Modulus Mob

Just one Question...Why oh why, do Modulus offer a Gig Bag that doesnt fit a bass... ???UH.. they dont make guitars... im totally baffled..

they do make guitars.
bob weir model. Might be their only one. they used to make the blackknife which was a bob weir model as well.

errr...Im not sure if they still make them but it's a recent history so it makes sense to see gig bags.
 
har :D I just put D'add 170s on my Mod and the high end is outrageous. It is a full range instrument for sure!
When I pick I normally use a metal pick but it is absolutely too much so I use a graphite or typical fender but I, and thankfully my bandmates, LOVE Phil Lesh's high end tone.
 
I just ask for a quote on a modulus vj at planetbass.

I first asked for a quote on a neck but i wasn't sure if the neck would perfectly fit my fender body.

There are not a lot of reviews about the VJ. Anyone of you have comment or suggestions?

Hère are the specs i was thinking about:
Black body, white pearloid pg
Composite neck and fretboard
Fretted, bartolini pickups
Obp-1 preamp

Thanks for your help

You mean like this (without the preamp)?

:D

It was a great bass but I got tired of wiping off fingerprints. I sold the loaded body and put the neck on a Fender MIJ P body with no problems. I've got another bass composed of a VJ neck on a Signature jazz body. That one had a bit of a gap in the neck pocket and required a neck shim but nothing too bad. The neck should fit any standard Fender neck pocket.
 
I dream of having this bass, hopefully sooner rather than later. Anyone know if its possible to find one with the same exact colour finish(velvet black cherry i think), hardware and electronics?

Is that from planetbass? they have insanely good gas-inducing photo skills.

watch ebay...there's a dude named equipmant or some such who comes up w/an amazing amount of Mods. really curious as to how he does it...not implying anything...

i tracked down his photobucket acct and he must have had 30 mods in there. talk about gas!

I just ordered that same color Modulus. But now I'm torn between the Velvet Black Cherry finish and the Sienna finish.
