Let us know how it sounds. I'm curious to know if they sound like the originals.

 

[0175westwood29]

was looking at getting a warwick 5er but after looking at it, ive decided to go down a route that i know!

i love my fb4 so im gonna be getting a 5 string version.

but im thinking of going down a slightly different route, probs get the 0BP-3 instead of the 0BP-1 pre amp.

but mainly i want to know what people would recommend for pickup/s I like the idea of having the j type pups in it, but ive just seen on there gallery shots that it looks like you can have a mm and j setup which would be cool! as i love the sd basslines pickup i have in my fb4.

color wise im thinking of the pic below!

so what would you guys go for preamp and pickups wise?

ok this pickup sounds much better than the bassline pickup that was in there ...its like there is alot more depth ...if you know what i mean ....and yes it sounds as good as it looks...i would recommend this pickup to everyone

any one put emg's in there mody's?

any one put emg's in there mody's?

While I would figure so, it'd seem odd that they'd be put there after the fact (considering how you stated your question). EMGs can be installed at the Modulus shop, so plenty are out there with them already. Are you inquiring as to if someone swapped out Barts or LPs for EMGs?

Some people thing Modulus basses sound sterile, and hold the same opinion about EMG pickups, but neither are absolutes. Even the pairing of both does not pigeon hole the sound into the "clinical" sound zone. Though, tbh, that combo is certainly happy to deliver a hi-fi sound, it is still flexible, reliable, and economical.

I just want to say, I respect you guys immensely now. Yesterday at the Cinci GTG I played 3 Moduli. Well, they were the best playing basses I have ever played. Period.

And thats everything including Fbass, Sadowsky, Roscoe, Fodera, etc.

So, congrats to you guys! I plan to save for a Modulus this summer, it was the most amazing bass I have ever played.
