Born 2B Mild Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 I like the idea of a Modules 4-string, but have never tried one. I just wondered if a Modulus owner in my area will let me have a play on theirs in their own home. I live in Harrogate, and work in Leeds. Then, if I'm smitten, it will be a case of finding a used one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golchen Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 HANDS OFF!!! the next modulus available is MINE MINE MINE!! Oh, sorry, you want a 4 string. I only play 5. I too have never tried one, but I'm sure that I really want one. They don't come up all that much in the UK though do they. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It lives too far away for me to go and try first, but I could go with it if I knew it was the right kind of thing for me first. Hence the appeal to fondle someone's locally.

6stringbassist Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 Each one is going to sound a bit different, that's true of most basses. They aren't at all cold or sterile sounding, in fact they're very warm sounding instruments, what particular model are you after ?. For me I like the fact that you can stick it in its bag/case, travel 150 miles by train somewhere, open the case and the action on the thing is exactly as you left it. I got mine from the US last year, it took 3 days to arrive and was perfect when it came out of its case, and still in tune. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tait Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 have all moduluses got a really long waiting list to buy new, or just the flea? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beedster Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Speak to Ian Morton at S.M.A.R.T. Only way to buy a Flea is new (as myself and Artisan can testify) Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
