Hi Aidan,

Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.

The Kubicki Factor Bass is one of the most innovative electric bass guitars of the late 20th century, designed by Philip Kubicki, a former Fender master builder. It’s esteemed for its distinctive design, engineering breakthroughs, and association with prominent players like Stuart Hamm.

Kubicki Factor basses of comparable age are currently retailing for between $1,800 and $2,500, while when they sell at auction, they tend to sell for lower fair market (akin to wholesale) prices: $1,000-1,500.

Based on the photos and information provided, and subject to examination, this is:
