Modulus Mob

[Sgt007]

Someone posted a photo of the tuners off the neck...I should have done that...it's hollow, and there is (I think from what I could make out) a wood dowel inserted inside, where the screws lightly screw into. They just hold it in place, the top tuner nut is what makes it tight.

could be wrong about the 'wood' dowel...but there is something that the screw seats into.

So those tuner screws go into threaded inserts?

Not on any of my Moduli (1993, 2001, 2002). On mine, they're just like any other bass, tiny wood screws. Not really a big deal, they don't have to be super secure; they're just there to keep the tuner from rotating in the headstock.

Added new tuners to the Quantum...what do you think about this look? Totally reversible if it looks bad. View attachment 3363174

What’s it look like from the front? Did you get a matching bridge?

The headstocks on mine are hollow, but the carbon fiber is about 3/16" thick which is about as deep as those little screws go. Just like when you have this style tuner on a wood neck, you only want to tighten these screws until they are just tight, you don't want to really crank on them 'cause they'll either strip the hole out or break off.

I've gone with a black bridge and gold saddles to match. As soon as it arrives in the mail I'll install and upload a few photos. Then we'll really see if it look like cheese or not hahaha.

Here's what it will look like with the two-tone black-gold.

Black and Gold is always a beautiful look. Dark Royal. Rothschild.

Hmm... yeah, i think we’ll have to wait and see. I can picture it, but not sure if I like it. Gold hardware is very hit or miss for me... most importantly though is if you like it

 

[Sgt007]

Yeah, gold...hit and miss for me too, for sure. Thought I'd tone it down combining black parts with the gold...but well see after everything is together. Just trying something different. If it looks like queso fresco all can be changed back. My problem is I like a new look on my basses every now and then. I've got 4 pickgaurds for my 62avri pbass lol. oh well...

 

[Modulus 96]

IMO that combo is looking good so far!

Maybe it's the Mike Gordon thing. They were willing to build me a similar TBX5 last year for under $8K.

 

[Sgt007]

There is a support dowel within the headstock that the tuner screw seats in. Thought I'd throw this up here since I had the tuner off (someone asked in an earlier post).
