Modulus Mob

Pulled the trigger on this Q5 last night, being shipped tomorrow. Decided to forgo the Chechen fingerboard.

Hmm. interesting conundrum... Black or Gold?? Anyone have any example of a Gold/Amber/Yellowish type of Moddy with Black hardware? That could look really good and I have a Silver Burst with Black and a Amber Quilt with Gold that would look pretty darned good with all the hardware swapped..

I thought I had seen every Modulus finish. And then this pops up on ebay. Not sure if the owner is on here but HOLY SMOKES the carbon top is amazing!! I didn't know they made these.....

Most likely a custom , just s carbon laminate bonded on top of the body , nice though .
The kld tops were a one off that they did maybe 10 of, from what I've read. They only did it once. They are rare as hens teeth hence the price. But I wouldn't pay it.
that is one beat case for sure.. Looks exactly like the case I bought for mine that looks exactly like it.
Haha, you're talking about the one you got from me, I bet;)
I didn't write "poopie" but something else !
It seems TB has an automatic censor when it comes to standard swear words. It can be pretty funny sometimes. :laugh:

Well Idk if this lines up, but I agree amber/yellow/orange/gold figured finish with black hardware is awesome.
Although to be fair, the paint on the 2tek bridge has been totally worn off over the years. I thought about trying to paint it black again but I have no idea what paint to use. Any suggestions?

I wonder if powder coating it would work .

Ballin , are you selling your Q4? Or did I read an old classified ?
Which one? I've got two.
Link to the ad? It's not my posting but it could be one of the ones I bought.

An early disclosure though, I might be selling one or two of my moddys in the near future to help recoup expenses from a big bass purchase I'm hoping to make in the next week. If it goes through, I will be selling either one or likely both of these:
So if any of y'all are interested, of course you guys in the mob can get the first crack. The sunburst vj4 is fretless and will be the first to go. It also has the most stunning finish I've ever seen, the pic barely does it justice. I'll give any mob members an extra nice price on it if you're interested. The turbo (the Pegasus of my basses) is still a maybe, but in all honesty I'll probably have to sell it if I make this deal. Pm me if you are interested in either one, first come first serve. The fretless is available immediately if someone wants it.
