Hey guys,
I'm the lucky guy who got to work on Darryl's bass (see the other thread, already linked on Pg. 1).
Actually, I switched out the neck for another Bassstar neck that Darryl had, since the first one was delaminating a bit between the core and the fingerboard.
I also put a new Badass bridge on it, since the original was corroded to the point that it could not be adjusted.
In addition to being a monster player, Darryl is a real gentleman and a very nice guy. Actually, I went to school with his kids!
Dr. Know also lives right here in Woodstock.
I used to see him sit in with the local funk bands. Cool.
Also - just to clarify the Modulus "lingo":
-"Woven" texture is the visible, cloth-type appearance
-"KLD" is the newer-style appearance, which looks like big 'flakes' of graphite laid over each other in an apparently random fashion. As I understand it, the term originated in-house at Modulus - someone said it looked like "a thousand ladies dancing", thus K(1,000) L.D.
Cheers,
Martin

wow thanks for the link. LOVE BAD BRAINS!
It occurs to me that at least half of the posters on TB would probably not only fail to apreciate Bad Brains, but probably think it's noise. I mean, HR's voice is kind of an acquired taste.

Love, love, love Bad Brains. Haven't seen them since 93.
Looks like the Modulus has been through a few shows eh?
PS Not associated with the site, but the Bad Brains site recently had a blowout sale on 'Banned in DC' tee-shirts. I got me two.
Plus he has a solo album coming out http://www.darryljenifer.com/

lol Yep that is indeed CB's you cant mistake all those stickers on that cabinet. They always would put the bass players on that side of the stage.
Daryl Jennifer, he also plays on occasion, a white J-bass with red pearloid guard which appears to be same modulas neck, looks pretty nice IMO.
not my vid, just scroll towards end
