Really? I've had a Modulus Quantum whose low end is certainly extended and smooth and definitely well-defined, but "massive" is probably the last word I would use to describe it. "Massive" to me suggests thickness and fatness (or phatness) and the kind of impenetrable girth that concrete pylons or alien motherships or amateur pron starlets have, and my Modulus exhibits none of that. I'd say its low end is more "transparent" than "massive". It's super clean, hi-fidelity low end, but it's not really "thick" to my ears.

The bottom end here is making me go OMG.... The USA Cirrus line is a beast I'm tellin ya... and every G&L I've played lacked a LOT and weighed a ton.... but the Cirrus rocked it even the 5er that I tried out (and I'm not a fan of 5s)... I also support the Bongo idea... they made something magical with that line... been 2-3 years since last one I played and I still remember it lol (please don't let this be GAS starting again... I'll be castrated lol)

I've owned 6 USA Cirrus basses (stock and custom shop) and they all have a big, yet clear bottom. The millennium preamp makes it even bigger. These are simply fantastic basses.
SKJOLD basses have a full, warm yet articulate bottom end. I am so pleased with my Skjold PSD '92, that I ordered a new Skjold Slayer. I could have bought anything, but I went with a Skjold because IMO, Pete makes the best basses around.
Try One.
