Hey Y'all. Check this out. I don't know much about Tobias basses. Is this worth $600? It's here in Toronto.

Don't know a lot about Tobias's other than they're quality built basses, and $600.00 seems like a good price to me, as long as there are no issues regarding electronics, neck bow, etc.

This may be a 'Toby' Tobias, built in Korea. Might be a good bass- but it probably isn't a 3k U.S. made one.

That's exactly what it looks like. I sold one of these a couple of months ago here. There's a couple of these on ebay constantly, price is in the 500 ballpark for a new one.

That's good to know... so this bass could be considered on the high-end of it's value curve... it's always good to check with the experts here before spending hard-earned dough! :D

Heres one http://www.ebay.com/itm/Tobias-Toby-Pro ... 51a08afd52
Although with original electronics

One thing that the one you spotted has got going is the updated electronics: the original for this bass is quite bad. I upgraded mine with delano pick ups and active circuit before selling
