Modulus VJ4. Sound Clip!

Sign in to disble this ad
Up for sale is my Modulus VJ4.

The picture and sound clip pretty much say it all. However, here are the spec's as well:

Alder body
3-tone sunburst
Graphite composite neck/fingerboard
Bartolini passive pickups
Custom clear plexi pickguard (original white pickguard included)
9.5 lbs

Sound clip is done straight into an Mbox without any plug-in's or effects, using a set of very well worn Elixer strings. You'd get a much brighter sound with some fresh strings, but I'm quite enjoying what this set is giving me right now.

There is a tiny chip in the lacquer at the base of the headstock, which my camera couldn't pick up very clearly. Otherwise, the bass is mint. The set-up is fantastic, and it plays like a dream.

Selling because I'm only playing my 5-string basses for any and all gigs that I've been doing lately. If this was a fiver, it'd be staying in the collection.

$1100.00 + shipping from Canada.

It is so nice when someone posts a clip and actually has rhythm. That is how you sell a bass.

Haha! I'm glad you guys are digging the clip. She sure sounds gorgeous. I can't listen to it though, because then I just want to keep it!

Those Modulus Jazzes are the most underrated highend Jazz Basses I know of. I just never have the cheddar when they pop up. I know a local monster, James Ross loves his!

My old bass!!!! I can attest that this is an amazing bass in both its construction and its playability!! Super low action. Stable neck that needs no tweaking during those harsh winter months

Good luck with the sale bro. I'm glad you got enjoyment out of my old girl :-)

Bobm, I definitely got enjoyment out of her! I'm excited for whoever gets to add this to their collection. It truly is a fantastic instrument, folks.

How does the graphite neck compared to a wooden one? Any noticeable difference?

Hey man,

the graphite neck is significantly more stable than wood. I see you're from Canada as well, so it really comes in handy with the big temperature shifts. It's great to be able to set your action perfectly, and literally forget about it ever changing.

I've also heard that they are more resonant and/or transfer vibrations and energy 2-3 times faster than wood. Don't ask me about the science of this... I'm not even sure if it's true.
