FS/FT- Brubaker KXB5 Standard 24- Singlecut

chris.gotfunk · #1 11-07-2010, 08:23 PM

Hey all. I bought this bass brand new just a couple weeks ago but realized that I am a jazz bass guy. If I could afford to keep this thing, I would but it must move on. It is a prototype for a line that Kevin is going to have CnC'd the bodies and necks. This one is handcarved though and not CnC'd.

Looking to trade for a Jazz 5'er. Prefer ash/maple, but will consider others. Must be 34" scale though. Trades plus cash will work as well so if you have a 2008 or newer Fender Jazz 5 we can talk. Also considering Sadowsky Metro's, Fodera NYC's, AtelierZ M265, etc...

Asking price is $2200 shipped CONUS via Paypal. These basses are going to be $2599 new so save yourself some $$ and get a brand new one... not to mention this is a prototype for the new line Kevin is working on.

Specs are:
Specs-
Model- KXB5- Standard 24
Body- Soft Maple
Neck- Maple with satin black finish
Fretboard- Bolivian Rosewood
Frets- 24
Scale- 34 5/8" (yes, that is correct)
Bartolini Quad Coils and Bart preamp- Volume (Active/Passive), blend, stacked bass/treble, mid -push/pull for freq, coil tap switch
Bridge- Hipshot B style
Tuners- Hipshot Ultralites
Weight- 10lb 3oz

Thank you. I wish I could afford to keep her, but I have a one bass household and a jazz is really my thing.

Some great offers, trying to sort them all out. Keep'em coming folks.

wow dude, so soon... The only thing that I have that is close to what you like is a Nordy vJ5 with Fat Stacks, but after this weekend with it... it's going to be sticking with me!

Why not send it back and have Kevin make you a JXB model?

Funny you should mention that. Kevin said the same thing. Looking at my JXB options before I make decision.

Nice bass and great playing Chris... And +1 to the JXB suggestions, why lose money when you can return it?

J. Crawford · #10 11-08-2010, 06:52 PM

That JXB is awesome.. go that route!

Kevin Brubaker sounds like a great guy! I wouldn't mind doing business with him myself.

This thing is sweet. I wish I had more cash to snag it. I'm looking forward to this new line coming out.

Thanks, I am going to miss this bass. It really is a monster and I wished I was into this type of bass more, but to my ears a jazz bass is so perfect.

You know if you can save a few ducks by getting this over a new one!

I would def hit Kevin up though place an order if you can. He is great to work with and I have a feeling these basses are going to sell extremely well.

chris.gotfunk · #19 11-10-2010, 06:17 AM

Still taking offers... especially if you have a Sadowsky 5'er!

chris.gotfunk · #20 11-10-2010, 01:23 PM

Possible trade + cash deal pending. Nothing is set in stone yet so keep the offers coming.
