ambient Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 Brilliant news if they are, my Modulus is a simply amazing bass !

40hz Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 It's true! Interesting to see how they will do things model wise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ambient Posted November 7, 2014 Author Share Posted November 7, 2014 Well looking at the photos, there's definitely a Quantum model, so I'm happy, not that I'll be able to afford one . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prime_BASS Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 I don't see them making a come back in full, as I'm sure the filings for bankruptcy will have a catch or two. Also at 2.5k upwards still a very niche item, you can spend the same and choose a 5 piece body wood with loads of carves and bells and whistles. You could part up a similar bass for a lot less than the price they are asking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiliwailer Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 My friend recently bought some 2014 Modulus through Planet Bass. They were the 2nd and 3rd to be made this year. They currently have a blue/black burst and a sparkle sunburst Funk Unlimited just about to be assembled. Amazing basses, so glad they are back in business.

stingrayPete1977 Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 My credit card really can't take it if there is an option of buying a new Funk5 in sparkle silver but I will give it a try " transaction declined"....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyTravis Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 It'd be good if they're back in business, always fancied a vj4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And no amount of carves, bells and whistles will give you a Modulus, if that is what you desire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stingrayPete1977 Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Coffee table customs do nothing for me so I would rather spend £2.5k on a Modulus, I presume as others have in the past I would not be the only one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] They have fancy wood facings, it's just that they do it practicality in mind. Mine has a beautiful quilted maple front that's almost 3D like. Then there was that amazing looking semi hollow that was for sale back in the summer. Too many builders now by a machine to sculpt the bodies (don't know what it's called CNC maybe ?), and have the most hideous body shape, usually based around a single cut design. Whereas the Modulus Quantum shape is so sleek and elegant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stingrayPete1977 Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Trans finish or a maple top is about as fancy as I go but I will take a solid sparkle finish Funk5 all day long Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He got a new one last year, IIRC - matte black with "Flea" inlayed into the fretboard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
