The Tobias Killer B Is a Killer Bass!
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.

The 5-string Tobias Killer B offers all the Tobias advantages to players who prefer a bolt-on neck. With a selection of tone woods for the body and the same famous MultiLam Asym neck design as the Tobias neck-thru models, the Killer B delivers clear, welldefined tone, unstoppable sustain and precise articulation.
