The Extended Range Classic V Returns
Reintroducing the Tobias Classic V. Tobias basses deliver exceptional clarity in the low end, punchy, articulate midrange, and sweetness in the high frequencies. Crafted from the finest tonewoods, the Classic V features a 34" scale, 3-piece neck made from hard maple and purpleheart. It has a 24-fret wenge fretboard and features the comfortable Tobias Asym™ neck profile for exceptional playability. The well-balanced and ergonomically contoured body is made from paulownia, a highly musical and lightweight tonewood. Tobias basses are equipped with high-end hardware, including a Babicz® bridge and Gotoh® tuners. The electronics are equally advanced, with a Bartolini® active humbucking pickup and an expansive collection of tone-shaping controls that allow you to quickly dial in your ideal sound. A Tobias premium gig bag is also included.
