40hz Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 (edited) Here we have my 2004 Modulus Flea in Blue Flake. Seymour Duncan Pickup and Bartolini NTBT 2-band preamp. New car is prompting sale. (Bang goes my Wal deposit!) Condition I'd rate as 8/10. A few barely noticeable dings in the finish, worse of which is a (filled in) chip near the jack socket. There is the usual lacquer crack at corner of the neck pocket, but is just in the finish and is not structural. (All 3 of my Fleas have had this). Neck is straight and unmarked, strings are fairly new. Frets are superb. Can be seen and heard in action on my YouTube channel here ; https://www.youtube.com/user/littleblackcloud86 Comes with branded Modulus hardcase. No offers. Would consider trade for Warwick Streamer Stage 2 (unmodified and in good condition) and cash my way. Collection preferred or will travel a large radius to myself here near Stratford-Upon-Avon to facilitate delivery or pickup Will not ship as I would want any prospective buyer to view a bass of this value first to ensure they are happy and to avoid any courier mishaps. Thanks for looking Edited November 16, 2020 by 40hz 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beedster Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 I keep looking at my avatar and keep finding myself drawn back to this page.......... Fleas are amazing instruments, the best of all world's in terms of design, engineering and function. But wow there is something so iconic about the blue sparkle, I suspect for me it's the association with the man himself, and more than any of those he played, seems to express the true spirit of the guy (how many players could take to the stage with this bass and get away with it). I saw one of these on sale in Japan, not the world's cheapest place to buy a bass, for close to £5k a while back. I suspect that this colour scheme on this instrument, like an LPB '64 Precision or a CAR '62 Jazz, is going to be the future iconic collector's item 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
40hz Posted October 27, 2020 Author Share Posted October 27, 2020 (edited) Updated to try and take pics that represent the colour better. It's a really vibrant and darker blue and my camera is washing it out. Edit - taken some new pics that are more accurate to the colour in the flesh.
