Brubaker SC on eBay

I saw that one too. It's nice, but Brubakers don't often fetch $2000 or above on ebay.

 

damn, that color is hot! the fretboard would look better in a darker color though IMO.

Ebay is full of bargain hunters, and as much of a bargain that is, it's better off at a site dedicated to guitars and basses. I'm sure many people going to ebay are more interested in getting cheaper things.

 

That is a nice finish.

 

I look for high dollar stuff on eBay and have found some nice stuff. People look for everything on eBay.

This bass is still new, AFAIK it has never been owned by anyone other than Brubaker. I had it for a short time to show it around the Maryland area. It's the real deal. I considered buying it but I have three and I'm looking forward to my next one.

I still haven't seen a Brubaker K series bass come up for resale. I seriously doubt that if one does it'll be under this price.

 

that's a sweet one for sure. I haven't seen one that isn't stunning.

Brad - have you been to the shop lately and seen my 6'er?

 

I saw it too today, again.

 

I stopped by yesterday. He's in the final stage on yours. All I can say is wow. Can't wait to get started on my six. He's finishing up two sixes at the moment.

He's also trying to catch up on his emails... his email account had been hosed for almost a week.

BTW he asked me to help him in an official capacity so I may start working with him instead of just being a customer. Could be interesting.

 

Meh. I think its ugly.

 

I think it looks great. I really like the transparent teal finish. The neck looks a little wide though for a 5 string...

 

It's 19mm at the bridge IIRC

 

I'm so psyched to get that 6 from him. We're still debating what to do on the finish. I'll leave the top and neck alone but maybe something to cover the ash body. I may have to go see ti first though.

I ordered some wood knobs to go with the top.

You should be one of his sales reps.

 

Man that is neat looking...gotta resist the urge to bid...

 

The black edge really makes the spalted top stand out. He mentioned you might be thinking of a burst for the back. I've seen one Xtreme like that, the K5B that my buddy Preach had made when at the same time I got mine. His is a lighter Spalted top (it's on the Brubaker homepage) and it has a very dark brown edge that lightens into a burst on the back. Very nice.

On the sales rep thing, I have to take a good hard look at whether I'll really have the time to do it along with my day job which is already pretty demanding. Today for example, I almost had time to blink, around 3:30

Your top and board look great IMO but that's just the start... I can honestly say I haven't seen anyone as adventurous with quality finishes.

Here's what my fretted looked like initially, before the module was installed and we went to black. Ash with a warm Amber hue.

 

Brubakers are one of the most highly under-rated basses around IMO. I have a NBS-1 Custom 35" scale 4 string that I dearly love and won't get rid of. If the one on eBay performs anything like mine then it's one fine bass. Try one!

- Your right ... the finish is as good as I've ever seen.

- Yes, the 35" scale definatley makes a difference in tone. I always wondered why most 5 strings had a deeper tone and sounded bigger to me ... well I figured out it's because of the 35" scale so now with the Brubaker 4 I get the deeper tone like a 35" 5'er but in a 4 string. I will have to say also I believe the quad coil Barts have a portion to do with it also.
