    Hi guys, I'm not sure if this is breaking the rules by asking, but moderators feel free to delete if you need. I'm not trying to sell my Modulus Quantum 6 on here, but I am not sure what asking price I would put on it if I did. The bass is a 1990 Modulus Quantum 6, EMG pickups and preamp/EQ, Kahler fixed bridge, not sure of the woods but the top is beautiful - somekind of flamed/quilted maple.
    Here are some pictures. Any help would be great. Mods - sorry if this is against the rules.

    Beautiful bass! I am no expert, but I would guess around $2000.

    Doesn't look like many of the Quantums are moving on eBay. This one is a little older than the others. I'd put the value at around $1400.

    Depending on the condition of the bass, I'd estimate that you could get $1400-$1800 for it, easily.

    Pretty much perfect condition besides a small ding probably 1/3 the size of my little finger nail... No scratching and just the odd less than mm in diameter ding.

    I bought my 98 Q6 on ebay for $1500 a couple of years ago. Quilt maple top, Barts, 3-band, both a Modulus hard case and gig bag.

    I think mine was a little undervalued but I think that the 6's in general go for a little less than the 5-string counterparts. These days I'd think that $1400-ish is reasonable. Maybe a little more? But I wouldn't hold your breath for $2000.

    Times are tough, $1,400-$1,600 seems about right. Asking price should be a little higher. I've never seen that "modulus" font...neat!
