Ha ha, fair enough. I think the point I was trying to make (perhaps poorly) is that the Modulus Flea Basses are in my experience a significant level above every other bass I've owned or played, and that includes some far more expensive instruments (and lets face it, Moduli aren't cheap). The Modulus neck really is a work of functionalist art in every sense, it's space-race/NASA pedigree is all to evident when you pick the bass up. I've gone through a few bands and periods in which the aesthetic of the Flea didn't quite fit, which is one of the reasons that I ordered a sunburst model direct from Modulus to replace my blue sparkle, which I felt was a little bit too much for the local pub (and I was lucky enough to be able to buy the sunburst model back from a fellow BCer after I sold it a few years back). But the Flea has always been the instrument to me that defines the ultimate in playability and, perhaps to a lesser degree, versatility. It is also a bass that, for whatever reason, sits around my neck perfectly and dare I say it given recent comments elsewhere, almost becomes a part of me. And with all that in mind, I genuinely do wish I had two Flea Basses, and could put flats on one and rounds on the other, because like Stingrays, whilst both can cover the mid ground quite well, at the extreme ends of playing style and tone the Flea is two very different beasts with different strings. And whilst I love the classic Flea top-end zinginess allied to the hard hitting and visceral sub punch so beloved by Chili fans, I'd also love to get the beautiful low mid and sensuous smoothness that only a nice old set of flats can bring along with the incredible playability of the Flea. OK, I can get that on a Precision for sure, but like those of you who play Stingrays with flats will know, the latter is a very special tone. If timing was a little different, Andy's bass would already be on it's way to me to be honest, but as our singer has been demonstrating for over 10 years and knows only too well, timing is a hard mistress But Andy, I'll be honest mate, big respect to you for the above and the other posts, there are things in life that are really important and which can make the shiny stuff in life seem unnecessary at times. But I do hope that you change your mind and keep this

I played mine last night, the moment I plugged in I knew it was going to be a magical session. As I’ve said many times, there’s stuff I can’t play on any other bass I can play with ease on the Flea, and it sounds better than any other bass I have also. Only thing wrong with my Flea is that I can’t put rounds and flats on the one bass at the same time

Agreed also

Yep, it’s very cleansing and therapeutic

That neck .........

Looks like a Warmoth neck to me
