I'm especially taken with bright yellow Kubicki Ex-Factors after seeing Stuart Hamm's fretless on the front of "The Urge". Hippiesandwich also has a nice Kubicki.

I think I paid about 400 pounds for it at the end of 1989 when I had my first job. Maybe I need a matching Precision or Jazz alongside it?[/quote] Niiiice strat! Quote
4-string-thing Posted January 25, 2010 Posted January 25, 2010 (edited) My 78 P is a sort of custard yellow, I've never liked it (the colour) It's sort of patchy now too, gone dark where I rest my forearm and faded in other places. I'm loathe to have it re-finished though as its all original. Talking of re-fins, why does this reduce value? I mean, if I bought a 30 year old Ferrari that was covered in dents and scratches, had it repaired and resprayed, it would increase its value! Edited January 25, 2010 by 4-string-thing Quote
Owen Posted January 25, 2010 Posted January 25, 2010 I used to teach this kid who walked in with an old case and pulled out a late 70s/early 80s (not really sure) canary yellow Jazz. It was original because I realised that I remembered his dad buying it. It had strat control knobs. I thought it was a vom moment. It eventually grew on me. Quote

OldGit Posted January 26, 2010 Posted January 26, 2010 Used to have a 98 "Vintage White" Fender P that was called "The Custard Bass" by my band. The white plate didn't help. Quote

robocorpse Posted January 27, 2010 Posted January 27, 2010 Heres a little something I rebuilt and refinished several years ago (when Watchman was cool the first time round) I wonder where it is, and if the current owner has refinished it? Quote

Lfalex v1.1 Posted January 27, 2010 Posted January 27, 2010 I want one. Eventually. Must have; Canary Yellow paintjob Black hardware. If it has a scratchplate, that'll be black. Matching (Yellow, then!) headstock. Ebony or (stained darker) Rosewood fretboard No exposed polepieces- or I'll coat them with black nail varnish! Natural coloured frets are a necessary evil. Do DR do coated Yellow strings or will I just have to use Warwick yellow labels!!! Quote

Headed 4 string Stealth - black hardware - and all yellow . I mean everything . One piece graphite bass - spray the lot - even pick ups . Will cost a bit more (so Rob informed me a few years ago , and I got the impression that he wasn't too keen) Just thought it'll be a bit different , though after watching an old Top Gear , where they had 3 supercars on a road trip (yellow , orange and green) , any of these colours may also be different . Any of these 3 colours would be great and they're the same as on my kid's duplo (lego) bricks . Yeah yellow - bring it on Quote
