The new, fully adjustable вЂњQuad BassвЂќ truss rod allows players to adjust the GrowlerвЂ™s neck in both directions, a feature that integrates well with what is arguably its best overall enhancement - the revolutionary Plek system setup. First, Gibson improved the GrowlerвЂ™s truss rod by making it bi-directional. The new Tobias Growler features two key differences. Additional controls include the volume knob, and separate bass, mid and treble controls. A separate pickup-blend control lets you sweep between all four of its coils for unlimited tonal possibilities. The pickup is cast in epoxy to remove any unwanted feedback and microphonics. A quad-coil, 5-string bass pickup from Bartolini delivers an extended and more resonant frequency range, along with more air and definition at the top end without sacrificing its lows and low mids. The Tobias Growler gets its power from one of the best bass pickups in the business.

Each one comes with a black Gibson hardshell case and a special Limited Run Series certificate of authenticity. Like all the guitars from the Limited Run Series, only 350 will be produced and distributed.

Swamp ash tonewood is characterized by huge, open pores and soft layers, which give each new Growler a deep reverberation and fullness of sound across the entire frequency spectrum. Starting with its solid, multi-piece swamp ash body, the Tobias Growler is one of the most resonant basses ever made by Gibson USA. Thirty-plus years later, the quality and precision of a Tobias bass has reached new heights in the new 2009 Limited Run Series Tobias Growler from Gibson USA.

Started by famed luthier Michael Tobias in the mid вЂ™70s, Tobias basses have always found their way into the hands of world-renowned bassists like Bootsy Collins, Jimmy Haslip, Dave Pomeroy, Dave Baumberger, David Bonk, Dean Back, Mario Guini, Vernon Heard, Duane Propes, Kern Brantley, Del Atkins and Volley Craig.
