Uh, I'm new here but I guess you can add me to the list; I'll post a pic of my 1988 Quantum-6 SPX as soon as I can snap a new shot or scan an old one.

See sig.

Don't be too harsh-

He was contemplating a Dingwall Super-J. I can't knock him for that, being a prior Dingwall owner. They're simply amazing.

Tasty!

I used to have a fretless Q5 just like that, except with EMGs over Barts. Still miss it, but I'll never be a great fretless player so it's ok.

Sorry it's taken me so long to post pics (and apologies for the crappy quality of the pics..."Dammit Jim, I'm a bass player, not a photographer!")

This is my Quantum-6 SPX, built for me in 1988 back when "Modulus Graphite Products" was still a small company in San Francisco, when Geoff Gould was still running the company, and long before they'd dreamed up SPi Integrated Neckjoints or wood fingerboards or adjustable trussrods.

Alder body with cocobola top, 35" scale bolt-on graphite neck with phenolic fingerboard, EMG J pickups, EMG BTC tone control, Kahler bridge, Gotoh machines, Dunlop StrapLocks.

Very nice!
Always wondered what a Quantum w/ J's would sound like!

 

[Dave W]

That is one funky bridge! Pretty cool indeed.

Well, it doesn't really sound like a Jazz Bass! The best word to describe it would be "transparent". Sometimes too transparent; I really have to push the lows, roll off some of the top end, and dial back the front pickup a bit in order to get a real traditional punchy tone. Ordinarily the bass has a very vocal or horn-like sound, especially in the middle register. But unbelievably crisp, clear, and uniform from end to end.

That thing is beautiful!!! That's all I can say. I'm in awe! God, I love Modulus basses.

Can I post a picture of mine please........I will anyway, it's been seen before, it used to be Eublets, it's now living in the cold and very wet UK.

How do you join this Modulus mob ?.

 

[Baryonyx]

Wow, that is a nice bass! And judging by how grey and depressing the sky outside looks, I'm guessing you live in Preston?
