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!

4-string-thing Posted January 25, 2010 Share 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!

Owen Posted January 25, 2010 Share 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.

OldGit Posted January 26, 2010 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lfalex v1.1 Posted January 27, 2010 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
