The asymmetric shape feels less bulky than standard bass necks for maximum hand comfort even when playing with 5 strings. Toby basses were among the first to feature an asymmetrical neck, a design in which the neck is thinner on the lower side than on the upper side. The unique Toby headstock features the iconic Toby logo and Deluxe Diecast machine heads with a 14:1 ratio. Like all Toby basses, the Toby Deluxe-V includes a hard maple neck with a Tobias Asymmetrical Neck profile, which is a bolt-on design with recessed bolts and washers for easy adjustments. The Toby Deluxe-V features a solid radiata body and a flush-mount low profile fully adjustable bridge. The combination of a low B and the Toby Deluxes Active Tonexpressor Bass Enhancement Control gives bassists the chance to break through into new dimensions on stage and in the studio at a price that any player can afford. And now for even greater sonic variety, the Toby Deluxe-V adds a 5th string tuned to low B. Toby basses have a focused, 'finished' sound that combines the punch of an upright bass with all the clear detail of an electric. The original Toby Bass was designed by Michael Tobias and featured the classic ergonomic body shape that bassists find so easy to play. And now, Epiphone and designer Michael Tobias team up again to put the Toby bass back on the cutting edge where it belongs with the Toby Deluxe-V. The original 'Toby' brought real innovation to modern bass players who were hungry for an instrument that could accommodate new styles and sounds.
