Gibson Tobias Killer B V

Jakeyyy 31.05.2025

Owned the Tobias Killer B V for a week now.. I love the playerbility and the construction. The sapele body is solid and the neck is well made. No sharp edges and dead spots on the frets. The truss rod is a 2 way and works really well..I got a low action with no buzz on any of the frets. It also come with the Bartolini NTMB+FL which I love because the treble frequency is centered at 6.5khz. However, Strings spacing is 17.5mm not 19mm. Also, I had a bit of an issue with the pickups.. they were too mid heavy which is good for finger style playing. However, I couldn't get a decent slap tone on it especially on the D string. It sounded dead even after changing to labella strings. I initially rewired them in parallel but sounded the same with a great loss of output. The pickup resistance is around 5
2k in series for the bridge pickup and 4.2k for the neck pickup. I had to rewire them in single coil mode using outer coils to get a decent slap tone... thankfully, the bartolini preamp has a trim pot to boost the gain.. that helped boost the low output pickup in single coil mode.. so far.. I'm enjoying it now..

Einzige Enttäuschung

Basszoing 31.03.2025

Da fehlen einem die Worte. Der Hals war komplett verzogen und somit war der Bass unbespielbar. Das Batteriefach bzw. Der Deckel hat sich gewölbt.
Das hat nichts mit Tobias zu tun. Wo ist da die Qualitätskontrolle ?
