vinorange Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 (edited) Very under rated basses and as per the ad the early necks for these were made by modulus. Odd configuration with a rosewood board on a graphite neck though.... Edited July 21, 2023 by vinorange 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The earlier B-Quad basses had Modulus necks, the G-bass connection is a combination of confusion and wishful thinking 😀 My pal Ronnie was still head mech engineer for Peavey in Meridian the time of the G & G-V basses, the necks were machined slightly undersize then shipped to gun stock outfit Bell & Carlson for a carbon wrap. Someplace I've a photo of my G-bass with tuning pegs removed that shows the wooden core, when I did the same with my B-Quad neck it showed Modulus were of hollow construction. There's a few other factors rule out Modulus necks, price/no mention despite being a registered trademark and a pretty strong selling point, but the most compelling was Geoff Gould flat out denying any involvement with Peavey other than the B-Quad necks. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had my doubts, the construction is different to a Modulus neck (although I could have been sold on Status), while googling B-Quad, you can see that they do look like Modulus. Thanks for confirming. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
