louseskaman Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 (edited) [b][size=6]FURTHER PRICE DROP WAS [s]£1895 ono[/s] NOW 1795 ono[/size][/b] [size=5]Hi all,[/size] [size=5][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Its breaking my heart, but unfortunately shes got to go. My Modulus Flea Bass, 1997 Model in Silver Flake with the Flea logo on the Headstock. (Serial Number 970042).

I've only now had her back from the legendary Gary Waghorn after having give her a full service in which he changed a pot and tidied up the wiring (now that shes over 16 years old she needed a little tlc). [/font][/size] [font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif][size=5]As far as Im concerned shes in near mint condition, there are a couple of little dings which you've got to look very hard for. I've been told the pup and pre is Bartolini, hopefully someone in the know will be able to tell from the pics.[/size][/font] [font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif][size=5]I understand that being a newbie to this site, people may be a be a bit weary to buying so I would prefer if whoever is interested in buying will come and pick it up in person (South Wales) [/size][/font][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif][size=5]so they can see how lovely she is and can try before they buy.[/size][/font] [size=5][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]I am considering looking for a smaller, more manageable markbass, genzbenz or similar bass head, and a white pbass either MIJ or American, so if anyone has any of these to trade plus cash please feel free to post what you got.[/font][/size] [font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif][size=5]I know though whoever has this is gonna love and enjoy it.[/size][/font] [font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif][size=5]No timewasters though please[/size][/font] [font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif][size=5]Cheers[/size][/font] Edited January 2, 2014 by louseskaman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beedster Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Wow, Fleabasses everywhere at present. Welcome and good luck, wish I could justify buying one again, and am sorely tempted to PM you given I have the best Oly White 62' RI ever (which on reflection ain't going nowehere, even for this beauty) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beedster Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Not a good time to sell, either generally or before Christmas, unless you're looking to buy also. There's some great basses out there not selling and no doubt a few folks wondering why their bass-related investments have worked out. Having said that, you'll probably sell it tomorrow This is the best bass there is for all round gigging IME C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
louseskaman Posted November 28, 2013 Author Share Posted November 28, 2013 Haha yeah hopefully it will go soon, the longer its here, the more reluctant I'm going to be selling it. Yes a fantastic bass to play, have loved gigging with it. Will be a great buy for a very lucky someone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul_1991 Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 I own a 97 flea and will say that these are incredible instruments. All the best with the sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul_1991 Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Further to the pickup, I believe that looks like a lane poor. It is the same as my one with the logo which is a LP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
louseskaman Posted November 28, 2013 Author Share Posted November 28, 2013 Thanks Paul, yeah really starting to regret it already, an amazing bass, but unfortunately its gotta go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
louseskaman Posted November 28, 2013 Author Share Posted November 28, 2013 ah thanks for that Paul, I wasnt sure on the pup and pre, was hoping the pics could tell me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul_1991 Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Not a problem. The little logo is carried by LP equipped flea basses from my knowledge. Only around for the 97/98 period, there is a big mystique about them with folk willing to pay large sums just for the pick up! A said state of affairs for Modulus and I have been well informed by the UK dealer that their fate is all but sealed. May I also suggest you search the wanted section of our forum as many folk have been searching for a Modulus Flea for some time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
louseskaman Posted November 28, 2013 Author Share Posted November 28, 2013 Ah right, I've done a little research into it and had trouble identifying the electrics. Yes a great bass manufacturer gone, best bass I've ever played and the sound is fantastic. Thanks again Paul mate, I'll check out the wanted section now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Ahh, a Lane Poor Flea bass, how I have lusted after one of these! Complete wrong time for me financially but this looks like an amazing instrument. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
