    Must admit that Modulus, along with Lakland are the only basses I will buy without trying first. Every one that I've had has been an absolute peach, beautifully made, perfect set-up.

    Can't believe this hasn't sold. £800 is absolute peanuts for an instrument of this quality.

    Always liked Thumbs, especially the original JD model. I find them really uncomfortable to play though, I think it's the top strap button position, seems to push the bass to the left making the first 3 - 4 frets a real stretch. Still, at £800 you won't buy better.

    Jim Cairns is the slowest builder in the world, 12 weeks to refin a 'ray for me a few years back. That said, his work is simply superb, his necks are wonderful & he still makes the best strat pickups I've heard. £250 for anything built by Jim is the deal of the decade.

Love the bit about the price of a new one, I doubt any dealers still have a 3 year old limited edition in stock - mind if they are asking £1600 they probably do.

    Having bought 1 Marleaux bass from Dave & tried a couple more I can tell you they play & sound even better than they look. Criminally overlooked instruments.

    £2k for a P bass seems mad but, given they are back ordered to 2009, they must be well worth it.
