soggs Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 (edited) having to move on another cracking bass, as well as a great slapping bass, with its active and passive knob, this kicks ass, has its hall mark drop lever on the low E, maple neck, finished in metallic black, this thing never goes out of tune, I spoke to phil kubicki before I bought this bass as I had heard comments that there were differences between the fender custom and original kubicki's, phil suprised me explaining that apart from the six point active and passive knob, there was not a great deal different, I've also been informed that you could have the six point fitted anyway, these basses also seem few and far between in this country, check out harmonycentral reviews, its a really well built bass, looks great, quite a light bass good for gigging, have a look at you you tube see how they sound, vail johnson stu hamm, Edited July 8, 2009 by soggs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeS Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 I think it depends on what he's selling at the time. Nice bass btw, nothing says "Eighties" like a Kubicki. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RaNoFuNkY Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 Cracking bass sir! Gets the slapping thumbs up! I own a white one of these, and I would just like to add that whilst these basses go from an ideal slap/tap setup/sound, they also have the most beautiful warm end to them when you need it. A truly versatile, quality instrument. I would love to buy this and take the frets out, a la Stu Hamm on his "Outbound" record and have it along side my white one. Best of luck with the sale, can't recommend these enough B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TPJ Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 BOT Bump for a great bass. For some stupid reason I traded mine years ago. doh... As RNF states, a very versitile bass. Was my only bass on the cruise ships for years and you can do pretty much anything on them. hmmmm Where you located soggs? Any issues at all with this bass?

For the original Stuart Hamm fretless Ex-Factor, look to the cover of The Urge. Note that that fretless bass can also be heard on that album, on the song "if you're scared, stay home". I still get "nostalgic" about my old 1989 Ex-Factor (okay, I'll stop with the Stuart Hamm references! ) Edited July 3, 2008 by Chris2112 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
