    [quote name='molan' post='170585' date='Apr 6 2008, 09:12 AM']Blimey, they were about £1,500 last time I looked, which was years ago to be fair, but I've seen dealers selling second hand ones for £1,100 without a case. I've just done a quick web search and the only one I could find for sale was a used one in blue at £1,095. Where did you see them for £1,250?[/quote] Colonel Foster known for his thoroughness simply checked the price on Modulus' UK distributors website: www.smart-distribution.co.uk It's listed on the official Modulus site as well as SHADO Control have just verified for me myself. SHADO procurement advise starting with the UK list price when looking to move a pre-owned instrument and then take off at least 30-40% depending on condition, etc. They also advise me that this is a 1997 model from the serial number on the back of the headstock.

    [quote name='molan' post='170334' date='Apr 5 2008, 04:14 PM']Price dropped to £950. . . . .[/quote] Colonel Foster checked the UK prices on a new Modulus VJ4 and said that a new one would be £1250 including Modulus case and delivery. Looking at the spec SHADO Control thinks £950 is a bit close to a new instrument price for a twice owned instrument?

    [quote name='BigBassBob' post='127199' date='Jan 24 2008, 07:12 PM']I prefered the blue flake to be honest. Now if they did one in a purple flake i'd be sorely tempted [/quote] "Lieutenant Ellis, that's a great idea from BigBassBob, wouldn't a purple flake Modulus Flea bass be fab with our hair..."

    Ed Straker says: 'SHADO Control report that Sky 1 shot down a UFO over the Pacific Ocean west of Los Angeles leaving the Anaheim area the location of the 2008 NAMM Show' SHADO Control: 'The SHADO Mobiles sent to the scene where it crash landed near San Francisco, discovered the latest version of the Modulus Flea bass amongst the wreckage, it being protected by its Modulus hard case. The aliens must have been attracted to its new orange flake finish; they must really 'dig' Flea!' "Issue a security alert to protect the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Flea could be their next kidnap target!' Ed Straker: 'Gee...that's would be a great new finish for my car!'

    [quote name='99ster' post='113653' date='Jan 4 2008, 05:35 PM']Can I ask where you got yours from please Andy? I already have a DTR2000 in my rack - then I got a Peterson VS-1 for set-ups (2nd hand on eBay from Roger Sadowsky of all people!) - but it's so good that I'm VERY tempted to replace the Korg with a Strobrack.[/quote] Caption: "We know you have the best equipment for the job at Moonbase so we've come to ask if we can borrow your Peterson StrobRacks for our band rehearsal at our base..."

    [quote name='6stringbassist' post='112254' date='Jan 2 2008, 01:10 PM']That's what I hate about sites like this, you're nice and happy with your set up and sound etc, then someone goes and throws a spanner in the works and posts a link like that...only joking, that thread on channel strips is really interesting, thanks for posting it.[/quote] Ed Straker says: "An analysis of your equipment list confirms you appreciate high quality products. Another spanner, if I may, in the works - have you considered the preamps and power amps from probably one of the pre-eminent solid state bass amplification specialists in Germany, Glockenklang; if you are looking at Kern, Demeter et al then Glock products should really be on your short list."

Coool!" [/quote] Caption: "Look at that cool KLD pattern with the carbon fiber layers, you won't find any other neck like it!"

    [quote name='stingrayfan' post='104868' date='Dec 16 2007, 10:53 AM']No sense in buying a vintage Fender if you want to get away from earth hum and dodgy electrics. Try something more modern: a Stingray, Warwick, G&L L2000. Lots of people swear by the Lakland jazzes here - maybe try one of those.[/quote] Ed Straker says: "Check out the new prices on a new Modulus Flea, start at £1395. Colonel Foster says the finish and neck are out of this world..."

    [quote name='MB1' post='98355' date='Dec 3 2007, 07:31 PM']MB1. The b series combos and many of the smaller speaker cabs are being made in china.Had a look round Sound Control the other day and there were very few that werent made in china. The SVT Classic range of speakers and valve heads are still being made in the states as far as i know.[/quote] Ed Straker says: "That's great intel so thanks. I'll send the boys out to go find some SVTs..." Later... Ed Straker: "From this print-out it looks like we've found some real American Ampegs!"

    I expect that as with Ashdown and others that there will be an initial 'teething' period as production is gradually shifted abroad, but after that I'd certainly have no reservations about buying a product that to me is no different. [/quote] Ed Straker says: "Colonel Foster and myself at SHADO thank everyone for the feedback...just was a bit surprised (though I suppose not entirely unexpected the way production in the MI industry is now structured) that the American 'flavour' of an Ampeg has now also gone but at the end of the day if the product is even better quality-wise and the product is same...well great! I suppose it's like Apple. 'Designed by Apple in California' but still Apple! Caption: "Thumbs up for Ampeg, then!"
