Bass is SOLD!!!!!!!
I have to get some sleep so this will be a short intial post that I will edit tomorrow. Mid-90's (97ish as I recall) Modulus Quantum 5 with the quilt top option. Bass retails for $4500+ new and street is $3150ish - $3500ish (depending on where you buy it).
She's an awesome player and looks great also. So here is the fine print and the reason for the LOW price. She has been played (this is not a closet queen) and has some nicks here and there. The worst place is where one of the knobs came off the bass while in the case and got under the cavity cover and chewed it up a bit, but it's fully functional. The pot on which the knob came off is a split shaft and one of the side of the split came off, so the pot should prob be replaced also ($10 part and a 5 min swap), although it's still functional.
Comes with a brand new hardshell case that fits it well. Action is very low, buzz free and tone is awesome. THe neck on this baby is just plain wonderful. Balance is great with virtually 0 neck dive. Priced for extremely quick sale at $1199 FIRM!!!!  I believe this to be the (by far) lowest price I've even seen here on TB for a Q5 (and this has the quilt top option which is typcially more $)....

|  | There's more music in the nuance than the notes.

Prob gonna be gone soon.... Headed to bed now (finally). First PM in my inbox committing, gets her! This is roughly $300 - $700 less than other TBers have asked for Q5's in the past. No bites here soon, she goes to Evil Bay in 24 hrs or less. Night night!

I'm quite surprised it's not gone with being priced several hundred $ less than any other Quantum 5 has sold for here on TB. Oh well.... She'll be on Evil Bay this eve with a $1299 Buy It Now for a quick sale there unless somebody gets to me before this eve...

The second one I got is a 1997 also.
So if there's wood, it's gonna be chechen more than likely.

Thanks Rock!!!!!!! | Yep. The chechen was an option. You don't see a ton of them, but now that I have one it's my fave tone for the Q's. More low-mid punch as opposed to the sharp attack of the graphite.
I'm lookin' at a fretless too right but now, but if that falls through...
