I am a young bass player looking to buy his first high end bass. I figured after hours of negotiating with "the parents" that I will end up having about $1200 to spend.
I play all kinds of music, but I LOVE slap bass, which is why I want a modulus Flea. There is currently an fj4 on craigslist...
Hi, this will be my first refinish job and i was hoping some of you guys could help me out. I want to refinish a Modulus Flea bass because the black gloss just doesn't do it for me. I was thinking about completely stripping the body and starting from scratch. I was looking at using reranch...
I have a Modulus VJ with passive barts and standard passive electronics. It also has the all graphite neck modulus is famous for. I was wondering if an audere preamp, Likely a standard 2 or 3 band eq WITHOUT the passive tone knob, would be a good fit.
Any opinions are welcome. I want to know...
I play in a high school band, but my Ibanez BTB just can't cut through the horns and sax's without being too much while keeping a crisp and clean tone. I am looking at trading in for an all passive Modulus VJ and was wondering if that will help do the trick, or if i should look else where. My...
There is a 2006 modulus vj in cream with tort , passive barts, and original case for 1000 bucks at my local gc.
Couple Q's:
Is this as great of a deal as I think?
Do these basses kick as much ass as they say?
Do they hum like a Fender Jazz bass when one pickup is off?
I have modulus neck i recently bought, and figured it would be far easier to locate a repo-fender or original fender body than one from a modulus. THerefore, i am curious if a modulus neck will fit, say, a Warmoth Jazz bass body.
Thanks,
Devin
Building a Warmoth J-bass.
What do you think about rolling with a reverse headstock? Neck/board are gonna be birdseye, and it'll be finished in vintage amber.
Let me know what you think!
Jazz bass- Light yellow (see Warmoth.com solid colors), white pickguard and standard chrome plate with jazz bass knobs.
Neck-Birdseye maple neck with black dots in vintage gloss with a reverse headstock and standard Fender tuners. (if possible, a Jimi Hendrix headstock logo. The reverse...
I'm building a Jazz style bass from Warmoth parts with a vintage tint birdseye maple neck, and i need some help picking a color. And none of that "you should choose what you want to choose" stuff here. I'm already set on an old school color, i just dont know what i want to do after that. haha...
I'm building a bass and am planning on having a J in the neck, and MM in the sweetspot but I'm having a hard time figuring out what to use.
Delano Hybrid with matching J pickup an Sonar 2
Nordstrand MM and J (I play all kinds of music. Suggestions?) with their 2B-4a preamp.

I'm ordering a Birdseye maple neck/fingerboard from Warmoth fairly soon and while I was putting it all together I realized the vintage gloss cost an extra $105! Which is why I am now looking at doing it myself.
First question, does Stewmac have good stuff (specifically their aerosol amber)...
I understand this can be a touchy topic, but I'm an image guy (not proud of it, but it matters to me) I am also a guy on a budget, therefore I am not able to have Fender create my dream bass for me. I am curious if it is illegal or STRONGLY frowned upon to put a fender j-bass waterslide on a...
I am considering putting a Delano Hybrid into my bass with the recommended set up (matching J and Sonar 2 pre-amp), and i have a few questions for those in the know:
How many knobs/switches will this set up have when it is all said and done?
Is it practical to think I will be able to wire...
So recently I decided I wanted to sell my Ibanez BTB400 and MIM fretless j bass (still for sale btw. Haha), and build my dream bass with mainly Warmoth products.
Here's the dilema:
I want a Jazz bass body in a classic color (currently leaning towards surf green or light yellow)
I am...
