Modulus Flea Bass

[jnevi9nr]

how light is it? the original one, not the funk version.

 

[jnevi9nr]

anyone?

when i owned a 4 string with a Lane Poor, it was definitely heavier than my other 4 string basses (Fenders).

I only played one once before and I remember it being quite heavy.

I don't believe there's any difference between the standard Funk version (single MM pickup) and the original Flea.

I remember it being 9 or 10

Save the cash and buy a Peavey GBass.. Modulus neck.. similar sound -- sleeker feel.. $1000 extra in your savings account.

I remember the Peavey BQuad basses being Modulus necks, but I'm not sure on the Gbass series. I've played a Gbass... for a few hundred they rock, but it ain't no Modulus. Not even close. I'm not a fan of the single sweetspot humbucker setup, but I've got the Modulus VJ with the full graphite neck and it just kills.

Also, my VJ is like 13 1/2 lbs. It's a pig, but it sounds fat as can be too.

Definately a Modulus Neck...

I've owned them both (quad and flea)... both need to be setup correctly. A GV has duals

BQuad is said to be Modulus' best sonic work.

hoping this can be a thread to discuss all things modulus flea bass.

 

[jnevi9nr]

thoughts? any interest?

 

[jnevi9nr]

what are people's thoughts on the pros and cons of the older (97-00) Flea basses? how is the performance of the bass?

You might as well just do a search, there are plenty of modulus flea threads.
