Chiliwailer Posted August 17, 2014 Posted August 17, 2014 (edited) I've had a search and I'm surprised there isn't a Modulus thread here.

The only other time I've heard a Modulus bass is when Benny Reitveld was using one back in the early 90's. Quote

Kiwi Posted October 11, 2014 Posted October 11, 2014 I've owned three....it started with a Modulus Sonic Hammer which was an outstanding bass apart from just not suitable for the music I was playing. I then moved onto a pair of Q5 Sweetspots and both had issues - the neck on the fretless was bent and the fretted one was very brittle sounding. I've not really gone back since but have a soft spot for their pink over blue finish. An FB5 in pink over blue would be hard to resist. Quote

Gibson should do that finish on a Thunderbird. P Quote

Did I buy it from you on eBay? Probably a couple of years ago? It came with a Modulus case. Derrick Quote
Acebassmusic Posted October 12, 2014 Posted October 12, 2014 Yip. That was me! Hope you're enjoying it :-) Quote
lapolpora Posted October 13, 2014 Posted October 13, 2014 Loving it! I had a problem with the preamp earlier this year and it had to go back to John East for a service and upgrade. Other than that it's been fab. So easy to play - and I'm a 4 stringer. Quote
