SPECIFICATIONS

Cutting Edge Design

The Toby Standard IV features a solid radiata body and a flush-mount, low profile, adjustable bridge. The Toby Standard’s most legendary feature is the Tobias™ Asymmetrical Neck profile which is a bolt-on design with recessed bolts and washers for easy adjustments. Tobias basses were among the first instruments to feature an asymmetrical neck, a design where the neck is thinner on the lower side than on the upper side. The asymmetric back shape feels less bulky than standard bass necks allowing for maximum hand comfort. While these Satin finished necks might "feel" thinner, there is still sufficient thickness on the upper side to provide for excellent strength, stability and --best of all--deep, rich tone. Your thumb will find easy reference points as your hand glides up and down the fretboard. The neck has a 34” scale length for enhanced clarity, a 12” fingerboard radius and a 1.68” nut. Color finish options include Alpine White and ebony.

Classic Electronics

The Toby Standard IV electronics feature classic Tobias-designed pickups with a Tobias TBR™ Dual Rail Humbucker in the neck and a Tobias TBT™ Dual Rail Humbucker at the bridge. Controls include a Master Volume, Pickup Blend with center Detent, Bass Cut, and Treble Cut.
