Tobias Growler 5-String Electric Bass (with Case)

Don't be misled by the price! This 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.
