KILLER KILLERS

Tobias will make a maximum of 250 "1997 Limited Edition" Killer 'B's, with special gemstone colors, available through August 31. The LE Killers will have a mother-of-pearl pickguard, and will be available in three classic colors: Ruby, Emerald and Sapphire. Ruby LE Killers will have mahogany bodies. Emerald and Sapphire LE Killers will have maple bodies.

All of the LEs will have a synthetic gemstone to match their color in the top left corner of the headstock.

The basses will be individually numbered as they leave the factory. Once we hit #250, that's all we'll make.

And as a special deal for NAMM, Tobias dealers will be getting special prices from the factory on both the LE Killers and regular Killers.

PROTECTION FOR GROWLERS

For people who want a little more protection for their bass investment, Tobias now offers a hardshell case. Tobias dealers will be getting a special deal on Growlers ordered with cases instead of gig bags between now and August 31.

Other basses may look good now, but the Growler will look great FOREVER with this case! It's a terrific bonus for people who want their professional quality instrument to have an overall professional look!

STEINBERGERS IN LIVING COLOR

Buying Steinberger L series basses and guitars has always been a little like watching Star Trek on a black-and-white set. If it's the future, why is it still in black-and-white?

Well, as a special for NAMM '97 (until August 31), Steinberger is offering red or silver GLs and XLs as regular production models for the first time ever.

These instruments are the Lamborghinis of the music world--wild, sporty, high-tech guitars with fantastic response. And now they're available in colors to match the image.
