E sharp Posted December 20, 2021 Posted December 20, 2021 Had this for around 2 months now. Yet to gig it, as for the Soul band, the Dingwall 5P, is pretty much perfect for that. Got quite a few function band deps lined up for next year, so going to have a proper play around, as there is a massive amount of on board controls. So as of yet, I’m still playing around with it. Bought it off someone on here, and wasn’t cheap. Sold two MusicMans, a Framus, and loads of pedals, but it was totally worth it. 35” scale QW5 Modulus Quantum. They did two wide spacing ones- 19 and 21.5 mm. This ones the 21.5 mm. So basically their big standard 17mm 6 string neck, but with 5 strings. It’s really wide 8 Quote
Bunion Posted December 20, 2021 Posted December 20, 2021 (edited) Now that’s a beautiful looking bass, too many strings for me but if you’ve tried the graphite neck and I know you have, you just know what’s it’s capable of. Edited December 20, 2021 by Bunion Quote
E sharp Posted December 20, 2021 Author Posted December 20, 2021 Yep is really good. Got the East uni Pre I think. 3 stacked knobs- vol/blend, bass/mid, and mid/freq. Then passive tone with pull passive overall. Then two 4 position knobs/ one for each pickup- combinations of front and back coils, and series/parallel. So everything could ever want and more. Think the guy got the Norstrand PU’s as a special build, to accommodate the 21.5 mm bridge spacing 2 Quote
binky_bass Posted December 20, 2021 Posted December 20, 2021 21.5mm spacing?? Jeez! I've had a few 20mm spacing basses and they are just too wide for me so can't imagine how a 21.5mm would be to play! I mean horses for courses of course, but that is a WIDE beast! Quote
E sharp Posted December 20, 2021 Author Posted December 20, 2021 After playing 4’s for 35 years, the 19mm on the Dingwall is really nice, but even after a year, I’m still occasionally stumbling when string crossing. So the Modulus is like ‘proper’ 4 string spacing. I’ll see how I get on he he Quote
binky_bass Posted December 20, 2021 Posted December 20, 2021 If you don't like it, sell it to me, it'd make a wicked 6er with a few minor modifications! Quote
ambient Posted December 20, 2021 Posted December 20, 2021 Very nice! My favourite ever bass was a Modulus Q6. I used it all through uni. I’d like one of the Oteil Burbridge models like Steve Lawson uses. Quote
