#PRE GIBSON TOBIAS SERIAL NUMBERS SERIAL NUMBERS#

Basses below the serial number 2044 were built in the California factory headed-up by Michael Tobias serial numbers after that were produced by Gibson with a transition period in which Tobias worked with Gibson and continued to produce basses. Michael Tobias left the company in 1992 to found Michael Tobias Design which produces a line of hand-made basses similar in spirit to the older Tobias basses. The first Tobias bass under Gibson ownership bore the serial number 1094. In 1990, Gibson Guitar Corporation purchased Tobias and moved production to Nashville. Sequence information on 240 nucleotides (map numbers 456 to 695) from each. The first serial number was 0178, instead of the usual 0001, as a reference to the month the first bass was completed, January 1978. A 240 nucleotide sequence from the pre-M gene region was selected for study. Tobias basses also were among the first to feature an asymmetrical neck, a design where the neck is thinner on the lower side than the upper. However, once purchased by Gibson in 1990, a few bolt-on models were produced such as the Killer-B (with the 'B' in the name standing for ' bolt-on') as well as the Growler Basses. The vast majority of Tobias instruments are of neck-through construction, a style of neck-body assembly where the neck of the instrument is a single piece of wood that extends through the body and had the sides of the bass glued to it rather than being bolted on. From 1975-1977 the number is typically found on a decal on the back of the headstock. Tobias Guitars was established in Orlando, Florida in April 1977. Gibson USA, Gibson Acoustic, Gibson Memphis.
