Oteil's Custom Modulus

[primusfan1989]

Oteil's new custom Modulus, I can decide whether I love it or hate it but Its nice to see a design thats not a "fender"

Prince would be proud.

Not feeling that rod sticking out of the arm connecting to his strap. Doesn't look comfortable.

 

[onda'bass]

It’s a no from me

 

[RattleSnack]

Yeah, doesn't look too comfortable with that purple edge poking his manboob. He is a player, not a superstar like Prince used to be, so I don't think he'll stay long with that guitar.

IDK, if he likes it and has a gig that will allow him to use it (The Dead seem to give him a lot of freedom to do his thing...as they should because he's one of the best out there IMHO) I don't see him putting it down.

 

[RattleSnack]

Sure, who knows. To me, it looks more like a prop than players instrument. Can you imagine leaving that lovely Fodera at home and bringing this?

 

[bubba-b]

i read online that it took modulus three years to complete the bass. so if that included a lot of back-and-forth between oteil and modulus, then i'd assume oteil is with this bass for the long run..

but, yeah, that upper 'horn' on the bass would bother me to no end...

Sounds pretty good in the videos from the Dead & Co. tour.

Love me some Moduli.

Nobody’s gonna mention the neckdive preventing unicorn horn?

 

[scuzzy]

I dig it. I like it fast and I like it weird.

He played that thing for like 3 days and went back to his modulus almost immediately

It started with the third post.

I was trying to come up with some kind of clever rhyme for it, but I got nothing.
Ankh plank?

[J_Bass]

Nope.

 

[petrus61]

To be fair, it’s his bass and not ours. It doesn’t really matter if we like it or not.

Not my thing but if that's what he really wants, awesome.
