Gluing the 34”-scale length neck to the body of the bass ensures an exact “wood-to-wood” contact, leaving no air space in the neck cavity to ensure maximum contact between the neck and body. Still another key feature of the Tobias Growler is the change from using a bolt-on neck to gluing it in place. Every fret is accurately aligned, and the bass is properly intonated, leaving the instrument “Plek’d” and amazingly playable. The Plek is a German-made, computer-controlled machine that carefully measures each fret, along with the fingerboard height under each string, and then automatically dresses each fret, eliminating string buzz and improving overall playability. The new, fully adjustable “Quad Bass” truss rod allows players to adjust the Growler’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 Growler’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.
