As soon as I disconnected the body from the neck, the overhang snapped back to its normal position...thank God!

Thank the bass gods

I am back into the fold with the purchase of used 1996 Q6 with EMG's. I am thinking about sending it to Mooradian Guitars to have made into a lined fretless. And stringing it ABEADG. Thoughts anyone? I got a great deal on it from GC. And besides a couple of minor issues(scratchy pots, a well repaired ding on the middle back of the neck and some body wear from being played) it's in good shape. How are the necks on the 2006 per truss models?

Are you sure that's a 2006? That looks like an 80's to early 90's model, especially with the Modulus Graphite at the neck joint.

Correction I meant 96. Need more coffee

I think that's a 92'

My 93 has "Modulus" at the neck joint rather than "Modulus Graphite".

Great score. The white with the black neck just is stunning.

Definitely the best bass for a Stormtrooper!

My Q5 was made and bought in '95 and has a serial number starting with 95, so I'd say it's a good chance that bass is indeed a '92. Mine also has "Modulus" at the body end of the neck.

From what I know usually the last # of the serial # dictates the date it was made which would make this a 96. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Nope. The first two digits denote the year. For instance, my Q5 that I ordered new in 1993 has a S/N of 93****.

The serial number on my bass which I know was made '95 is 952190, so unless they used a 5 year old neck and the serial number refers to the neck rather than the whole bass, then I have to think it's the two first digits that show the year of the build.

The first 2 digits denote the year on a Modulus.

 

[Bipslapper]

I did!

Good score Dave!

Thanks for the info.

 

[davidjbass]

The first 2 digits denote the year on a Modulus.

So it's a 92. Cool a good year.

 

[evilchuck87]

I did!

Nice score! I figured a TBer had bought that bass.

So here is a really stupid question to waste our time on.
Plural Modulus: Moduli or Moduluses
thoughts?
