Modulus Mob

[iriegnome]

Here's a 1995 pricelist, there are a couple of models listed there

This is spectacular!

I guess I will start an excel file to put together models and versions of Modulus basses.
This is gonna take some work

I have sold a really sweet Modulus Q6 recently, one reason was I am having problems with 6 string basses due to hand problems etc. So i figured what the heck, I am going for an Alembic....I briefly had a MK Deluxe 5 and a MK standard 4, both were beautifully made and had the Alembic sound. But man, something was not right. I ended up selling those basses and going with an awesome Q5 as seen in the picture below. 2009 Chechen fingerboard with Nordy pickups(they are killer) and Aguilar pre. The Q5 necks are so comfortable and I love the Modulus sounds. Good to be back.

Wow.
My ex-girlfriend is in Playboy!
I forgot how beautiful she was.
Maybe I should call her?

That's a nice bass ... luckily I don't need one more.

 

[iriegnome]

NEED a new bass?? WANT!! OMG>> WANT

Looks like the Turbo is gone, but that Dragon Burst Q6 is still available.

That dragon burst looks great

That's my old Q5!! It's a beast for sure...and has one of the best necks I've ever played!

Wish I could have bought it back when it popped up last time, but didn't have the scratch. My next addition to the stable is gonna be a Q5!

Hi all. Been lurking and haven't had a chance to post a pic of mine. Here's my Q5 in Spalted Maple Ser# 010001

 

[iriegnome]

Serial number 0001.. That is so cool just right there. The first one made in 2001... Very cool indeed.

I have been diving into the Modulus history and the more I learn, the more I find out very little is known. I knew that Modulus made a headless bass, but I have found 3 completely different models of them. 2 different 4 string paddle versions and Phil Lesh's 6 string with a full body!!!
I would surely love to see if someone here had one.. They seem like they are exceedingly rare.

 

[iriegnome]

Correction. Phil had 2 different 6 string Mod's. 1 he played in 1986 and 1987 - I believe they called it the carbon fiber face and then in 1988 he played a natural one before returning to the regular Q6..

 

[iriegnome]

There is one just like this on GC's site now. Beautiful bass

Hi all. Been lurking and haven't had a chance to post a pic of mine. Here's my Q5 in Spalted Maple Ser# 010001

 

[iriegnome]

I thought I would post a current family photo...

And this one I just kind of liked the way the headstocks looked.

 

[Black Bart]

Very nice! So I guess the silver burst is staying put then?

 

[iriegnome]

I am taking it to my luthier on Saturday to see what's up with it. But, I think so...

 

[Black Bart]

I hope it all goes well for you, fingers crossed.

 

[iriegnome]

I do too. What I am going to look into is if the electronics are Modulus or not and if I can add the middle pickup back into it. Should not be too hard to find a mid 90's Bartolini soapbar pickup.
