Composite Basses

I'm kinda of thinking I want a Modulus after trying a used one at my local Sam Ash. I got me thinking though. Are there any companies making basses completely out of composite materials?

I've tried a Status, Zon, and Steinberger and I believe I also played a bass with a Moses neck. I much prefer the feel and tone of my Modulus Quantum 5 bass.

I really like the emerald, but the prices not so much!

To clarify for the OP, Zon basses are not entirely made from composite materials. Only their necks are.

The only people I know of who are currently making all-composite basses - as opposed to composite necks on wood and/or plastic bodies - Are Status and Miller.
