ambient Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 (edited) It's a very sad occasion, and something that I never expected to have to do. This is one bass that I always wanted to own, and never wanted to have to sell. However, I'm currently doing a MMus in composition at Goldsmith's in London. It's an amazing course, and is really helping me with my compositional work. You can't get student loans for postgrad courses, so I'm having to finance the course myself, which is a struggle. My only income is from some private teaching, and gigs. The bass is an amazing instrument, and was built by Modulus in 1999, making it 16 years old. I have owned it for the last 3 years. It is in amazing condition. When I bought it I though it was maybe 2 or 3 years old, I was truly shocked when I had it dated via the serial number. It is an alder body, with quilted maple facing. A 24 fret carbon fibre neck. Bartolini pickups, and a custom made John East preamp, the John made for me to accommodate the existing holes that were in the body from the previous pre. It has a 35" scale length, and 17mm string spacing at the bridge. The action is ridiculously low, lower than on any wooden necked bass that I have ever played. It is currently strung with Thomastik flat wound strings. It comes with a Modulus Hardcase. I can't afford to lower the price, this is a bargain. If it doesn't sell then I will be taking it to either Bass direct or one of the other specialist shops to sell for me. Collection is preferred, though I can also meet for train fare. The only trades would be for a 6 string bass of approximately £1000 in value, plus cash to me. Possibly a Yamaha TRB or JP model ? I have no interest in basses with less than 6 strings. Fretless bass welcome too, as long as they have 6 strings. This is a photo from when I bought it, I will post some new photos in the next couple of days.
