[attachment=34424:IMG_1098.JPG] Recent purchase from Paddy Blight (Knick Knack), I hope he doesnt mind me using his photo! Another great Bcer to deal with btw!!! Unbranded Fiesta Red Japanese Jazz Bass 2007 of the Tokai Factory in Great Condition. Tortoise Shell pickguard and Rosewood Fingerboard, stick an (Elusive) set of Dimarzio UltraJazzes in it and it'll sing like a fender easy. I would have kept it but I haven't got the measley funds for a new set of pickups and i'm urgently after a Guitar amp plus uni books. I've also picked up a Guild 1978 B301-F that suits my sound down to the ground so no trades please. Comes with a Fender Strap and set of fitted straplocks - no case or gigbag at current.

[attachment=34423:P1000967.JPG] Funk Machine 1994 USA Californian Custom made Kubicki Key Factor. This bass was made as the Review Model for this series and featured in Guitar Magazine, of which I own a copy which will come with the bass, along with a hardshell case. Specs: 34" Bolt on Hard Rock Maple Neck with Curved Brazilian Rosewood 24 fret fingerboard. Jazz neck profile with signature kubicki dash inlays (Recommend for speedy players with small hands!) Gloss Polyurethane Tobacco Sunburst Eastern Soft Maple body bearing "Factor by Phillip Kubicki". Black M4 Schaller/Kubicki alloy hardware. Custom Wound Kubicki hum cancelling soapbar pickups. Stacked volume and tone knobs for each soapbar and 6 way preamp selector. Plush interior Hardshell case (non-kubicki) The bass can provide both active and passive Jazz and Precision bass tones. How?! six way preamp selector. The bass also has a flat motown style sound, useful for Rocco Prestia and your James Jamerson covers. The 6th position mutes the bass and all feedback entirely, which is a handy addition. Uses the same electronics as the Kubicki Ex factor for your Stu Hamm and Vail Johnson tones but is tuned at the headstock as opposed to the bridge and has 24 frets instead of 23. Just a lil sound clip here: [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0PCN2uHZ61U"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0PCN2uHZ61U[/url] The bass has been previously setup and well looked after - has minimal fretwear, action is low and the neck is straight. The pickups are cureved and act as a ramp in line with the curve of the fretboard. Well looked after only some hairline scratches. Can provide more photos if needed.

Top chap to do a deal with! If this was up a few weeks ago, woulda been mine

That sounds A LOT like a Kubicki - AWESOME!! I'll have to look into them

I'd be tempted to give you my Goodfellow for that.... but no!! Must gain money!!

Hey Si, thanks for the advice! I dont really wanna risk using ebay at all anymore for sales, Kubickis withdrawn, hard to find and I refuse to sell it for silly money so I've sent it home. Keeper!

Its back up for £675 plus half the postage through paypal. Just to note anybody selling anything on ebay and paypal take 13.4%!!! I had to make up some extra damage just so no one would buy it. Would rather move it on to a basschatter for a cheaper price thats a lil more than what I would get on the bay.

[/quote] Just seen below your avatar bassinstinct, that your a fellow user of the Ashdown Superfly!! Great stuff . Just going to disguise this bump with a video from Youtube EBS Freak showed me of a Goodfellow Classic in action: [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DvcE6EqOR9c&feature=related"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DvcE6EqOR9c...feature=related[/url]

Extras came to a total £300 (case, strap, d'addario strings, straplocks and setup) in new mint condition. Theres moveable foam bumpers inside the case.

Withdrawn for ebay.

Is there any demand for one of these at the moment? Lil apprehensive, only up as my Kubicki won't sell, but need a new laptop plus £250 quids worth of Uni books: My High Quality 1985 Goodfellow Classic Custom, Serial no. 0030 and checked with Bernie Goodfellow to be an original. Has the looks, playability and tone. Looks like what the GB Rumour model was based on. The bass has a quilted maple top and spalted/quilted maple back, with a slab of walnut in between bound by mahogany. The neck is 34" five piece mahogany/maple with a 21 frets ebony fingerboard, bound again by mahogany which carries on to cover the headstock. The bass has custom Goodfellow Gold hardware with his surname engraved into the bridge and 'classic' upon the truss rod cover. The bass has 'g' engraved into the machineheads and has messacre ebony tuning pegs. The headstock bears the 'G' symbol and has 'made in England' underneath. The pickups are kent armstrong custom wound with wooden ebony covers boasting a thumb groove for easy playing. 5 rotary knobs : Volume, bass, mid, treb and pickups balancer. Active bass requiring two batteries for its silly amount of power (i only use it up halfway tops) and ability to switch to passive. Can play anything, very versatile. Recently setup by Cardiff Guitars: relubricated, electronics cleaned, action set low with no bend in the neck etc. ALSO!! Don't ask me about string spacing as its adjustable, just screw the grooves round, widen it up for slap and narrow it down for fingerstyle. Comes with hardshell professional plush hardshell protec case case, as made for orchestra instruments and a custom made John Edwards leathercraft polished brass engraved buckle strap. [attachment=33151:Picture_018.jpg] [attachment=33150:Picture_027.jpg] Seen these go for anything from £800 to £1500. No Longer for sale but will consider all trades.

I keep snooping at this project, looks flawless! Dont understand why you would want to separate it. Get it played man!

Killing me to watch this go.

God, I'd love an RR24. Recently picked up an 80s Jackson Charvel Star, flawless. Fantastic guitars Jackson, both ESP and them have really surprised me. If your gibson-enthusiast guitar teacher says their no better than a cricket bat...THEIR WRONG!! Bump!

Classic piece of Mojo there, especially with the old roadworn flightcase. Funny when you think the local music store are charging £900 for one of these new when you can have the 'real deal!' (cue David Dickinson) for the same price.

The sound in that clip i'm guessing its the passive jazz tone, if its the active- that boy needs a new amp. Should be much more dynamic, unfortunately this was the only key factor soundclip I can find, it has the same tone and electronics as the Ex factor.

Dang, was just up in Edinburgh for the fringe festival last week.

Gary v8[/quote] Hi Gary, its a good ole four string P.s Love the Charvel Star basses, I've just got an 80s version of the guitar!!!

[color="#FF0000"] (DONE!)[/color]
