'96 Modulus Flea Bass w/Rare Flea Logo NEAR MINT!

[jpbiggs]

This is a '96 Modulus Flea bass with a beautiful blue flake finish. I believe Modulus officially introduced these basses in '97 so this may be a pre-production Flea bass or perhaps one of the very first made. Perhaps someone more knowledgeable than me can provide more info. The Logo has a cartoon-like toothy smile with Flea written in a cartoon-like font. I have never seen this logo on another Flea bass. The bass has one small ding on the back which is barely noticeable, which (from what I can tell) is all that keeps it from being in mint condition. Superfast neck and feels great. Thick flea bass tone with the single Bartolini pick up plus 2-band active eq.

I would like to get $1500 plus shipping in its OHSC.

The 'cartoon-like' font and toothy smile was his autograph (may still be, not sure).

Can you take a pic of the serial number on the back of the headstock and post? Also - is the preamp the Bartolini?

Thanks!

Sorry for the delay. Here's a pic of the back of the headstock with the serial number. It starts with 96 corresponding to a manufacture date of 1996. Also, I opened the control cavity and the pre-amp says Bartolini NTMB, so yes it has both Bartolini pick-ups and preamp.

Hi this is my first post on the forum! I'll introduce myself tomorrow, it's very rude i know, but i'm so interested in this bass i have two questions to ask: is it sold? And do you ship to France? I know i don't have to do that but it's the bass of my dreams so...

Hi,

I'm interested, if you'll ship to Ireland. I'll cover the shipping costs.

Alternatively I can collect it from Florida in September if you could ship it there?

Sorry folks, bass has been traded!
