cliff78, you are right. Phil just confirmed that color as "Bahama Green." I didn't want a dump ol' blue one anyway.... LOL

GO FOR THIS ONE! Prefender + good conditions + good price.
I would myself but the seller does not ship internationally

Sweet. Looks like the same charcoal colour as mine. Yeah, pity there's no international sales - would love another one

I have a '93 fretless with an 18v preamp and a 6-position selector switch. I hadn't played it in many years. I broke it out a couple days ago, and noticed something that doesn't seem right.
The stacked tone knobs don't work in when the selector switch is in any of the 3 passive positions. The knobs work fine in the 2 active settings.
Is this the way it was designed, or is there something wrong?

"The two center stacked tone knobs operate in the active modes only." Taken straight out of the manual.

Thanks! Makes me wish I got the manual with the bass.
That is strange, don't you think? I wonder why he designed it that way.
Seems to me I read in the FCS manual that the FCS preamps use one of the tone controls as a passive high-cut tone control in the passive mode.
I have never seen the Kubicki manual. Does anybody have it in pdf form that they could share?

You don't have a manual??? smcd, You should sell that bass right now before anything else goes wrong. I'd be glad to help you out.
Dont listen to him. You'd have to be high on Hot Pockets to do something crazy like that...
Mmm, Hot Pockets.
Yea, that's it... Hot Pockets. I'll trade you Hot Pockets for the bass. How many to you want.....
LOL
You've been high on Hot Pockets before Bobunit??? How many does it take?

If you remember the old advertisement for Tootsie Roll Tootsie Pops, then just sing the jingle to yourself. Remember? A one, a twohoo...
I'm in. Had 5 at one point. Now down to two. First is a black FCS Body with a post Fender fretless neck (unlined).
My price is a 1985, #047. The VERY first to roll off the production line with the current factory configuration (placement of pickups, etc.). Has the rare and uber-hot Pre and the side by side series pickups. This was Tiran Porter's bass which I acquired in trade with him. The back is also unfinished per his specs which looks and feels sweet. It's midnight blue and it is strung with Maxima gold strings. Dope!

Hot Pockets?? I may have to do that. Those things are delicious!!
I went through the Fender Kubicki 4-position switch manual. Though they say the top tone knob has no function in passive mode, they say the bottom knob functions as a standard tone control, and that doesn't happen on my bass.
Hot Pockets, though.....
+1 for the Kubicki manual
Paul, what about scanning and PDFing it for the joy of us all please ?

You might just email Phil, he can give you the pdf text I think.
He was very helpful when I took an old one I had in to him in person way back a decade ago.
