It’s times like these I wish I had a job.

Hey guys - anyone have recommendations for a nice gig bag for my TBX5?

I use a Mono Vertigo with the boot for my Q6. They are pricey but I have grown to love being able to keep the bag standing up right and putting the bass in that way.

well I switched out the stock Gotoh Modulus badged tuners for Res-o-lites, and I'm pretty impressed. There's a lot less neck dive, and I think the res-o-lites are better constructed (the posts are more substantial, and don"t wiggle).

I just switched mine out as well. Yes a noticeable difference. And yes the posts are like twice the size. My biggest mistake was replacing the bridge with a Hipshot SOLID BRASS one, ouch i added weight there I didn't know it came with aluminum when I got it in 2004.

I did that on my Genesis 5er... oops...

Most people say Brass is a superior and makes for a great bridge so I tell that to myself every time I lift it off the stand

Wow, no words for that one, from the Godfather of Graphite himself. Cheers to you. One day I want you to build me one of your new 5'rs with a Coco top.

That's the bass that first got me super-excited about getting a Modulus and led to my calling Geoff in 1988 to order my first 6-string!

 

[iriegnome]

Wow. Just plain wow

Hi Geoff, quick question i thought you may know. Were there any Wide spacing 5 string TBX basses made? Had someone inquire about my TBX and ask this question.

thanks

 

[GeoffGould]

I don't remember any, but that's not to say it never happened as outpatient surgery!

There was the pink over blue 5 string that was in Australia, I think that was one of the last before the bankruptcy...

Check out my new TBX. Modulus Quantum QW5-19TBX. Pink over blue. This bass is the best thing I have ever bought! I have hardly played any of my other basses since I got it.

Quick update regarding my TBX 5. Pat Wilkins was able to polish the neck back to gloss. It should arrive on Wednesday! I can't wait to get my hands on it... I do have a question for you guys. The bass was made in 1989. It certainly looks like a TBX, but I read somewhere that Modulus didn't officially start using the TBX designation until '92. Can anyone confirm this? And if it's not a TBX, then what is it?!
