I think your Modulus Flea is quite stunning too I'll hunt a photo. I bought mine from Marcus and it's received one more mod since I've had it. Marcus had it refinished by Dave Wilson who finishes the Sobel range of acoustic guitars. It's not a flamed finish but nevertheless it's beautiful and I prefer the more understated look myself. It has a Badass II fitted and has the Lane Poor pickup that also has the Flea motif I've since replaced the Aguilar 3 EQ with an ACG02 filter based unit and the result is stunning as Homer (Alan) will no doubt testify as he had a go today.

Well I'll let Alan update. It was great to see Al and Hazel and a good time was had by all Peter -

[quote]come on lets not remind every stingray seller of that and let him sell his bass[/quote] Well Kev I'm surprised at your comment to be honest as it's normally you doing just that. Good stuff Best colour combination imo and good luck with the sale. Peter -
[quote]Have you ever seen a Flea bass as nice as this?[/quote] Yes, and it's sat 5 feet from me now Peter

Mine has a label too. I once bought an amp described as 'new' by the eBay seller. It came without a box, manual or even a 'kettle' lead and it was covered in grubby fingermarks on the anodised plate around the controls. I suspect it had been nicked and I had the serial number checked out by a police colleague although nothing came up (it may not have been reported stolen or the owner didn't have a record of the serial number). The seller I learnt later was arrested trying to sell a stolen guitar on eBay. But you bought in good faith and the amp can't now be traced anyway. I got my amp for a good price and ended up getting another £20 back from the seller too in a dispute. Maybe that's your best approach as after all it's plainly not immaculate. Peter

[quote]a quick chat with Mr East might make a world of difference[/quote] I agree wholeheartedly and with experience of mods devaluing a bass. Therefore there's a risk involved if the mod doesn't produce the hoped for results. If you were going for a John East pre-amp I'd personally stump for Alan Crinean's John East made ACG02 filter based pre-amp. At the risk of 'going on about it too much' it's an amazing pre that in my opinion knocks spots off a conventional pre. Not that John's pre-amps aren't great too. It's a shame (for comparison purposes) Alan that I've replaced the Thumper on my Warmoth P with the Darkstar but if you ever want to give the ACG02 pre-amp a whirl I'm more than happy for you to try it. The pre is so easy to install too. I've an '02' in a Jazz AND a Modulus Flea too if anyone up North wants to try em out (Plus an '01' in my ACG Harlot). Yes I'm a convert Peter

Firstly the drummer is a she A beautiful bass there Alan, I've always hankered after one but having owned a Bob Glaub and now that my Warmoth is Darkstar'd I think I've got my virtual P sorted. This is a cracking deal and I know how well you look after your gear. Peter

Thanks for the nice comments. The Darkstar plus the ACG02 Filter pre-amp are a great combination. Peter

With many thanks to Alan (ACG) from sunny Moffat for some routering and a macasser ebony surround: It all went back together really easily with no problems at all. The 1st thing I noticed that with the low pass filter set fully anti-clockwise there was a much more useable sound without bringing up the threshold gain. It sounds bloomin' lovely, mainly in the way a Darkstar is supposed to sound. Old school? Chuffed and Alan thank you PS I know I've some ironing to do but single bloke, what do you expect! Peter

Nice bass and +1 on the Warmoth necks. 2 Darkstars!! Good value too it'd cost a fair bit more than £500 to put this together. Coincidentally I've just put a Darkstar in my Warmoth P this very day Thread with photo to follow: Peter -
I have a lovely custom bass made by Les Evan's in Liverpool. It was specifically made for Mark (Bassculture) who has very small hands. The neck is the thinest I've ever seen and to put my big hands around the nut end of the neck is amazing The neck is also a 7 piece laminate with a 'V' profile that makes it very stiff and anchors the thumb the the 'right' spot. It's actually one of the basses I've been offering for sale recently too but it seems a very bad time for selling at the moment. It might be well worth a look if anyone has a small hands issue. Peter

If the previous 2 pm's don't produce a Cube 30 then I'm interested and in Cumbria. Peter -
Bumperooney To the top again Peter -
[quote]What's a "JP copy"?[/quote] Jaco Pastorius (it's not)? Jacket Potato?? Jazz/Precision (not that either)? Peter

I've just had a reply from the guy. Seems he bought it as a 72 Fender without the neck plate. He ackowledges that he bought the neck plate for it and he says he'll withdraw it. Sounds genuine enough as his feedback would suggest. Peter

Hehe, My Warmoth flew here from the States and was then put on the next flight back! It's done more airmiles than I have! I'm looking forward to the review. Peter
-
I would consider trades for this bass, particularly an early 90's NT Thumb 4 or 5 Peter

[quote]and the lack of furnishings (and probably people ).[/quote] I'll move around a lot
-
Methinks it's nowhere near THAT bad. Peter
-
Yes I agree Dave it CAN be done but for me it'll be a one way trip Peter
-
I'm really glad you have transformed the DD Alan, will you be gigging the beast tomorrow night? Did I mention that Alan (of ACG) is presently routing my Warmoth P for a Darkstar pup? It'll be interesting to see how it compares to the Wizard Thumper that came out but it's a one way trip Peter
-
Cya there Alan, I need a couple a beers! Peter
-
Due to unforseen circumstances this great bass is up for sale again. Peter

WITHDRAWN - Warmoth Fretless Jazz 4 String Bass - WITHDRAWN
GreeneKing replied to nickcarey's topic in Basses For Sale
That's a beautiful looking Warmoth there Nick. I can attest to the really high quality of Warmoth having built one myself and the necks are super stable and very comfy too. Peter -
Is the shape of the headstock meant to represent something? Peter
