Chris2112 Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 I had a white 1989 Ex Factor a couple of years ago. It had the CS stamp on it but still had the original preamp, which was amazing. Without a doubt, one of the nicest basses I have ever played. Probably the best of the lot for slap! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
