Alright part 3!

On related news, the Fretless VJ landed last Friday and I really dig this bass. Will be posting pics in a few days, maybe more, still have a few little "mods" to finish before it's ready for it's debut. That makes two in the herd now. :bassist:

Thank you. Actually those were all "after market" I did not receive the bass this way last Friday. Ordered all the parts, before it arrived and just put them all together today.

I kinda followed this bass when they sent the wrong neck finish. Guess I shoulda said nice *upgrades* or *mods* LOL. What did you do with the Barts?

Let me know how you like the Delanos.

And of course, MORE PICS!

Here's mine:

Ah, that's what you meant, sorry just went car shopping last week so those terms were still in my head.

I still have the Barts, just pulled them, and the Black BAII and original control plate in black with the passive wiring straight from Modulus.

I have Delanos on four basses now and the thing I really like about them is that they are transparent and let the bass come through without coloring or darkening the tone like Barts do. Even though they call me Black Bart, I don't like Barts - I think there's some irony in that.

Nice top on yours, kind of reminds me of snake wood with the grain being so tight. Very nice indeed.

Here is my new to me 1995 Quantum 5 Sweetspot. Not the highest end Modulus out there to say the least, but as I acquired it in a straight trade for a EBMM Bongo, I think I did well.

I really like the feel of this bass though. Light, ergonomic and the neck is absolutely killer. The action is perfect and even after changing strings to a complete new gauge, it didn't move. I am not a huge EMG fan, but I like the tones I am getting out of this bass. If anything, it has amazing clarity and is very bright. This is no P bass!

P.S. Apologies for the carpet. Nobody should have to look at a pic containing that! My studio is covered in hand me down and cheap carpets. I'm sure this one belonged to someone's grandparents!

Enjoy....

You did a great job on that bass. I was thinking of putting Barts in a 2 tek bridge bass to calm it down a little. *Black Bart* is ironic! I'll have to try Delanos someday.
