funkyspuke Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 (edited) It's finally time for me to let go of my first true love .. my Modulus Flea Bass! I have had the Modulus bass for 7 years and it's been an awesome! it's turned heads at every gig I played and the sound is just something truely amazing ... maybe even too good haha. however, I have now moved on in style and sound with my Sadowsky and am hoping to add another VJ bass to my collection. I am now finding myself leaving the Modulus at home more and more. I think it's time it had a new home Here is the spec; 22 fret, 34" scale carbon fiber bolt-on neck White pearl pickguard Chrome Hardwear Silver Sparkle w/matching headstock Bartolini MM Pickup Aguilar active preamp w/ passive bass and treble It comes with original hardcase (with my own added decorations as you will see from pictures ) As it's over 7 years old, it's had it's bumps and knocks .. most noticeable is on the headstock where a small part of the silver sparkle has chipped off (bass dropped when strap came off). there are also a few small marks on the back of the neck that I have tried to capture, but hardly noticable and there are a few scuffs on the silver sparkle body .. but you can only slightly feel these rather than see them. I am looking for £900 for this (taking into account the chipped headstock and the slow market at the moment) and will arrange courier for delivery. I am also open to trades and would be happy to consider any 4 string Sadowsky Metro, Modulus VJ, Lakeland, Sandberg .. just fire away Here are pictures ... enjoy (remember, the chip on the headstock makes it authentic) [attachment=59749:IMG_0388.JPG] [attachment=59750:IMG_0381.JPG] [attachment=59751:IMG_0383.JPG] [attachment=59752:IMG_0379.JPG] [attachment=59753:IMG_0392.JPG] [attachment=59754:IMG_0394.JPG] Edited October 14, 2010 by funkyspuke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rowbee Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 I've never really worried about the look of my bass fitting in with whichever band I'm playing with as long as I like the look of it and this is a beautiful bass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
