Having to definately sell this bass now to pay for other stuff, its such a shame,
this bass is Immaculate appart from one little white mark in the laquer,
as you can see on one of the pictures. its the headless with the drop D on
the E string, layered maple neck, with I'm pretty sure macassar ebony fretboard
with matching end, body in metallic grey, some might say black seems much lighter
than that to me, quite a light bass no neck drop obviously and well balanced,
very easy to play, fast neck, never goes out of tune, very easy on all adjustments
just a little more complicated putting strings on but once you've done it couple times
its fine, this is no one trick pony you can get some great tones out of this bass and
they are easily obtainable, it sounds great through any amp, it really is a delight to play,
the only difference with the customshop and phillips is the five position active passive switch,
fender put in three, two active one passive, lot of people seem to think the fender passive is better,
oh it was built in april 1990 as you will see from the back of the neck shot says 04 90, the front numbers
are the serial numbers which I have checked and they match the dates when fender got involved
with kubicki, also has fender customshop stamp, comes with good hardcase and manual, hoping for
around £800-1000, its a cracking bass very understated open to offers!!

They speak to me some futuristic language I can't understand.

This would get my GAS going except that even the devil on my shoulder knows there's not the slightest chance of me finding the money before someone buys it.

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!

cheers for that, I think people do think that there all about slap, but you can play most styles with it and its so comfortable to play, as I said well under rated, or did I say understated?
