The Return of the Killer B
Reintroducing the Tobias Killer B IV. Tobias basses are renowned for their exceptional clarity, articulation, and tonal balance. Built from beautiful and exceptionally musical tonewoods, the Killer B IV features a 34" scale, 5-piece bolt-on 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 sapele, a highly musical and attractive-looking tonewood. Tobias basses are equipped with high-end hardware, including a Babicz® bridge and Gotoh® tuners. The electronics are equally advanced, with a pair of Bartolini® active humbucking pickups 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.
