Take This Growler to the Gig! 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 be misled by the price! The Growler may be the least expensive American made Tobias, but even the wealthiest players will want to add this bass to their arsenal. The swamp ash body and custom pre-amp/pickup designs provide tonal qualities that are unmatched in any price range. Upgrades include a brass ABM bridge, mother of pearl Tobias logo, improved Bartolini electronics and pickups, and simplified controls with solid brass knobs. Test the Growler with caution, because it will chase after you until you have your own.
