Modulus Mob

I'm not aware of Pat doing any MG finishes. Certainly there could have been some after '95. For maximum effect, you'd have to totally remove the clear finish first.

I could be mistaken about that. But yes, it'd have to be stripped and then refinished. Well above my pay grade

does anyone use flats on their quantum? I cant deal with finger noise of rounds and may be bored of my chromes. I tried the slick rounds but kept getting bad b and e strings, and no pop with the slap of the e string

I tried them for a while. I didn't care for them all that much.

I like the sound of TI Flats on the 95 Q4. But I prefer flats on everything. And you have to get the Extra Long Scale, which are harder to find.

 

[drewphishesp]

I have chromes on them now and they sound good but was thinkg about the ernie ball cobalt flats.

Theyre just long scales, at least w the chromes long scale size works

currently have a modulus with the 2 band emg pre amp in it. Wondering how many more tonal options I will have by adding the 3 band bqc system. Or will it even be that noticeable? I have an eden amp with a parametric mid eq but dont usually use it that much

 

[iriegnome]

I like my mid sweep. I use it a lot when I use different amps or on house rigs. Comes in real handy

Good to see, for someone who says they can't pay it looks like beautiful hand positioning and keeping on eye on the guitar players solo. I have gotten I lot of you posts, and taking this pic to thank my brother from the band of Moduli.

I saw my buddy (and fellow tb’er) getting ready to take the picture, so I struck a pose

is this cocobolo or another wood that is similar?



Modulus Graphite Quantum 2005 Gloss Natural | The Bass Shop

the listing is from the folks at the bass shop in seattle. also mentions that the body is ash but it looks like alder to me. the weight posted on the ad is almost 10lbs. (my alder bodies are around 9lbs. and my one bass with an ash body is 10lbs.)

just curious. no funds to chase this bird but it looks nice. what say you?

The top looks like cocobolo to me. I think the grain is too wide to be alder on the body wood. I could be wrong, but nothing from that listing seemed out of place to me.

In light of Mr. Gould's answer below, I am making a few minor edits to my reply, above.

definitely alder back. I don't know 100%, but I would guess something like chechen for the top wood. I'm not a chechen expert, but they were using it back then, and had moved away from cocabola. It just doesn't have that red element I expect in cocabola.

yes, i think that was confusing my brain. the top of the bass pictured looked a bit more 'brown' in my eyes if that makes any sense.

here's a q6 with a chechen top:

kinda similar, no?

Ooh, looks nice! With both my birthday and Christmas coming up soonish, I might look into checking it out! It’s relatively local.

What I don't get is the whole "Street price starting at $$$ New" thing. Really? Posted on Reverb, those 12 of us out there shopping for Modulus' everyday know what they are new, used, beat up, aged and everything else. Sorry for the rant. Nice looking bass though.. I need a 5 string Q cheap enough to replace the fretboard with a Maple board and add LED lights to it!!

EDIT - pnutz or Fred.. DO NOT STEAL MY IDEA.. or I am going to have to wait until you sell it to buy it from you

I like phenolic or chechen boards on my Q5’s... and i would only want LEDS or luminlay (glow in the dark) markets on the side- like the clean front
