Beedster Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 (edited) Business and finance issues, mostly Covid related, force the sale of this and a few other bass-related items, if things change before they sell, then they will be withdrawn. I ordered this from Modulus in late 2007 IIRC, inspired by the identical instrument I'd seen Flea playing....... I'd previously owned a blue sparkle version that whilst lovely, was a little too much of a statement for the type of gigs I played at the time, so wanted the Modulus Flea 'thing' with a more vintage vibe. This fit the bill 100%. I sold it when we were expecting our first child, and as things go on BC, was able to buy it back again from Walshy earlier this year. Its condition suggests that it hasn't been gigged a whole lot if at all, in fact it's pretty much immaculate, with the exception of the obligatory small dink to the very end of the headstock (and it really is very small). I'll need to dig out my old emails/receipts to confirm exactly which PUP/circuit is installed, but as I've said in previous posts, Flea Basses tend to sound like Flea Basses irrespective of PUPs and circuits; lovely fast attack, superb clarity and consistency across the strings and the board, and almost limitless sustain. I'm asking what I paid and the price is firm. I'm not interested in trades or PX, sorry. I'll upload more pics later when the kids/dog are less energetic Edited July 12, 2020 by Beedster 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Way If things pick up then I'll withdraw it, as well as the numerous other things I'm going to have to sell (I've already sold my Mesa Titan). Problem is that my work until March this year was based largely in France, so we've taken the double whammy of Brexit and Covid. I keep telling myself that it's just bass gear and that I can always buy it again if business improves and we start gigging. I also keep telling myself that what I've just told myself is bollocks and I shouldn't sell any of it in the first place 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Dan, just a bass mate, although a rather special one, and as I mentioned to Andy this morning, the only bass I've ever ordered as opposed to simply bought, totally due to the photo at the top IIRC Hope all's well Chris 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
