Clear, well-defined tone, unstoppable sustain and precise articulation. That is the best way to describe the Tobias Killer B. Featuring a five-piece asymmetrical neck, the Killer B was designed to offer Tobias performance and sound for those players who prefer a bolt-on bass you can buy.

Sound
I own a Tobias Basic. This is less money and sounds very close.
Features
Tobias is the best. Nothing is even close.
Quality
Outstanding
Value
Worth the money if you have it and are a Pro. If you don't need a Bass this expensive try a Yamaha TRB or any other Yamaha. I think if you are lerning how to play getting a cheeper Yamaha is the way to go.
Manufacturer Support
Gibson owns the company so I would asume they are professional to deal with. I called Tobias once and talked to a craftsman and he was cool.
The Wow Factor
It's perfect.
