mybass Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 [quote name='BASSISACE' post='441689' date='Mar 22 2009, 01:35 PM']Hello all He's a picture of my four Kubicki Ex-Factors. White '86, Red '88, Rock Maple Fretless '93, Black '08 All 6 position, 86 & 88 pre Fender, 93 & 08 post fender, all full Kubicki's I got the black 08 one last year direct from Phil himself brand new, about a years waiting in the queue. He's still on the go, producing these masterpieces one at a time, get your orders in. It's horses for courses, everyone has their perfect bass that suites them and Kubicki Ex-Factors have got to be mine. (along with my new Shuker JJB1) I know 4 four is greedy & depriving other people, but tuff....these things are the sooo good that I needed 4 !!! Enjoy, all the best BASSISACE[/quote] I remember trying one of these. Amazing multiple laminated maple neck. How many pieces of maple in a neck? They felt easy to play. Good to hear they are still made Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 I think 4 is too many...Gimme one of those Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NancyJohnson Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 I remember seeing John Taylor using a white one at Live Aid and thinking how beautiful it was. I'd pretty much forgotten about Kubicki basses. Lovely. P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve-soar Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 I've always liked the look of them. What does 6 position mean and what strings do they use, with the extender? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golchen Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 I loved Stu Hamm's sound from his 'Radio Free Albemuth' record, and was really interested in these. At the time I found the shape a bit too 'out there', but there days I'm liking it! Do they do a 5 string? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Brooks Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Splendid stuff...thank you for obliging! Particularly liking the natural fretless. Recently started using my two Kubickis again and still very pleasing to the ear. Just realised my fretless is 20 years old this year...where have the years gone?

MacDaddy Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 I used to have 2, one by Phil and one from the Fender custom shop. Lovely basses, always created a stir when I gigged . I gotta say though, the Fender one had better electronics and was tidier inside. Apart from the weight the only issue I had was that the lever that release the E string for the D, loses tension after a number of years and creates fret buzz all down the string. Have you experienced this? My custom build has the drop D but hopefully has rectified this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CyberBass Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 My main bass is my Kubicki in Black, love it to bits. And Phil is a fantastic guy, if you phone or telephone the company, it's always Phil that responds and really helpful. p.s. love your white one!

Mike Brooks Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Never had a problem with either extension key on my Kubicki's, one is 20 years old, the other 21, maybe yours has been used more. I'm sure Phil has a fix for this if there is a problem, just like he has for most things. Back in the days when the internet was an undiscovered gem to me (92/93) and Newsgroups were the way forward, I contacted Phil as I had a problem with my Fender/Kubicki neck and had read on a newsgroup on The Bottom Line that there were a batch of around 200 Fender Kubickis that were made in 1989 that weren't sealed properly. Lo and behold mine was one of those, rang Phil, he confirmed it, sent the neck off and he overhauled it, new fret job, slimmer neck as per my wishes, turned round in 4-6 weeks. Splendid chap.

steve Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 +1 on the white one - I think white basses with black hardware look fantastic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josh3184 Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 to me 4 of them together look nicer than one on its own (i dont really like them usually). How odd! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
