{"product_id":"kubicki-copy-headless-bass-fixer-made-in-japan","title":"Kubicki Copy Headless Bass: Fixer Made in Japan","description":"\u003cp\u003eAn unlicensed Kubicki copy that competes well with the official licenced Blaster bass. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is as good in my opinion, better in some ways, and not as good in others, but on balance a very good alternative. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe preferable points are the bridge and tuner assembly is less prone to malfunction or breaking, and is easier to use. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pickups are great, well shielded and very punchy and clear. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe weaker points are that although the bridge assembly is actually better, it just doesn't look as good as the licensed copy on the Blaster.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe truss access is at the body end not the headstock. Access is not as easy because of this. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe name \"Fixer\" is just weird, and the company or brand \"Poor House\" is also not a particularly cool name either...\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's a 34\" not a 32\" like the Blaster, but that's down to personal preference. For me I prefer the longer scale, actually.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fit and finish are comparable, and I believe the materials are the same: Basswood body with a maple neck and ebonite fretboard. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe circuit was originally passive, vol, tone, pickup selector dial. There was something wrong with the selector dial, so i decided to install a \"Penetrator\" three band preamp (dead stock Japan made) which sounds absolutely killer! It might actually be my favorite preamp now!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNow you have Vol, bypass, balancer, mid, bass\/treb for a control set.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e The result is an amazing sounding bass that plays great and looks very cool. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt weighs in at about 3.8kg and ofcourse balances beautifully. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt comes with its original coarse nylon gig bag, which is half decent with a modicum of padding. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BassJapanDirect","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67682174501024,"sku":null,"price":5175.0,"currency_code":"CNY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0075\/0141\/4457\/files\/rn-image_picker_lib_temp_874d32c6-2cd1-4bfa-8dbf-13a2eb05bbf2.jpg?v=1791882487","url":"https:\/\/bassjapandirect.myshopify.com\/en-cn\/products\/kubicki-copy-headless-bass-fixer-made-in-japan","provider":"BassJapanDirect","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
