LstPrpht4Lfe Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 If anybody has played one, or heard things about these, let me know. I'm interested in them. The price, eh, but for the carbon fiber neck, it'd be awesome. Let me know, X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Lawson Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 what do you want to know? I've played the 4 and the 5, both with single musicman-style pickups, and with a pair of js. I've been a modulus user for 14 years, and have three Quantums - fretted 4, fretted and fretless 6s. cheers steve www.stevelawson.net StevieLand - go on, you know you want to!

Fred TBP Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 Haven't seen the 5 but I've played the 4. Like the neck, but I'd rather get that separately and stick it on something I like better. Though despite all the hype, a Modulus neck and a well-made wooden neck (Warwick, Warmoth, Fender, and others to name a few) will do the same job and require little maitenance if you treat them right.

Tom Capasso Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 I've never warmed up to the Modulus Q series, but I liked the Flea version (I tried the 4, not the 5). I don't care for some of the colors offered, but the neck felt great, and the sound was fine! Tom www.stoneflyrocks.com Acoustic Color Be practical as well as generous in your ideals.

Stackimo Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 Is that bass really worth the price? Or is this just another over priced bass that has someone's name on it? "Some people are like "slinkies". They're not really good for anything; but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LstPrpht4Lfe Posted March 2, 2006 Author Share Posted March 2, 2006 To be quite honest, I'm looking for something a little less 'glam' as a Warwick 'vette. It was my dream bass, so I pretty much got it without thinking twice (once I had enough to buy it). It's touchy, with the fully adjustable bridge, the bell brass frets that catch every little twing and twang (good and bad if you're ornary), the right set of strings to fit it, the heavyness (not really a big problem), the tube jack (not fond of) and how low it sits in your lap. These things have occurred to me over time, but I guess they come with the territory. So I'm looking at the Modulus Flea 5. That's the deal. So any info would be hot. Anything a'tall.

SteveC Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 I don't know the Flea's, but I had a pair of Q5's once (fretted and fretless) that were really nice. I should never have sold them. Probably my only regret in all my bass swapping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
