JJ brings more versatility than MM on the Fleas in my opinion. Bartolini is a real good thing in this composite based instrument.
I love the honk and focus provided by favouring the bridge PU. If the neck pickup is favoured, it´s a massive round tone that due to the resonant neck sounds almost like an EUB.
And then everything in between.

Instrument is in very good condition. I don´t really like to use the word mint, since mint is rare to find in used instruments.
A close inspection(5-10 cm) shows a few scratches on the upper horn, some slaphand rash on the fingerboard. Hard or impossible to get on photo. Very small paint chip on one of the neck bolt screw area, shown in pic Easily touched up if wanted. Some light scratches surrounding it, also seen on the picture. Suppose it is from belt buckle.
Frets, hardware and electronics are good.

According to my kitchen scale, she weighs in at around 4,3 kg.
Original Modulus hardcase with Modulus logo. Case shows use like it should, but is in good order.

Very stable instrument. I live in the arctic, which can give instruments some challenge with temperature span.
Tuners are mostly used when strings are fresh

I´ve gotten a price estimate from DHL on around £170 for shipping to the UK. Shipping is not included.
I´d like to get a new quote from them once I have a specific address. Will ship with DHL.
Instrument is also advertised locally.

Will ship in hardcase with cartboard wrapping. Documents from Modulus are included.
Price is hard to decide, and negotiable. Let me know what you think.

Modulus as we know it are over, the way I see it. That makes me want to hold on to this, but may also mean someone wants to take care of it for me. Guess we´ll find out.

Feel free to post comments and questions at will.

Trades are possible; Spector USA/Euro Neck Through, Pedulla, Mike Lull, Fodera std. Preferably a wide string spacing bass.
Feel free to shoot me a PM if you have an instrument you think i may be interrested in.

Have a nice day!
