    Epiphone toby deluxe gets quite a number of bass guitar design ideas right

    So this is some musing regarding the toby bass design. Here's what I really like, and think were great choices: +Bolt on with washers instead of the plate, and with a really deep neck pocket for improved stability and great upper fret access +Nice and easy access to the truss rod that doesn't...

    Is this a pre-Gibson Toby?

    Local gentleman is selling what he claims is a "pre-Gibson Toby Standard" - not pro. He says bolt-on neck. Here's the snap he sent in response to my request. It looks a lot like an Epiphone Toby, but not quite: pot positions are different. 45 min of searching has turned up virtually no info...

    Toby iv active pot disconnected?

    I recently bought a used used toby and the active pot has been removed from the pick up circuit. The bass still produces sound. With out the battery and pot in circuit is it just a passive setup.

    Toby Standard IV Bass

    Bought used, and arrived today. Two things, the bass neck seems bigger than the IBANEZ GSR basses, it is more like my old P bass? Also the volume is quieter than my IBANEZ Mikro which seems odd, maybe there is an issue?

    Struggling with Setup on Toby IV..

    HI All, I've recently put my Toby IV back in rotation. I primarily use fretless, but my fusion project has a few songs that I'm going to apply some slap on, and this works better on frets. I pulled out my Toby IV (which has been pretty dormant for about a year) and am finding that I have a...
