JohnFitzgerald Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 Anyone have / had one ? I had the use of a hired one last weekend. (flying my own bass there and back would have cost £130, this was £55 and was beautifully set up with fresh strings). I now want one and it seems they're quite rare. This had lace sensor pickups and Kubicki electronics. Made around 1990-92 I think, in the USA. Looked sort of like this.

thebassist Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 Real nice looking bass that. On subject of flying with your bass - I reckon I'll more than likely hire next time I travel - airport transportation costs are so expensive! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnFitzgerald Posted May 12, 2016 Author Share Posted May 12, 2016 I was £55 from Bauder Audio in Pennsylvania. That was delivered to the gig and I had it available to me for the three days of the festival. I took it out of the case on the first day, it played lovely, and I left it alone after that. I then grabbed it again at load in to warm it up in my hands, played the gig, then handed it back. I'll maybe contact Bauder and ask for a price to buy the thing.

fabbabass Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 I have one! The age is right on, it was when Kubicki was with Fender and the necks are 'his' as well as the electrics. The body is slightly scaled down and the bass is really comfortable. I was lucky enough to get the 5 string from a guy in Portugal and it has some fingernail marks down the neck (no clue how you make these). It's a blue, slightly burst metallic; great hardware too. They are rare for sure and a few folks who have played them and know of them appreciate just how good they were.......almost the first crop of Super Jazzes. Good luck with the hunt.

ahpook Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 (edited) It's a little like the Fender 'Cowpoke' Precision Special in a way - that had Kubiki-designed electronics and the body shape's not dissimilar to my eyes Like [url="http://s94.photobucket.com/user/bigtreebluesea/media/DSC05027b.jpg.html"]this'n[/url] Edited May 13, 2016 by ahpook Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
