Here she is in all of her glory. My crappy pics don't do her justice. She sounds MEAN. Ironically still retains a Jazz flavor but more modern and muscle. Plays decent but since this was a build from scratch I am going to take it to a local who is renown for setting up guitars and basses. It is BMW silver with a Modulus P neck on a Jazz MIM alder body. EMG 40DC pups with EMG BTC preamp. Badass II bridge. The body was routed to accept the larger pups and the guy who did it did such a great job with that it looks like it came from the factory like that.
Now I am a guitard and like sissy bass strings lol but I found out that a jazz doesn't do well with 40-95 on my other Jazz especially at a half step down so I use 45-105 and that felt good. So this bass I put on 45-105 and tuned standard and it still feels a bit light. Maybe this is more of a Modulus players question but are these necks so rigid that heavier strings work better? I would like to get the action down a tiny bit more and was thinking a 45-110 or 50-110 might give me more string tension. What is everyone's opinion?
