Howdy Everyone,
I bought this bass from a fellow forum member a year or two ago. I really wanted to give it the good ol' college try to see how I got along with a wider spacing and longer scale. I know a lot of you guys swear by this format. But - as someone whose only 5 string for a kazillion years was a SR5 - I just can't do the stretch. Don't get me wrong. This thing sounds frickin' amazing. It's just my mostly 4 string, rock and roll, girly hands can't deal with it.
Anyway, the tone is truly amazing. The action is great. Neck is a composite/maple hybrid with no dead spots whatsoever and the frets are in decent shape. Bartolini single coil jazz bass pickups with an Aguilar three band boost/cut EQ. It's not a lightweight, probably around 10lbs. It is definitely in "been played" condition. There are a few chips out of the clear coat on a few spots on the fret board and one 5-6mm chip out of the paint on the lower horn. Also, the usual buckle rash etc. All was there when I got the bass. Nothing that affects the playability of the bass at all. The only thing I changed on this bass was the knobs to Hipshot o-ring style. I have a generic hardshell case for this as well.
I'd like to get $1000 for the bass if I can - especially since Modulus ain't gonna be making any more of these - but I'm open to reasonable offers. I would also consider trades on a Stingray 5 or a G&L L series 5'er. Anything with a narrower spacing and 34" scale.
