Modulus Mob

Does anyone else's Quantum eat 9v batteries like potato chips?

My '95 Q5 Sweetspot seems to need new batteries monthly. I play it a lot, but my Bongo and other active basses would still be good for 6-12 months without a battery replacement.

Normal? Potential problem?

Thx.

Sounds like a short, perhaps one of the wires to the battery is touching the side of the control cavity or it could be one of the lugs on the jack that is touching.
 
Don't any of you guys ever sell your friggin' Modulus basses?

Sheesh! I have been looking for a Flea/Funk or Q5/6 for a few weeks now!

Please IM me if you have a Modulus you are considering selling as I need something ASAP.

Regards,

Brent

No, not me. I would never sell my Modulus Quantum. While other basses come and go from my gear, I will probably have my Quantum for the rest of my life. It is and will always be my #1.

Cool. Thx.

I really wanted a 5/6 but I still play 4s a lot.

I will try to post a pic tonight. Red isn't really my thing, but this one is cool.

Also, the serial # is within 40 of my other Quantum. Kinda cool.

And 1995 is my wedding year!

You are focusing on all the wrong things....when you should be selling to me! ;-)

That is a fantastic deal though!

Thx. Really digging it tonight after cleaning it up and restringing it. Amazing shape for a 1995. Just a Great bass all around.

I loved my Sadowskys, Roscoes, etc.... But man.... A Quantum cuts so well in the mix. I always hated EMGs... But they sound great in this bass and my 5 Sweetspot.

I have said it before with other brands, but Modulus may be it for me.
