For sale Modulus/MTD VJ Genesis w/Villex PUs

Michael Tobias designed a bass using a uncommon soft tone wood for a neck and utilized the strength of a Modulus carbon fiber spine and head stock platform to support these woods not normally able to support a neck. This is the premise of the Genesis line of instruments This is the Modulus Tobias hybrid that was very limited in production for a few years due to high cost of construction it was discontinued in the early 2000s.. Body is that of your standard Fender Jazz style. When combined with the highly versatile and impossible to find Villex Jazz pick ups and passive stacked tone controls this bass goes from Jaco to Marcus to Barret at a roll of a knob. Impressive for a passive bass to say the least. The high end tuners and bridge round out the solid features. Warm tone with quick response without the problem of full carbon sterilness. I had the bass professionally set up at Lark Street Music, once about 4 years ago and never had to adjust again which is priceless because with my Fenders it was a seasonal chore especially when changing tuning with different bands. The bass is in almost flawless condition and would almost pass as NOS. It also comes with the original Modulus hard case, which was a very expensive option. To my knowledge this is the only production collaboration of any two major companies and is bound to increase in value over time and due to limited production numbers and they will not be produced again. I'm selling all my 34" full scale basses due to age and work related issues in my hands and wrists. 30"-32" basses will be considered for trade or any Spector Euro or US. Thank you
