FSO Brubaker NBS II Exotic Wood with Hipshot Drop D *NICE*

thomasjbass · #1 06-21-2011, 11:21 PM

The bass has a spanish cedar body with a spalted maple top, a hard maple neck with a ziricote fingerboard. Bartolini NTMB 4.6 AP preamp and Bartolini jazz pickups. The scale length is 34 5/8" standard for a Brubaker. The weight is 9lbs 14oz. The string spacing is 18mm. I am asking $1650 for the bass, which I believe is a very fair asking price considering the bass is mint condition and it a tone monster. I will include the mint condition Brubaker hard shell case as well with the bass for the lucky new owner. I am not interested in trades on this one, as I am using the funds towards another bass project...

Eye Candy:

Thanks Rich! This really is a great 4 banger and I hope someone gets to take this one home soon. I don't imagine it will last long at this price.

Kevin's (Brubaker) shop is 10 min from my house and I've been there a couple of times. HELL of a nice guy and his work speaks for itself. Oh, he's a damn good bass player too!

I have played a number of basses including MTD, Fodera, FBass, Elrick, Ken Smith, and many more. This bass as well as my other KSD Single Cut feel so incredible and play amazing. I have heard nothing but great things from everyone who know Kevin and I am hoping to get to meet him at this years NAMM show. I am working with him right now to make me another 5 string single cut custom...

@ThomasJBass: Thank you my friend. It's a beautiful bass, just wondering what it sounds like..

Killer bass!

thomasjbass, the neck wood looks like ash on the photos.

Good luck with the sale.

thomasjbass · #18 07-05-2011, 08:18 AM

Thanks Raz! I thought the same thing as well...I emailed Kevin and he said it was maple. Kind of caught me off guard...
