Is that a 4 string neck on a 5 string body?

That is a sweet bass...'tis a shame about the missing string.

My sediments, exactly!

^^ I was being facetious Doc.

Sorry, deadly serious is my default response mode.

 

[JRA]

"Selling other 30+ basses"

Suuuuuuuch click-bait….

Nice bass!
Wow! I have not seen a 2-Tek bridge since this beastie made its debut in '95:

I took my Q5 to band rehearsal last night. I hadn't played it for a few months. I went through a few pickup/electronics changes from EMG P/J with EMG BT preamp to EMG DC/DC with EMG BQC to finally Lane Poor Wide Apertures on both pickups with a Lane Poor preamp. Tone controls are passive. The preamp just makes things a bit louder but doesn't change the tone when I switch to passive.

Keep that Modulus forever!

Rotosound strings for sure. Give us all an update in 3 months as to how much you love the bass. I have had some very nice graphite basses over the years, but have never stuck with them. Tonally, the sound of plastic just does not satisfy my ears like the sound of wood. It will be interesting if you come to the same conclusion once you have lived with it for a while. My advice...Do not sell your other instruments

 

[jnottoli]

Mmmm, mmmm tasty!

I like. You didn't say, but early '90s vintage?

And 35 inch scale?

Didn't D'adario color-code many of their strings?

I like Lane Poors - I have 2 sets in instruments and two put away for some day.

Ruler-flat sound (for better or worse). The wood, the build, the pre, your amp, your fingers, etc. affect the tone - not those pickups.

Those look like Rotosound Swing Bass 66 Stainless Steels. No idea what gauges, though.

EDIT: Wait... Are they flats? If so, Rotosound Jazz 77.

Yep, Rotosound Swing Bass 66. All I use.

Not surprised by this report. These sweet spot turbos are coming back strong that Gould is now offering that option on his basses.

 

[ryco]

That headstock is downright COOL!!
Too bad somebody scuffed up the back of the neck so bad
