to high-end sweetness - and also create an instrument that looks as beautiful as it sounds.
