Bump :-)

All pm's replied too :-) [quote name='CyberBass' post='1155325' date='Mar 9 2011, 01:53 PM']Hi guys, Bought this amp from New from PMT Bristol, couple of months ago. I have used it less than a dozen times in my home and have loved it's tone, it's power, but to me it's an expensive luxury considering I just bought myself a mesa 12" Walkabout Scout combo, so need to recoup some money. These really are lovely warm sounding all valve amps, deceivingly loud being an all valve amp and is in absolutely as new condition and not even bedded in. The UK models have come up on this forum, but they are only a limited run of only 100 'Worldwide', so really is an investment for the future. Mine is number 64 of 100. Comes with Kettle lead, certificate etc. I will take some photo's later and post them, but it is immaculate condition. Price I am looking at £320 collected from Bristol or £335 delivered.

If your local, please come try it out as you will not be dissapointed. Thanks for looking![/quote]

Here's an interesting one. Few years back I bought a pair of Adam A7's for my studio, absolutely amazing active studio speakers, they cost approx £500 each at the time. I bought them from Sound Control Bristol. After a few months one of the speakers went down, so I had to send it back to Adam's to get repaired, in the meantime Sound Control lent me a single. By the time my Speaker had returned Sound Control had gone into liquidation, so I bought the spare off of the liquidators and this spare has been sat getting dusty ever since. I have just purchased a mesa walkabout 12" combo, so to recoup some money. So I have this speaker available to sell. in it's like as the shop demonstator it has had a bump on its side, but nothing significant, and it is in perfect working order. I will upload pics later. Price wise I am looking for in the region of £160 collected from Bristol or £175 Delivered.

Having looked at the pics closely and then looked at the bass, my honest opinion is that the pics are making it appear worse than it really is. It was there when I purchased her and it certainly didn't effect my judgement in purchasing her. She is an amazing bass :-)[quote name='Chris2112' post='1112959' date='Feb 2 2011, 08:32 PM']In all fairness, most of those cracks are usually just in the paint (like you say, it's thick and so is the finish). I'm not sure if it's the light of the photo that makes it looked deeper than it is.[/quote]

Hi Chris, This is the only kubicki I have owned, so would have to bow to your judgement. I assumed that it was paint only as the paintwork is very thick. So you could be right. I am definitely not wanting to mislead anyone. This is a lovely bass and while I have owned it have looked after it and had her looked after by my luthier :-) [quote name='Chris2112' post='1112933' date='Feb 2 2011, 08:08 PM']That split isn't a common fault, but if you see damage on an Ex Factor it's likely to be here, between the pots, caused by an impact on the lower half of the bass. As I say, it's not a design fault but it does seem to be the area that fares the worst and in this case, it does look like it's the wood thats split. Not likely to effect the bass, but in my many years as a Kubicki fanatic I suppose I should bring my experience and opinion to this thread...[/quote]

It's a split through the thick layer of paint and purely cosmetic. All electrics and wood is fine :-) [quote name='warwickhunt' post='1112866' date='Feb 2 2011, 07:26 PM']Is there a crack straight across between two of the pots?[/quote]

Reason it's a feeler is I just know if I sell her I will regret it, but it seems a real sin that ime not using her, so I decided to list her And test the water to see what kind of response I would get and if a genuine buyer came along then I would probably sell. Hope ime making sense. Ade [quote name='Chris2112' post='1112805' date='Feb 2 2011, 06:48 PM']I do love these, the first Ex Factor I had was a 1989 one and the one I have now is too! [/quote]

Thanks tis a fantastic bass. It's a great facility the drop d, so easy justto quickly switch to and from, the mechanism is a fantastic design and absolutely no tuning issues when using it, unlike some systems :-) [quote name='chuck_stones' post='1112677' date='Feb 2 2011, 05:27 PM']Gotta admit, that it is one fruity looking bass. Not sure about the whole drop D extended E string; surely would make playing in drop D an oddity? Either way, I'd love to play on one just to see what they're like - I've heard nothing but great things.. Good luck with the sale Cyber![/quote]

***Sorry now withdrawn***. I am really torn about selling her, its a fantastic bass guitar that is an absolute joy to play. The only reason I am contemplating selling her is because since my band split last year I have been playing synths in a band, so haven't really picked her up and played her since :-( She is a 1989 Kubicki Ex Factor 4 String (not fender model), it plays absolutely beautifully it has propper Kubicki Strings on her and I have a brand new set of Kubicki strings as spare worth £30 plus shipping. I bought the strings directly from Philip Kubicki, who is very aproachable and helpful. I have an invoice for 2 sets of strings (£75 inc shipping), along with Phils business card. You can use standard strings and cut them down to size, however I chose to buy kubicki own make. It has been used and there are a few chips and paint cracks, but there is absolutely nothing wrong with her and only cosmetic. None of the cracks have occured since I have owned her. All the electrics work fine, no scratchy/noisy pots etc, and it has been regularly serviced by my luthier. The paint on the pots are slightly worn and I have put tiny spots of black nail varnish to some paint chips. The back of the neck varnish has worn over a period of time and is a nice silky satin feel which makes the neck very fast. I also have an electrostatic back protector to avoid wear and tear and additional wear to the rear, this comes off no problem. I have always kept her in a gator hard case, safe and sound. It is by far the nicest bass I have owned. And believe me I have owned some beauts, including a lovely 1979 Fender precision. Here are some details: If you would like to "D" tune your "E" string almost instantaneously, without changing string tension and not having to transpose, then the Ex Factor is your only choice.The Ex Factor extended string bass and Factor 4 got its name from ergonomics, the study of the relationship between people and their working environment. Also known as Human Factors, this science was the foundation for the engineering parameters and the inspiration for the name. Function and balance were addressed by designing a body mounted tuner/bridge module to redistribute weight, making them absolutely not head heavy. Tuning knobs mounted at comfortable 35 degrees from the body make tuning easy, fast, and accurate. The Ex Factor bass hangs perfectly balanced around your body, in the proper playing position keeping player fatigue to a minimum. Because you're using less energy to keep your bass in a natural playing position, you'll find playing less tiring and more inspired. The Ex Factor 4 string bass has a 32" scale and allows the "E" string to be released to a longer "D" length of 36".The Ex Factor bass has a 32" scale and a 36" extended string. The shorter scale requires the use of a slightly heavier gauge string. The 32" scale is 6 per cent shorter than a 34" scale with a net loss of 6 per cent tension. Electronics Stocked with volume/blend, bass/treble pots, and six position rotary switch, you are provided with three pre-set passive, two fully adjustable active tone circuits and a standby mode, giving you all the tones you want. All Factor basses have the same Kubicki engineered and manufactured circuit boards. Powered by two 9 volt alkaline batteries, the system will provide 1000 hours of service. Active Pickups The special humcancelling™ pickups on your Kubicki bass work as either active or passive pickups, depending on how the active electronics controls are set. They are fully adjustable for height and tilt. Pickups plug into the circuit board. The Laminated Neck Because there are no keys on the headstock to counteract the weight of a vibrating string, the neck had to be made stiffer. I wanted to avoid graphite because it's not adjustable with a truss rod and is more expensive than a 34 laminate neck. Laminates are perpendicular to the ebony fingerboard so this accumulated glue joint tension make the necks unwilling to twist.
