I know Phil made a lot of necks to be attached to Fender bodies---if that's the case, you have a semi-Kubicki, not quite the real thing. 
I know of only a very few complete guitars that he made outside of his Fender days. They are VERY pricey and look handcrafted. I'd say that's a neck only. He made LOTS of those.

There is one Ebay shop here in Germany that has had a stratocaster with a Kubicki neck on it on the bay for a long time now. They claim it's all made by Phil, but to me it just appears to be a regular strat with a fine handmade neck stuck on!
There are Kubicki necks all over the place---I'd bet my last dollar that is the case with yours.
Someone could give me information of Philip Kubikis biography, most complete as you can. And also of the instruments that he maked for different artists, as Jimmy Hendrix.
I need this information for write an article for Wikipedia in Spanish. Greetings.

Contact Phil at www.kubicki.com. Or phone him, I'm sure that he tell you when it is a good time to talk.
I can't believe that no one has done an article on Phil. I have given serious thought to doing it, there is quite a story there. It would be ideal for a pub like Fretboard Journal.
As for the Hendrix Strat, Phil told me Jimi passed before they could get it to him. I know he made George Harrison's famous rosewood Tele. I believe he got his start at a young age with Rickenbacher, and when his mentor moved to Fender he took Phil with him. There is a Mosrite connection in there too somewhere. People don't realize his expertise with acoustic instruments, that is a whole story in itself.

I am new to the forums but have had this lovely blue ex-factor since 1997. And my internet handle almost as long
Everything in that pic except the factor has long since been sold off, but I could never let it go. Eventually I got back into playing and I'm glad I kept it!
Would kill to find a fretless one in blue to match it

My first Kubicki was a fretless blueburst...traded a Yamaha TRB6P for it but never played it and sold it off along time ago. Waiting to receive a black Ex-Factor any day now!
There isn't nearly enough activity on this thread. I don't own a Kubicki, but I'm looking to trade for one. Lets see some more basses!
What DO you have? I've always said my Kubicki will be buried with me, but I've said that before about long-gone basses...
Spector Euro NS4 CRFM. See the link for more details.

How's this for some activity?
That is one gorgeous bass. I haven't seen one of his exotic toped basses that I haven't liked. Congrats.
