OK, I've searched and I know the history behind these basses. However, all I could find info on are the bolt on necks. I have a neck through. This bass is just about the closest thing to perfection (sound, feel, evenness, everything) I ever experienced. Really. This feels better than my $3000 Zon and many other high-enders I've had the pleasure of playing. Does anybody know where to find the serial? I'd love to hear from other bassstar fans (or foes!) as any more info would be great.

Seriously, neck-thru Modulii are the holy grail of basses. I would trade several small body parts for one. Definitely gotta post some pics!
whoaaa nice! i had no idea they made these neck-thru, i've only seen the bolt ons.
as for a serial number...maybe in the control cavity?

Actually, the only thing that we really know is from Modulus is the neck.
Is it possible this was a one-off bass?

Nope I have seen another one... these are VERY early bassstars. Like early to mid 80s. The other one I saw the guy claimed it was an 82
Wow, that's really bizarre! Aside from the neck-through construction, which I've NEVER seen on a Bassstar, every neck I've seen with the hooked headstock and that logo has had the carbon weave versus the "thousand ladies dancing". Extremely cool!
Does it have that logo or the newer upper-case, slanting to the right "MODULUS" logo?
Oh man, I bet that thing sounds amazing. I bet the neck pickup kills with the neck through and the carbon fibre. I would buy one of those without hesitation.

I don't know what's up with those rusty pickup screws. Can someone tell me what the "kld" or "thousand ladies dancing" means? Still no luck with the serial number. I might just have to settle with nothing. Still sounds and feels great without a serial number!
