Tobias Classic IV 4-String Bass w/ Bartolina Pickups and Gig Bag - Natural

Beautifully crafted basses built to meet the needs of modern players

The bass world has been clamoring for the return of the authentic, high-end Tobias basses, and now, Tobias is back! Combining the look and tone of the finest exotic tonewoods, such as quilted maple, royal paulownia, purpleheart, sapele, walnut, ebony, and wenge, with the feel of the famous Tobias Asym asymmetrical neck and the eye-catching shapes of the perfectly balanced contoured bodies, Tobias basses are attractive in look and exceptional in playing feel. However, their sonic versatility is what makes them so well suited to the needs of modern bassists. The superior tone from the exotic hardwoods,
premium hardware, and active Bartolini pickups and preamps results in basses with the tonal flexibility that today’s players require. Don’t settle for less than a bass that delivers everything you want and need – the look, the feel, and the sound. Tobias.


The return of a Classic

Reintroducing the Tobias Classic IV. Tobias basses deliver exceptional clarity in the low end, punchy, articulate midrange, and sweetness in the high frequencies. Uncompromising performance and tone are what the Tobias Classic IV is all about. Crafted from the finest tonewoods, the Classic IV features a 34" scale, 5-piece stringer neck through-body made from hard maple and purpleheart, and 3-layer body wings made from walnut, wenge, and capped with a highly figured quilted maple cap. The neck has a wenge fretboard and 24 jumbo frets, a bone nut, the easy-playing Tobias Asym profile, and is equipped with Gotoh tuners. A Babicz bridge ensures exceptional action and intonation adjustability. Two active Bartolini humbucking pickups, an 18V preamp, and Volume, Bass, Mid, Treble, and Blend controls, along with a Mid Frequency switch, provide all the control you need to dial up your ideal bass tone. A Tobias premium gig bag is also included.
