Check it out. Looks to be a great deal.

Neck has a major bow. Just called. Said they have had a ton of calls on it and that the action is super high and can't be adjusted.

Bummer, I was hoping someone was about to get an amazing deal.

It has a front bow too...which is horrible.

New neck from Modulus is going to be at least $1,000 on a Q5. Priced one a few years ago.

The luthier I work with can do wonders with that neck. You just have to know someone who can work on it. That bass has been there for a long time!

She is mine!

Keep in mind that that's not a wood neck man.

If you check my avitar, you will see a Bassstar neck through with no truss. Thing was a mess when I bought it. My luthier guy did an amazing job with it and it plays like butta!

I figured you knew what you were getting into, just wanted to be sure. Good luck with that thing man, it's a steal if you get it playing well for not too much.

I actually made an offer and got it for less than what they were asking. I can't wait to get it... Did not want another 5'er, but it really looks cool and I know I can get it up and running perfectly, so I may have a Fender 5'er for sale here soon!

**sleepy_monkey** · #11 05-12-2011, 03:01 PM

What was your final price? I was waiting on them to call me back and give me the dimensions of the action on the 1st, 12th, and 24th.

I hope it works out well! I am having a lot of fun hunting for stuff in their used section. Picked up a markbass compressore for $89 last night.

Please pm me before you put your fender up f/s.

Called about it and wanted to think it over for a day before i jumped which was a mistake i guess. Good luck and i hope you can fix the neck

So they finally cleared it out after 2 years!!!
Good score.
Piccolo strings and an octave pedal and it's fixed

Hell no! Defret, level and plane the board, refret and adjust the bridge. That is what the plan is! The guy I use to do all my bass work is amazing!

Modulus gave me the quote around 320 bucks, but for 600+320 is still a big score.

OMG. Did they way get this one wrong. It plays nice. Needs a set up. Needs maybe a fret dressing, but other than it is really in great shape
