3V17C Posted May 28, 2008 Posted May 28, 2008 not come across one of these before: [url="http://cgi.ebay.de/Bass-Collection-Ex-Factor-4-Bass-Kubicki-Copy_W0QQitemZ190224923378QQihZ009QQcategoryZ87492QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem"]http://cgi.ebay.de/Bass-Collection-Ex-Fact...1QQcmdZViewItem[/url] looks quite good in a way!! peace c Quote
warwickhunt Posted May 29, 2008 Posted May 29, 2008 (edited) Very odd! Can't quite formalise what I believe about it at the moment. Initially I wondered if it was a Kubicki but there are several features that are wrong inc' the headstock (IIRC). I also can't EVER recall seeing that bass in a Bass Collection catalogue or advertising; prototype... possibly 'OR' more likely nice bit of salesmanship to get you thinking you'd be getting a rarity and getting the bidding up. The paint is running on the edges and the finishing looks a bit shocking (ignoring the battering it's had) IMHO it's a bitsa put together by a hobbyist a few years ago who couldn't afford the real deal. Not the worst copy I've ever seen but I can't imagine it came out of a factory Edited May 29, 2008 by warwickhunt Quote
3V17C Posted May 29, 2008 Author Posted May 29, 2008 apparently, (i think it was on talkbass) this isn't the first sighting of one of these though which would suggest a factory run at some point? always fancied a kubicki....hmmmmmm peace c Quote
ped Posted May 29, 2008 Posted May 29, 2008 I was going to say the action looked nice and low but then I saw this pic: [url="http://www.wyrwas.de/E-Shop-Pics/BassCollectionFactor-08.jpg"]http://www.wyrwas.de/E-Shop-Pics/BassCollectionFactor-08.jpg[/url] Bit sneaky, in the fretboard shot they must have pressed them down?! Otherwise it looks pretty good! Quote
Ou7shined Posted May 30, 2008 Posted May 30, 2008 (edited) I wonder how they know about it's "expensive" sound, it's "unbelievable lo-end and silky highs" when it doesn't even have a [url="http://www.wyrwas.de/E-Shop-Pics/BassCollectionFactor-09.jpg"]jack socket[/url]?

warwickhunt Posted May 30, 2008 Posted May 30, 2008 It would need to be pretty well recessed wouldn't it! That particular image is the one where I thought the finishing looked particularly cr*ppy... but my attention was distracted from the lack of visible socket! Quote
