Tobias History:

The Gibson Buyout
"Gibson was instrumental in moving us to a bigger shop in Burbank and setting us up with a great spray booth and dust collection system. Basses built during the 1990-1992 era were built by the same crew that had helped establish Tobias Basses, as one of the most sought after basses on the planet. We added several people during 1990 and ended up with a great 10-man shop.”
- Michael Tobias

In early 1990, Gibson provided the resources and facilities necessary to satisfy the demand and continued production of Tobias Guitars. While the business prospered, the growing need for Tobias instruments remained a challenge. Tobias Guitars sought the help of outside Vendors, creating models such as the “Model T” and “The Standard" basses. By late 1992, in the interest of the corporation, Tobias Guitars relocated to Nashville— a move that after much deliberation, the original Tobias crew did not follow.

Despite Gibson's ownership of Tobias Guitars, all basses created up until the last Los Angeles Tobias/Gibson bass (serial number 2044) were hand built by the original Tobias team. While Michael Tobias left Tobias Guitars until the end of December, 1992, Michael Tobias served as a consultant for Gibson during the early stages of Tobias Nashville operations, the first production of instruments from Tobias Guitars in Nashville consisted of around 60 basses that were neither numbered nor completed by any member of the Los Angeles Tobias Guitars team.
