Tobias Bass

This bass has AMAZING sound for it's price. It is especially great for slap bass, as it has a warm treble tone, but is also great for any other style of playing. The only downside is its length, as it is very long,but overall, this bass is phenomenal!

Awesome

Very Very Versatile. I am glad my other bass is sooo heavy or I wouldn't have looked for anything different. The controls are placed well. Only complaint is access to the battery.

Robert Switches to the 5 string Toby before they play Sad But True, you can tell this by looking at the headstock and body of the bass at 12 minutes and 39 seconds into the video.
