Modulus Mob

[rockstarbassist]

I had no idea they made them?

 

[IdealWay]

Yea, they sell them on the Modulus website and have different sets for Fleas and Quantums. I would assume they're badass, like their basses, but some input would be nice.

modulus strings are made by d'addairio (checked this out in 2002) they may have changed

AFAIK they come stock with D'Addairios and have for some time now.

My last 2 new ones had them but I had the shop (of course) swap them out for my precious DR's...

not balanced across the neck : too much tension in the highs... i stick with DR Hi Beam

MTD 6 string sets are sold at www.ThePerfectBass.com They are nickel and fit just fine on my Q6.

Q-5 flametop here. Affectionately known as the Bichtone in honor of the ex-wife who gave it to me when we were married.

New Q4
________________________________________
Sorry for taking so long to post photos of my new Q4.
Ordered it from "The Perfect Bass" here in BR. Took 6 mo. to come in, then another 2 mo. for the inlay. And it was worth the wait.

Here are the photos and specs:

*Modulus Quantum 4 tuned B-E-A-D.
*5A quilted maple top on alder core body.
*Color: black cherry burst.
*Bartolini pickups.
*Aguliar OBP-3 preamp.
*Phenolic fingerboard.
------------------------------------------------------------
*Alligator inlay done by Larry Robinson in California.
Here's his web-site: http://www.robinsoninlays.com/ He's fantastic, and a great guy to work with.
*Alligator & cattle egret are several different types of shells including: abalone, mother of pearl, brown lip & pink muscle.
*Cyprus trees are: mahogany, cocobolo, wenge & sycamore.
*Water lily, flower, reed & branches are: red abalone.
*Moss is: dyed wood.
*Water is: silver dust.

*Side neck markers are: cubic zirconia (CZs)

And it plays and sounds as good as it looks.
I'm a very happy camper for now.

That is freaking scha-weet!!

I think killer inlays are underrated. That is just amazing.

Thanks Jason... It's taken many years of buying/selling and trading up to get the gear that I currently have.

Are we a niche instrument? I mean I cannot get any offers for my Q6, while the lakland guys have to beat 'em off with a stick. Truly depressing
