Kubickiboy Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 I'm looking for any help on buying replacement Kubicki Ex-factor parts, in particular the bridge posts. For some unknown reason three of the bridge posts won't turn in the retainers, meaning I can only adjust the action on one string now. The others only go so far down then wedge themselves and don't go any lower. They can only then be taken out with a pair of pliers (not good). I've tried cleaning them, swapping them around, WD40 etc but to no avail. Is there anyone who could suggest where I could get new posts, or retainers, where I can get them fixed, or even a replacement bridge.... As you can see it's getting a bit desperate as this bass is unusable at the moment. Since the very sad death of Phil Kubicki earlier this year, it seems like this may prove difficult. Any help please. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kubickiboy Posted September 27, 2013 Author Share Posted September 27, 2013 And...bingo. Mike replied within minutes with very detailed instructions on how to go about fixing this. An adjustable spanner, a shim, and a bit of patience and we're back in business!! Thanks a million matski - you've helped to resurrect a brilliant bass. Very happy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kubickiboy Posted September 27, 2013 Author Share Posted September 27, 2013 There we go. Albeit I should have bought a longer set of strings as I forgot the E is 36" scale. Oh well 99% there!

soggs Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Hi would you know of anyone that wants to sell a ex factor, fender custom shop or original, I just can't seem to find one, I had one two years ago and wished I'd never sold it, cheers Soggs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matski Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 There are 2 on eBay at the moment - a black one and a white one. They are both in the US though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
