I'll get back with some of you guys about the Mob asap!!!
Currently in the middle of tax season AND studying for the CPA exam, so I don't spend an extra second on the computer at the moment than I have to... 18 hours a day is enough!

That Trans black is beautiful man!

 

[cosmic]

Thanks man! It's a quilt maple Modulus calls "Blackstone."

I love the blackstone finish! I still want one so bad, too bad mine is green but it was a steal of a deal for a custom shop Modulus so I guess green will have to do for now!

 

[B.C.]

Yeah, that Blackstone is amazing. I'm stuck between deciding if I will own one of these someday. I've never tried any of the models(though I really really want to.) Maybe some day.

Just do it! You can pick up used Quantums for decent prices. And with the carbon-fiber necks, you have a very high success rate of getting a real quality instrument with no issues. Electronics are easy to fix if need be.

I got my Q6 on the 'bay last year for $1500. It had a nick or two in the top, but I did not care. It is a player. It is perfect except for a few nicks. My Q5 is mint -- just a scratch or two on the back. I plan to keep it as mint as possible -- although that will be tough as it is now my #1.

Well, let me ask you about the Genesis basses. That is what I am looking at most. What do you think of those?

Wow, that thing is a beast!

 

[The_Owl]

Wow, that thing is a beast!

Yeah, it sure is. I'd imagine it's similar to the one John McVie bought, one of the very first Modulus basses built.

I have no experience with the Genesis bass. But I do know the neck is the wood neck w/carbon fiber insert. So it is going to sound a bit different. My Q6 is notably warmer than my Q5 just by advent of the wood fingerboard (and maple top must make a difference).

I am personally more a fan of the VJ basses with the full carbon-fiber neck vs. the Genesis. That is just me -- it is a matter of preference.

 

[taiwright]

thats a sick blackstone deathdancer!!! the figure in the Quilt is a lot like my blackstone too!!!

I posted another thread about this, but, to Flea users:

To pick, or not to pick? And why?

I want one, but if it clashes too much, would a VJ work better? In drop D tuning.
