Description
A 4-string bass with articulate mids and sweet high tones.
The Tobias Classic IV bass redefines craftsmanship and tonal sophistication, offering bassists a seamless blend of premium materials and advanced engineering. Its neck-through-body design features a stunning combination of hard maple and purpleheart, ensuring unparalleled sustain and stability. Complemented by body wings crafted from walnut and wenge with a quilted maple cap, this bass delivers a rich, resonant foundation with striking aesthetics. The 34" scale and wenge fingerboard with 24 jumbo frets provide effortless playability, while the Tobias Asym profile neck ensures a comfortable grip. Designed for uncompromising performance, this bass is equipped with high-end components like Gotoh tuners and a Babicz bridge for precision and reliability.
Bartolini Pickups for Unmatched Clarity
The Tobias Classic IV is equipped with active Bartolini humbuckers, engineered to deliver exceptional clarity and balance across the frequency spectrum. These pickups produce articulate lows, punchy mids, and shimmering highs, making it effortless to dial in your ideal tone. The onboard 18V preamp ensures dynamic responsiveness, giving bassists complete tonal control for live performances or studio recordings. Paired with intuitive controls for Volume, Bass, Mid, Treble, and Blend—as well as a Mid Frequency switch—this configuration allows precise sculpting of your sound. The result is a bass that delivers clarity and depth, even in the most demanding musical situations.
Babicz Bridge for Enhanced Sustain
This bass features the Babicz FCHZ4GD bridge, a design renowned for its exceptional stability and tonal enhancement. The bridge's innovative Full Contact Hardware system optimizes string-to-body connection, ensuring maximum resonance and sustain. Precise intonation adjustments allow players to fine-tune their setup for perfect pitch across the fretboard. The lightweight construction enhances the instrument's balance, while gold plating provides a sleek visual complement to the high-end tonewoods. Together, these features make the Tobias Classic IV a reliable choice for bassists seeking consistent performance and enduring tonal richness during sessions or gigs.
Walnut, Wenge, Quilted Maple and Purpleheart Make the Perfect Combination of Tonewoods
The Tobias Classic IV's choice of tonewoods ensures both tonal richness and structural durability. Its multi-layer construction includes walnut and wenge body wings topped with a quilted maple cap for added resonance and visual appeal. The 5-piece neck-through design, crafted from hard maple and purpleheart, offers superior stability and enhances sustain. A wenge fingerboard with a bone nut provides smooth playability and consistent tone, while the gold knurled knobs and Gotoh tuners ensure reliable performance under demanding conditions. This meticulous attention to materials makes the bass a standout instrument for players prioritizing tonal integrity and long-term reliability.
