Selling my early Modulus Quantum 4 (Q4), all original in overall excellent condition. This 1992 bass is from the classic Geoff GOuld/Jerry Dorsch era of Modulus Graphite. The color is Transparent Red and it is cosmetically in excellent condition throughout, with two minor caveats listed below, with pics. The finish is super clean, especially for a 32-year-old bass —crisp and clear, no dings, dents or chips.
These early Modulus have no truss rods but the neck, fretboard and frets were professionally
refurbished to original specs last year by Jerry Dorsch, now of of Graphite Guitar Systems. I purchased the bass two years ago from the original owner but it had a bit more relief than I liked so I shipped Jerry the neck and he planed the fretboard and installed all new frets (something I learned about from fellow TBers). restoring it to like-new.I believe the body is alder with a quilt maple top.
This Q4 is 35" scale, with a carbon fiber graphite neck and phenolic fretboard. It has the original EMG soapbox pickups and 9V 2-band EQ, in fine working order. Only two cosmetic issues (see pics) are a small wear spot above the neck pickup and some slight milkiness on the top half of the neck's back, difficult to photograph. Neither affect playability. Weighs 8.4 lbs. and strung with new D'Addario rounds.

It comes with the original tolex Modulus case. a bit scuffed but all hinges and latches in very good shape and work fine. Inside it clean with no funky smells.

The trade fell through, so this is still up for sale or trade offers. Give me a try.

Any interest in a Dingwall Combustion C1 5 string + a bit extra on my end?

Thanks, but only interested in four string, preferably passive. Let me know if you have anything.
Nothing in my stable would fit that bill. I even converted my P-bass to active.. (27 years later, I am still ok with that choice). But I do like that Modulus of yours.
