What else ya got?

For sale is my Modulus Genesis VJ4 Jazz bass with Bartolini electronics.
Modulus Genesis series. It has a maple neck, a graphite layer, and a birdseye maple board. Bartolini electronics. Original Modulus case.
I honestly don't know a lot about the bass at all. I got it locally in a trade for some something else, and I always intended to post it for sale, as I am having serious health issues and doing some major downsizing.
This one has the graphite on the BACK of the headstock. Some other people told me that most of them have it in the front of the headstock. Has the graphite layer in it, to add stability. My luthier cleaned it up for me, and his exact words were that this is a slap machine!!!! He loved the bass. He played it for me and it sounded amazing thru an Ampeg small combo amp (I currently can't play at all due to a neck injury).
I took a lot of pics and can take more if u need them. There are dents and dings here and there and I took pics best I could of all of them. There is a place at the 9th fret on the back of the neck. But, it doesn't affect playability at all because it is behind the G string. I tried moving my hand around the neck and couldn't feel it when I was playing due to where it is.
Asking $1400 obo shipped anywhere in the USA. No international shipping sorry.
Please PM with questions or offers. Thanks in advance and God Bless!!!

It is a great bass brother. I wish I could play it myself but I can't right now unfortunately. My luthier played it for me and it sounded really really good. I was super impressed.

Hello,

I just bought a 1990 Modulus prototype from a fellow spiritually connected fellow in North Carolina who also suffers the ailments of older age. The builder of my 5-string bass and cofounder of Modulus lives only 100 miles from me in Washington state. I visited him on Memorial Day. I'm a disabled veteran (totally) and haven't played bass professionally in over 20 years. But that gig led to my disability settlement, a government paid music education, countless performance and composition opportunities throughout the world and I found my gifted tenor voice in a church here in Oregon. I too am barely able to function these days and my mental and physical problems have made it difficult to perform any of my many instruments or sing. Two weeks ago I found this website on a sleepless night. I bought my bass here and have been sharing my story and responding to posts. Many people have responded-mostly positive. Maybe I'm waxing for the good old days playing bass in the late 80s and early 90s before I got sober (by God's Grace). Since I can't play right now I'm trying to share my knowledge and maybe help younger folks here. If God wills we will play again. But we have to work at our recovery. I'm also a compulsive gambler (last slot machine play was on 1/5/19) and my behavior destroyed just about everything in my life. But as my nickname suggests I am baruch (Hebrew for blessed) and 1994 is my year of sobriety. It's the year I put down the bass because of what I did and saw during my rock years. Yet it was my bass playing in '98 that led to everything I have received and experienced since then, and now I am considering playing again. If not, I am grateful for everything I have been blessed with and have turned my life and will to Christ (yes, I was born Jewish and have been in many churches and synagogues). My AA sponsor is still alive (he is a keyboardist who has played with the likes of Louis Armstrong and other jazz greats). It was through him I developed a relationship with Christ. My spiritual life has been a rollercoaster ride full of tragedy and loss. I have lost my family and all friends except for my AA friend of 24 years. Yet I have experienced great joy too and music has been a huge part of it. Now, after 30 years since I bought my first graphite bass, I have one from the guy who invented it and was ripped off by steinberger-the bass I sold 17 years ago while play alto sax in a Christian reggae band called Tribe of Judah. My descendants could very well been members of that tribe.

I met the graphite pioneer who got his break building guitars for the Grateful Dead (I was a Dead head back in the day) and he knows the guy in North Carolina who sold me my new bass. There is no doubt that God has a hand in this. I don't know what's wrong with me but I am fully disabled for bipolar disorder by the VA and I will work with the doctors to try to heal at 58 years of age. I hope you have medical care and that your neck will heal so you can play again. I wish you well on selling this bass and hope you (and I) can play again. God bless you and your family. Barney
