Modulus Mob

[Groove7]

This is the only bass I own and the only bass I have ever purchased. Arguably I waited to long, but have been very pleased. The more research I did, the more picky I became. As you modulus owners know, the Quantum delivers phenomenally. My Q6 is gorgeous with the flame maple top and timeliness all black hardware. I love the tone. It is solid, deep, growly, and punchy all at the same time. I usually run the pick-up balance slightly to the bridge pickup for fingerstyle, and balanced with both pickups for an incredible slap tone. I am fortunate to have this bass! Can I get a Modulus Mob number? Thanks!

Here is my Modulus Q6 Year is 2001. I also would like to say a great bass and has cheken fingerboard, Bart 3 band Eq. with Gold hardware. Can I also have a number.....

 

[MarTONEbass]

mmmmmmm Chechen fingerboard!

Welcome to the mob #77 JerryD !

I second that....mmmmmmmm Chechen...

I have never had the priveledge to play a Modulus with a wooden board. Can anyone describe the difference? Also, is it possible to upgrade to a wooden fingerboard or would it be best to sell my ownright and buy a different bass (this would be a hard thing for me to do).

 

[MarTONEbass]

The Chechen board really smooths out the tone IME. Makes the high end a little less harsh naturally. Tames the inherent zing of the graphite neck.

Prolly can't upgrade unless you can buy a new neck.

Really unique figuring on that maple top, it's fantastic.

Ahhhh...how right and insightful you are! I have been gassing for a 4 string. I may have found the answer to GAS (try before you buy). I keep going to music stores and playing basses and am almost always disappointed that none of the basses have that magical quality. Then I go home an play my Q6 and love it! That's the sound in my head that I have been looking for. I just would like to find it in a 34 inch scale and a 4 string model. As long as I am getting another bass, I keep thinking I should get something with a wood board and more vintage looking. The search continues...or maybe I'll just have 1 horse in the stable...

I've always loved the logo inlay but geez! Way too rich for my blood!

I've always loved the logo inlay

I've always hated that logo inlay...which is good, because it's the only thing that's prevented me from bidding on some otherwise gorgeous (and really freakin' expensive) basses!

But day-um that TBX is hot!

Well, if you do get your hands on a Q5 with one, I'll trade you fingerboards!

I talked with the guy who is selling it. He is a member here too, so I would not be supprised if that little gem showed up on our boards. I think it is way over priced, though

No bids... maybe it will turn up in the classifieds here.

I'd like a number please!

Been lurking for a while, seems like a great community!

Here is my Modulus Sonic Hammer. It originally had a Bart pickup but around 2004 I found a Lane Poor and dropped it in. With the prices they have been going for lately and the fact that I have a little one on the way I sold it on eBay and am in the process of putting a Nordstrand MM4.2 in it now with a series/parallel push pull pot.

i got screwed over years ago by a seller named tim ***** on ebay for a beautiful 4 string TBX. I won the auction, got a money order right away, woke up the next morning to an email saying that he wasnt sure I wanted it so he relisted it and it sold instantly. TOtal BS as there was no other completed listing but my own.

I still think about that bass all the time acttually. It was a 4 string TBX with EMGs and with a swamp ash back and dark red finish on the body and the next.

The bass that got away.

Its a shame because the guy is a TBer and Im pretty sure he has the bass that he screwed me over on.

Who is this culprit? Maybe we should know who this TBer is so we know to be careful of possible dealing with him.
