Modulus Mob

Here's a long shot, but Richard Stanley up in Massachusetts was one of the *only* guys who could do a graphite/phenolic refret without breaking a sweat back in the late 80s, and from what I've heard he's still one of the go-to repair guys in New England
Seeing as I now live in MA, I should take note of this guy. No telling when I'll need a job done, although I'm good for now.
 
So I'm going to change my Gotohs to Hipshot USA ultralites. It's more of a cosmetic difference, as the gotohs are res-o-lites, which if I took a better picture, you would be able to see.

Selling the resolites? Pm me

I haven't decided yet, but as of now, no. Might hang on to them in case I get a 6.

Sweet man. I'd love to see how they look on a Quantum. Snap pics when it's done!

Is there a reason you're changing the tuners? I've never had neck dive issues with a Quantum.

Mostly just for the look (which no one but me will notice). I think the gotohs might actually be a tad lighter, but this is a light bass, so a few ounces won't kill me.

Wanted to get some opinions on phenolic vs wood (chechen, rosewood) fretboards on a Q5. For those that have experienced both, what are the pros and cons of each? Which do you like more and why? Any feedback would be much appreciated.

For Sale - 1993 Modulus Sweet Spot Five-String Bass 50 plus shipping/ins.

i'm a bit befuddled. i don't remember gould-era moduli having an option of a wooden fingerboard or a matching peghead. thoughts? maybe a replacement neck when the original went belly-up? still wouldn't explain the serial #.

inquiring minds would like to know...

Just a custom job like this SOLD - 1994 Modulus Quantum 4 Special Order...Mint Condition...95 shipped

I've seen a few with wood fretboards from that era.
