Tobias basses have enjoyed a stellar reputation ever since the first one was built in early 1978. Thirty-plus years and countless instruments later, the quality and precision of a Tobias bass has only gotten better, and nowhere is it more evident than the new 2009 Limited Run Series Tobias Growler from Gibson USA. Starting with its solid swamp ash body, the new Tobias Growler is one of the most resonant basses ever made by Gibson USA. Swamp ash tonewood is characterized by huge, open pores and soft layers, which gives each new Growler a deep reverberation and fullness of sound across the entire frequency spectrum. The Growler’s tone is unique, and it’s hard to match. The highs are clear and bell-like. The mids are bold and pronounced. And the lows are strong and definite. The 34-inch scale length glued-in neck is made from pure maple with purple heart laminate for a creamy smooth feel and easy, comfortable playability. It also sports a totally adjustable “Quad Bass” truss rod, for complete control in making all neck adjustments. It is matched with a 24-fret rosewood fingerboard void of any inlay markers and no binding. Additionally, every 2009 Limited Run Series Tobias Growler receives the revolutionary Plek system setup – a computerized setup that accurately aligns each fret and intonates each string, leaving the bass as impeccably playable as possible. The Bartolini bridge pickup is a natural choice for the Growler, delivering the hearty lows, deep mids and quiet performance expected from a Bartolini bass pickup. Everything about the 2009 Limited Run Series Tobias Growler breathes excellence, and they won’t be around for long. Like all the guitars from this special series, only 350 will be produced and distributed. Each one will come with a black Tobias case and special Limited Run Series certificate of authenticity.
Personally I prefer the FR1620 to the DN500, it has a much classier body shape and, having played it, and incredibly thick and powerful tone and a great Wizard Maple neck with a Walnut fingerboard. The DN500 has a strange cutout where the rear strap button is situated which makes it look a bit BC Rich or something and I don’t really like the inlays so much, but that is just my opinion.
