Hi all

Trimming the herd down. Up for sale is my super duper whizzbanging Modulus Q5 with FretFx side LEDs. I've played and gigged this a lot, but now need the cash. I love this bass.

[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Made in 2001. [/font][/color][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]24 frets, 35" scale, 17.5mm spacing at the bridge, though this is adjustable. [/font][/color][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Hipshot 'A' Bridge; [/font][/color][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Modulus/Gotoh[/font][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif] GB350 tuners. Dunlop Straploks. Carbon fibre neck with truss rod. 9.5 pounds on the bathroom scales.[/font][/color]

[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Electronics package is EMG 40DC pickups wired up to 18v John East U-Retro preamp. Absolutely killer; the bass boost on this gets insane if you want it to and huge output from the preamp. Controls are bass/treble, mid with variable mid, pickup pan, and volume. 'Bright' pull switch on the treble pot. Many many varied tones; I've used it on many styles of gig. Slap is awesome, as you'd expect. [/font][/color]

I fitted blue FretFx side LEDs ([url="https://fretfx.com/"]https://fretfx.com/[/url]) which is a completely removable mod with no permanent effects. It turns on by flipping the battery in the battery compartment behind the headstock around and off by reversing the battery again. Made it easier for me in dark rooms. I took a couple of pics with the system off and on to show what it looks like; kind of awkward, but you'll get the idea.

Setup is medium to low; I imagine others might want to raise it, but I play with a light touch. D'Addario XL Nickels.

I've taken a ton of photos to show the quilt pattern and colour. There are two small dings on the front; one just south of the stacked electronics pots, and another just south of the end of the fretboard. These are shown in pics. Small.

The case has been around a lot, and has quite a few cracks and dings. Latches work perfectly and it functions fine, but it's had plenty of use.

Price is[s] [b]£2000 + shipping[/b].[/s][b] Price drop - £1800 + shipping[/b]. I'll ship insured and tracked anywhere. No trades, thanks kindly. NOW SOLD.

SOLD.
