Magnolia Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 (edited) For sale is my top spec Modulus Flea Bass [size=5][b] No Longer for sale - Am going to keep it [/size][/b] I had stopped playing for over a year, and in that time I guess the sound im after has changed a bit. I have owned a few Flea's now and this is by far the best of the bunch. In my eyes this is the ultimate flea bass. Specs are.... Big Silver Flake finish, with matching Headstock. Badass II bridge Gotoh Tuners Aguilar OBP-2 Pre Amp Lane Poor Pickup. It will come with a Modulus Hardcase. With previous fleas i have found them to be a little too bright and top heavy. But this one with the lane poor has bucket loads of bottom end. Even through my Roland Cube it sounds awesome. This is/was my dream bass, but its just not the sound im after anymore. Which is a shame as its a real player. This is a feeler as with all sales I will regret this going the second it has sold. My price is [b]£1000[/b] firm. Im not open to any haggling on this price at all. As for trades....well im a Jazz man at heart but will give most suggestions consideration. Maybe even a lesser bass with money my way. I ahve attached a pic that I have on my phone (not the best quallity) but I will take pics tonight once i get home from work I would prefer this to be collection only as its a pain in the backside to post. Although I can meet anywhere within London.

Magnolia Posted February 16, 2010 Author Share Posted February 16, 2010 Quick bump.... Cheers for the offers so far, I've had some good'uns. I'd mostly be interested in Jazz basses. With Cash either way. Im a big fan of Geddy Lee's, Marcus Millers and other similar 70's style jazzes. Im basically after a more organic sound (if that makes any sence) Might even consider a Stingray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But unless its a 70's P though it probably isnt going to be my thing :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassfan Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 Fraid not, it's a 62' re-issue. I have had it overhauled. Plays nicely pics on my Gear porn thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magnolia Posted February 20, 2010 Author Share Posted February 20, 2010 Bump. I have had some great offers on trades for this but it is sitll available. After a few hours playing I have almost decided to keep it as its such an awesome bass. As such, im in no hurry to shift this so will happily wait for the right offer/deal. Anyone who is local is more than welcome to come try it out. I'll even offer tea and bourbons Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowbee Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 These are great basses! Since I bought mine last year it has firmly overtaken my MM Sterling as my main bass. The necks are simply amazing! I'd almost be tempted to own another one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JensWest Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 When's it made? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnolia Posted February 27, 2010 Author Share Posted February 27, 2010 Its made in 2003. The serial numbe on the back of the headstock confirms this. Unfortunately this is now only for sale as I need the money more than another bass. Thanks to all who have sent me trade offers. Some really great deals that im going to have to pass on. Sorry I have have messed anyone about. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
