94 MODULUS 4....??SHED ANY LIGHT?

Cool. This is dangerously close to a show your Mosulus thread. I'll play. Very bad photo. Two very sweet basses.

The model with the pickguard was called the M-92, I believe. Most of them had a single EMG soapbar in the neck position, and 35" scale was standard for all of 'em.

Yours may have been a special one with two J's--seems like Modulus did that kind of thing from time to time--or someone may have routed the bridge position for an extra J pickup and swapped out the pickguard. You could check under the pickguard to find out, if you haven't already.

As for fattening up the sound of the bridge pickup, I'm not sure there's a whole lot that can be done about that, given its position. You might try and make sure it's as close to the strings as you can manage without buzzing, so that you're at least getting higher output that's a little closer to the neck pickup, but that's probably about it.

Looks like a Quantum 4 to me. Interesting configuration with the pickguard... Here's my '85 Quantum 6:

New pickguard. Also I think you originally had a Bartolini pickup based on what looks like 2 screw holes on one side of the old pickup route in your picture.

Hi...im new to the forum...just wanted to see if anyone knows anything about this bass...or has one like it.....its a modulus 4 string bolt on graphite neck with 2 active emg jazz pickups....black in color with white pearl looking pickguard..not sure of the model and modulus website is basic....the neck pickup sounds great but the bridge pickup is wimpy. ..it seems to be the same with my warwick 4 with emgs ..what pickup could you recommend for fatting up the tone on the bridge?...any suggestions..bartolini?basslines?dimarzio?

Thats the second one of these I see in the last 2 days, Must be something they did in 94

Your description is a bit vague, wimpy can mean different things to different people. I use and have used EMG jazz pickups in several basses and have not had this problem. My guess would be that this pickup configuration was a mod and the pickups are wired wrong.
