Fs/Ft Modulus BassStar Jazz

[Moe Monsarrat]

Since I haven't been playing it much I'm putting up my Modulus BassStar necked Jazz for sale or trade. This bass has been on a ton of records since I bought it in an Austin pawnshop in about '86. It has old active EMG pups & preamp & a Badass bridge. The very best thing about this bass is the fact that every note on the neck sounds even w/no wolf or dead notes. It's a dream to play & you won't find a better sounding 4 string to record with. $1200 or trade for a 5 string.

Bump for a great bass. I have the blue burst PJ BassStar and it plays so well and great sustain! New owner will be lucky!

[Moe Monsarrat]

Yes. I'll probably regret selling it because it has so much soul. Nevertheless, that bass & I have been down the road quite a bit & I feel like letting someone else discover it. Hopefully I will discover something new as well.

[Moe Monsarrat]

Gotta run to my gig. Contemplating trade offer.

This bass is currently strung with Sadowsky flat wounds. It has a very warm sound w/those. With roundwounds it is an absolute slap monster.

Saturday bump....

Not to hijack your for sale post, but I recently got a all black P-J Bassstar with a P profile neck and I was wondering how the trussless neck would handle flatwound strings. Seems like you had no problem. Does your neck have a truss rod??
PS. Good luck with the sale.

[Moe Monsarrat]

No, it doesn't. I've owned this bass since the late 80s & at one point I noticed the neck had bowed (no kidding). I took it to my tech & he called Modulus. They said to send it in. They took off the frets & fingerboard, planed it flat & replaced both the fingerboard & frets w/new ones at no charge. Now the neck is actually thinner than stock . It's also pristine because I have not used it much since that time except for studio work. It's one of the best recording 4 strings you'll find. I probably should just hang on to it, but I only use it occasionally. I've come to like the feel of wood.

maybe a better bass for a slap player but how about the pick/fingers rock or punkier sound, is it too bright or how would you say it compares to a stock 98 US fender Jazz?

I strung up my Bassstar with chromes and it is AMAZING. BASSSTAR BUMP

[Moe Monsarrat]

Well, I don't slap. So it's strung w/ Sadowsky flats & is a great bass for fingerstyle.....which is all I play. The tone is clear & fat. Massive in fact. I used to have rounds on it & it sounds really great for that too, but reggae & country are what I play most so it's set up for that now.
