A rare Japanese rendition of the Philip Kubicki bass, this Blaster model is truly a unique instrument! This particular example is extra special with a fretless conversion! A veteran of Fender's R&D department, Kubicki came up with this truly innovative bass design in the 1980s and many players of the era were quick to adapt it into their live rig, including Stu Hamm, Roger Waters, and John Taylor of Duran Duran. This instrument is in excellent shape and would make a great addition to any studio arsenal. EXC w/Bag
