  1. Forgot to add...the great Mr Stuart Zender was on bass then...white Warwick Streamer with incredible blue laser LEDs care of my 'ol mate Mr SimS!! Stuart started the riff in the pitch black with only the LEDs shining through the darkness in the concert hall. Fab!! Ciao Ian [quote name='SMART' post='975089' date='Oct 2 2010, 04:06 PM']But the music is good (if you like it you does, if you don't...well that's how subjective music can be or not to be...that is the question). Live they are absolutely killer...saw then at a charity gig at Battersea Power Station...digeridoo an 'al. Ciao Ian[/quote]

Ciao Ian [quote name='squire5' post='974873' date='Oct 2 2010, 12:05 PM']Please tell me if I'm wrong.The band is Jamiroquai,the singer is Jay Kay.Right??Why do presenters refer to HIM as Jamiroquai..Jools Holland did it last night...."And now,the man who opened the show,Jamiroquai!!! They are being portrayed as HIS backing band,as in HE'S Jamiroquai,they're just a bunch of musos got together for the show. Youda thought HE would have said something.I mean it's not the first time I've heard this. I may be wrong,but I don't think I am. Rant over!!! [/quote]
  3. Hiya We're having a summer clear out and the DB728 will become available if this is still of interest? We may also have some cool Glock gear as well. Ciao Ian SMART: I too would have made an offer on that 728 so, please, keep me posted if it comes available. (This was my thread initially, curse you joegarcia!) GremlinAndy [/quote]
  4. [quote name='dos dedos' post='768371' date='Mar 8 2010, 07:21 PM']Modulus did a purple metallic Flea bass but a ) they don't make them anymore, and b ) they were probably more than £300 So, uh... that probably wasn't very helpful really! ^_^[/quote] Yes they do...the Modulus Funk Unlimited and it's still available in a glorious purple big flake finish...and it's quite a bit more than 300 nicker. Hope that helps! Ciao Ian
  5. You do know we import Glock? Ciao Ian
  6. We suffered a 14% price rise last Feb/March with Modulus and with the exchange rates being what they are compared to 18 months ago this pushes up the price to end-users here in the UK unfortunately. The same effect will be felt and experienced on price rises and currency exchange rates if anyone decides to make a personal import from the USA not forgetting the import duty and good 'ol VAT back at 17.5%! Ciao Ian
  7. Next time we'll try that route as well... Happy selling! Ciao Ian [quote name='molan' post='706434' date='Jan 9 2010, 12:01 PM']Good shout Michael - I hadn't quite thought through that route![/quote]
  8. [quote name='wateroftyne' post='706321' date='Jan 9 2010, 09:50 AM']I know who you are Ian, and I don't doubt your intentions, but - with respect - it doesn't make you exempt from the rules.[/quote] Dear All I apologise as I thought with the opening of the thread the author was looking to get feelers out for his offer and so commented accordingly. Must brush up on my forum etiquette...but seriously I do apologise, me heart before me head on this one. Ciao Ian
  9. [quote name='wateroftyne' post='706305' date='Jan 9 2010, 09:35 AM']Isn't this a PM thing...?[/quote] If you look at any of my previous entries like this most on the forum know who I am; seeing the comments and price being looked for meant as a member of the forum I have a responsibility in helping get the price being asked in proper perspective when for a 5 year old instrument which should be in everyone's interest, surely?? Just trying to help for the right reasons without any cynical blatant commercialism behind it... Ciao Ian
  10. That' s beautiful example of a Modulus J bass but you are quite mistaken to say you guess it's discontinued as it is still part of the range on offer from the carbon fiber wizards from Novato California and built to custom order. To help potential buyers UK get this in perspective the price you are offering seems quite high in Sterling almost a retail price, did you buy it from Europe or direct from the USA as our base price for a new instrument including Modulus case would be around £1675.00?? Ciao Ian
  11. They were/are (depending on your perspective in time) great pickups but the Seymour Duncan Basslines MM pickup made only for the Modulus Flea/Funk Unlimited Bass is a copy of the original Lane Poor pickup that Modulus asked Seymeour Duncan to make after Lane Poor went sadly out of biz... There's a lot of hype and voodoo/mystique about the original Lane Poors which can get to be a tad OTT so I would just honestly advise people to bear this in mind as the current MM pickup for the Modulus bass is as good as and a lot less expensive than the pre-owned Lane Poors being touted around. But if a Lane Poor is what is wanted...the choice (very limited!) is always there. Ciao Ian [quote name='Marcus' post='685740' date='Dec 15 2009, 09:26 PM']OMG...... Can't believe that didn't get higher bids.... I've hear of Lane Poor MM pickups going for $500 !!! Mark[/quote]
  12. Could not resist responding to this one...most of our sales of this bass are due to the bass being what it is and not just the fact that it was the Modulus Flea bass and continue to be so. Flea was with Modulus for approximately 10 years, people move on, it was not a falling out of either of the two parties with each other. It's still our best selling bass since the end of the endorsement because it is an instrument that can cover most genres of music you care to throw at it. So...not a dramatic public pulling away from Modulus, just the end of the endorsement deal 'cos he wanted to start up his new project with his new lower price point bass which he wanted to call the Flea Bass. It's that simple really...so the Modulus Flea had to change to the Funk Unlimited and now you have the new bass from Flea called the Flea Bass. Simples! Just received a new order from a guy for a Modulus Funk Unlimited J5 because he really liked the shape of the body as well as the other features this bass offers not because it was the Flea bass. Ciao Ian [quote name='Buzz' post='684745' date='Dec 15 2009, 12:38 AM']You do realise it ended on the 13th right? That's seriously cheap for a Lane Poor fitted Flea Bass, but I think it's both a casulty of the recession and the fact Flea publically pulled away from Modulus.[/quote]

  14. Hi Andy Most of the basses Modulus produce are Q5s. The best coverage tone-wise for practically any genre of music we have sold is a Q5 equipped with Bartolinis and an Aguilar preamp. Monster sound and tone to die for... When we do get them in stock they go quickly as currently there is a 15-18 week lead-time on all new builds as Modulus make only to order and unfortunately no longer carry finished stock that we can call upon at short notice. If you need any further advice please ask.

  15. Not sure if you've missed the postings on the Eminence bass here on Basschat under S.M.A.R.T Distribution. Please see our affiliate section. See our web pages as well for further information and links: [url="http://www.smart-distribution.co.uk/bassandguitar/eminence/eminencebass.html"]http://www.smart-distribution.co.uk/bassan...inencebass.html[/url] We have a lot of jazzer, country and blue grass players who have been over the moon with this instrument, especially the 4-string removable neck version. I attach a customer review that might also be helpful. Any questions please feel free to ask. Ciao Ian
