Guest Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 Is it wrong to be ogling the case as much as the instrument? 😬 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul_1991 Posted March 15, 2021 Author Share Posted March 15, 2021 Thanks Hiram. I've a '97 version and this seems totally different, only 7lbs as well which I'm sure will reap reward for my back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassfan Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 That’s very nice. I’m not a fan of black basses but that is an exception! Lovely @Paul_1991 👍🏻 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there any downward neck pull on a strap? Thanks mate. Do you still have any Modulus basses at the moment? Recall that purple sparkle you had, still regret not getting that one off you! No downward neck pull at all, seems really well balanced. 7lbs just seems surreal for a bass, much more comfortable to both sit and stand. Never really thought a great deal of it until now; I've been playing a 40th Anniversary Stingray lately and that must be a good 10lbs but the difference between that and this new axe is staggering.

But, one like yours would easily persuade me - that one has it all for me 👍 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've a '97 sparkle to go alongside this but certainly will struggle to justify owning 2, the '97 is a bit of a case queen and I rarely play it, it's a sentimental piece for my youth spent ogling Flea's collection and always wishing to own one! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mind you, I haven't actually paid any duties on this bass yet and it arrived a week ago, thought I'd get a message from Fed Ex to say come and collect to pay duties. Keep thinking surely I can't have gotten away with this!! I don't think I've ever seen an orange FU for sale in the UK, still longing for a purple flake 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 Stunning! I could never own a bass with that kind of finish as it would just get scratched instantly for me and I'd hate myself! But it looks fantastic. LP pickup too, didn't even know basses like this were still coming out the Modulus shop! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think I've ever seen an orange FU for sale in the UK, still longing for a purple flake Lots of blue and silver flake ones up on Ebay regularly but I fancy something with that "What the hell is that?!" Factor! Purple flake must look absolutely stunning though, having never seen it personally. I did get in touch with Planet Bass a while ago to ask for prices and there was no variation from the website. So the spec id put forward (basically the Lane Poor, OBP1 preamp and orange flake finish without matching headstock) was nearly $5500. Then Her Majesty gets her cut, then the rest. Can I afford to chuck £5k on a bass? No. Do I want to? Hell yes! It would lead to a lengthy and expensive divorce no doubt. Hope you get away with the duties! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe it's a "LP Legacy" pickup, really good attack and sustain as ever from a Modulus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
