show your MODULUS!

Wrong, NONE of the Modulus necks have truss rods, nor are they needed. The newer ones have "relief rods" which you can change the amount of bow, but Modulus is very careful NOT to call them truss rods, and will tell you straight up that they do nothing for stability. They're not needed. I've owned 6 Modulus basses, 5 without the rod, gigged tons with them, and never had any problems whatsoever. They are as stable as it gets. Nothing to even give a second thought to IMO.

I picked this up from Bass NW yesterday, hopefully I'll take some better pics later today.

Bubingba top, Aggie pre, Bart pickups, phenolic fingerboard. This thing SINGS!

Except for the fact that the tone is graphite.

I LOVE that green Mod! It's actually an M92-4, not a Quantum. I have an M92-5, and also thought it was a Quantum Sweetspot. The M92s were Mod's attempt at a lower-priced Quantum, but the top-routing and lack of a fancy top didn't seem to go over too well. Either way, I LOVE that one! If it was a 5er, you'd have a cash offer waiting in your PMs!
Here's my M92-5:

BTW, is it an illusion of the photo, or are your bottom two knobs stacked sets?

I'm assuming those pics are from the website, who knows when they were taken. If he was there recently I would like to know some details on the Aggie stuff they have on the floor. Like I said- 4 hour drive one way. I really want to hear some Aguilar amps in person though.

Those pics were taken about 2 weeks ago, and those two 112 cabs are still there. In answer to your question, Bass NW is definately worth a 4 hour drive if you've never been there. They always have some Aguilar stuff; They actually just got a used DB750 and a 210 in the store.
