F/S: Modulus Genesis 5 string - PRICE DROP

Sign in to disble this ad
I'm fairly new here at TalkBass, and I must say there are some great folks on this forum. I'm happy to be a part of the Talkbass family!

I need to sell my 1998 Modulus Genesis 5 string bass (with OHSC).
It's in excellent condition and I'm the original owner.

It has active Bartolini pickups, Granadillo fingerboard, carbon fiber & wood neck and truss rod. 35” scale... cream color.

Unfortunately, I do not play this bass anymore. I used to play in a women’s worship band and I loved the 5-string and clear low B sound. My problem is that the bass is really too big for me (35” scale) and I just don’t seem to progress with my technique on it. I’m playing a smaller scale bass now, which is much more comfortable for me.

Disclosure:
- One very small finish crack near the neck socket (less than 1/4" long in the finish only - see photo)
- Volume pot sounds a little scratchy, but can be cleaned (hasn't been played in awhile)
- The original locking hardshell case has some repaired minor damage to two of the “feet” from getting caught while sliding it into my SUV.

Priced dropped to $1250 shipped & insured CONUS (Paypal please), but am open to offers. No trades though.

It's a great bass that needs to be played. Thanks for looking!

The cream finish is a hands-down winner. The Gen 5's do have a slightly oversized body.

Bump for a lovely Genesis 5. I have a fretless Genesis 5 in black which is really sweet - I played it tonight at rehearsal.

Genesis 5

I've been through 30+ mostly high end basses and my Metallic Plum (read pink) Genesis 5 is one of the few survivors. Great bass at a great price. These things are impervious to temperature changes (a real advantage for outdoor gigs).

Thanks for the compliments! I'm sorry, but I'm not interested in trades right now. The bongo is a great bass though. Peace!

Love it! I really can't believe it's still here. Wish I could remedy that, but sadly, I cannot.
