Modulus VJ4 (SOLD/traded)

[eubassix]

Looking to trim the Collection and complete/clear some projects ... it's getting out-of-hand (again) and need to make room for something(s) new (details to follow in the Porn section, if things work-out)....

Modulus VJ4 bass (USA) with upgrade (and very high quality) Quilt maple top and Bartolini pickups/2EQ. Fiished in a very tasty caramel-translucent. Neck (composite - it's a Modulus) has a truss rod but has never needed adjustment. Looks and feels like a Jazz (c. 9.5 lbs) but with a much greater spectrum of sound(s). Excellent for slap / M.King stuff but can also be(come) much more mellow. Bass itself is in excellent condition (few, minor/superficial marks - nothing obvious or serious) and plays just as good as it looks. There is one small finish chip on the neck between frets 4-5. Original case - one corner has been damaged/repaired, but is pretty strong/sound.
SOLD(traded)

Good sale!

Love this bass too... I'm looking for something else in case my '66 Jazz would be sold and this is one bass I would surely consider..

[Chris2112]

That top wood is just outrageous!

[artisan]

if only i was a tad richer that'd be mine

[Exile252]

Too many Modulus basses, they look too good for their own good, why can't I be richer!!!

It would look so smart with black hardware!

yes, I'd agree with that: not sure if the original bridge/tuners (in black) are available and what they might cost (?!) - bridge might be easy, but the tuners are stamped ' Modulus Guitars'.

[Chris2112]

I'm sure Modulus will be able to provide the parts, they're only spares! They must have a few sitting around!

I have known some Co.(s) - generally the smaller ones - who have been helpful and very generous in sourcing and replacing parts / small components.
No experience with Modulus (... anybody else?...) but doubt if they'll want to provide the tuners (and bridge - if it's theirs) FOC.
