At this point it might be worth looking at the used market to find what you want. If you can't get a new one, then a used one might be the only option.

All of us current Modulus owners waiting for those used prices to go up more 
I don't really think they can go up anymore. The sentiment is that they are already quite elevated.All of us current Modulus owners waiting for those used prices to go up more

Sounds like what perspective Wal buyers said few years back.
Who knows, but they jumped quite a bit after Modulus 1.0 was done (Not implying anything, hopefully this is NOT the case w/ version 2.0).
I don't know why people are whining about Modulus Graphite raising there prices, I mean they are priced up there with every other high-end boutique bass builder, if anything Fodera & Alembic for example are even more expensive so and besides Tony from Planet Bass basically invested into Modulus to get them back on there feet and I'm sure that was no cheap undertaking in itself. Last I heard Modulus was getting close to 2 or 3 year backlog so I'm guessing they are doing well as far as business is concerned, so I guess those high prices everybody are whining about apparently aren't effecting there business, I'd like to possibly get a brand new TBX 6 but waiting there backlog I could be dead by then!!!!
I keep an eye out on the used market here in Europe and I've noticed some Modulii priced at current rates which just aren't selling. It's a shame because some of them are in pristine condition.
I love my Modulus and haven't ever considered selling it but the market doesn't seem to support the current used prices.

Wow. Nice looking one. I need another bass like I need a hole in my head, otherwise I would be very interested. You don’t find many Quantum 4s.
Not sure if you all caught the Mod Mob on FB... Someone is letting a matched pair of the Monocoque 6 and 4 string instruments go... I believe they are asking $3800 each..

I was very excited earlier. I took my 1997 VJ w/ EMG's & tuned to C#, plugged into my SansAmp DP-3X through my normal rig (Eden WT-300 & SWR 2x12) and damn, I couldn't put it down. I must have had this bass for 3 or 4 yrs now but never tuned it that low which is weird since one of the bands I was in in the 90's C# was our normal tuning. Anyway, it was almost like getting a new bass today (almost) 
Anyone use their Modulus 4 string tuned C# F# B E? I was curious what brand/gauge strings you run. I have a 1997 VJ and just have a 45-105 set tuned down to C# but wanted to try the 50-110 but I'm not sure if I can run those without having to modify the nut. Any recommendations appreciated.
I used to run a La Bella Jameson set (52-110) on a factory VJ nut without issue
I'm running my Quantum tuned ADGCF (so half a step higher than yours) and I was running a .110 without touching the nut and it was fine. I eventually went up to a .120 and it needed modification though.
