Modulus Mob

[loveandbass]

Lets all tell modulus to start selling carbon fiber parts with their 10kdl pattern. Control cavity covers, pickguards, etc

Would love a carbon fiber pickguard for this m92

The guy I traded my old TBX too got a cavity cover with it- looks sweet

yeah i want that!

where did he get it if you dont mind?

 

[MattLplaysBass]

Beautiful Flea! My control plate was made by Joe Perman. He just so happened to have a 1ft x 2ft piece of leftover carbon that he made it out of for me. I lucked out

Ugh God, what a sweet bass.

Anybody that has a turbo: have you tried different pups? The stock barts are a bit dull for me. They sound like they have a blanket thrown over them. I want a nice bright clean tone but fat too. Sort of a hot modern jazz on steroids tone (but obviously a bit different because of the turbo config). I was thinking of nordstrand big split at the bridge and a fat stack at the ss maybe. Any thoughts on achieving the tone I'm describing?

I just dropped an East u-retro pre in it to help with sculpting but the pups still sound muffled when everything's flat.

There's a Modulus OHSC on the 'bay currently (not mine). Looks like a flea case to me? Sadly I have no use for it, but looks to be in good shape.

my Q5 at my luthier getting the battery box installed. Only place to do it is above the control plate..

looks like a quantum MIGHT fit in there

good lookin out thanks

I was fortunate enough to just recently get a used quantum case from Tony at planetbass. He was very helpful and awful kind to sell me a used case by shuffling around a couple basses. He told me they plan to make them available for purchase sometime this year. So we should all be in luck very soon. Cheers!

When I sold my Quantum hardcase on Ebay years ago, I was amazed by how much it went for. It went for over $200.

Was that one of you guys? The keys were on a bass-shaped Roger Waters concert keychain.

thats wild

the original case that came with my tbx is really f-ed up...basically its barely functional

 

[iriegnome]

The Quantums do not fit those Molded cases. I had one. It did not fit right on any of my basses. It may be a Flea kind of thing since it is the only Modulus body style I don't have..

Yet...

Are you getting just one battery box, Iriegnome?

So in case anyone needs/wants it, here's a copy of the Modulus Quantum and Genesis manuals, for what they are worth

Doing some dorking around on my old PC and finding some stuff...

Nobody here used nordstrands on a quantum? Either a normal one or a sweet spot, but mine is a ss so that would be most helpful. Just trying to get a sense of what they'd be like before I buy.

Yes, my Q5 is only a 9v system and the output is super hot, so I will be keeping it that way. Single battery in my Quantums. Dual batteries in my Genesis basses

 

[iriegnome]

BTW - I bid on that case on E-bay. However, Fred, if you want it, I will not bid on it anymore.

 

[loveandbass]

I was gonna bid on it but if you want it


Edit: i now see this wont fit a quantum?

If thats the deal then im out

I had Nordstrands in a Q5. The bass was reportedly originally built with full Nordstrand electronics , but a PO had installed an Aguilar OBP3. I found it very bright, even harsh, at the time, and it got sold in favor of Lane Poor, Bart, and even EMG equipped Q's. I might feel differently today as my sonic goals have changed some.
My friend has Nordstrands in his Lakland and reports a similar impression, but I know that a lot of folks love their Nordstrands.
I need an FU case, BTW, so I may bid on the one listed on eBay.
