I just bought a Modulus Genesis (my first Modulus) and I can honestly say that this bass is one of the best I've played. Though very different, it's up there with Roscoe IMOH. Can't speak for the Quantum, but in my research several people said it sounded very sterile compared to the Genesis, but still pretty amazing compared to everything else. I think Modulus may have converted me! Hallelujah!
But seriously folks, at that price, I highly recommend trying it out. Me thinks it is worth the gamble.
Sterile is in the ear of the beholder. I dig Phil Lesh's sound, doesn't sound sterile to me at all. But then again, i couldn't see one being used on a Beatle's tune LOL. They are fab basses for fusion/jazz/funz. they work on Motown stuff too, but you gotta kill the highs.
For me, their only downside is the high cost of constantly replacing strings. Once the zing is gone, the bass tends to sound muddy and undefined to me. YMMV
