robocorpse Posted November 16, 2009 Posted November 16, 2009 Yummmm!, tempted... What state are the tuners in? I have had bad experiences with them self-destructing in the past.
Kongo Posted November 16, 2009 Posted November 16, 2009 Damn I love these...As a Stuart Hamm fan I still MUST own one...But alas, what we want and what we can have are 2 different things it seems.
RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE Posted November 17, 2009 Posted November 17, 2009 Cool! If it was a Yellow one,I would have it. I've got 1 black bass already Bumpy bump anyhow. This will go soon......

I have had bad experiences with them self-destructing in the past.[/quote] Indeed! I never had any trouble with the bridge or tuning systems in the past (once I had figured out how to change the strings!). I have heard of problems in the past where the teeth on the tuning wheels can be worn off and thus the wheel won't lock anymore - meaning you can never get the bass in tune! However, Philip Kubicki is fantastic to deal with, very helpful and he'll often send replacement parts free if you'll pay the shipping cost! However, get your freebies in quick because it has been rumored that Phil is planning to retire soon (after all, he has been in the business for ages, he worked for Fender R&D in the 1970's trying to build them a headless bass!). All that being said, this bass looks to be in awesome condition and if I were in the market for another Kubicki I'd buy it straight away. Looking at the date there, I'm assuimg this is a Fender era Kubicki with the 9V preamp?
3styler Posted November 21, 2009 Author Posted November 21, 2009 (edited) Many thanks for your kind words.............it's still available.............I think that it is a Fender model as it has a 6 position (5 click) selector switch. simon. Edited November 24, 2009 by 3styler
Mickb1773 Posted November 21, 2009 Posted November 21, 2009 It look s more like a post Fender Kubicki as there is a 6 position switch and there is no Fender Custom Shop logo,All the best,Mick.
3styler Posted November 24, 2009 Author Posted November 24, 2009 now sold........... Many thanks to all who responded. Simon,
