I guess this could qualify as rare (at least the fuschia color...)

Yep. I once had the crazy idea of getting one of these. I called Modulus a while ago and they told me the left-handed "molds" were damaged and they were not making the Quantums in lefty any more.

I heard the same thing, which is puzzling since the neck seems perfectly symmetrical. I wonder how the mold was different for the lefty Quantum neck?

That's why they won't make lefty Flea basses too, apparently it costs about $10,000 to make the neck mold.

Heh, he describes it as a 5 year old bass with graphite wood neck..... :mrgreen: It's ten years old, graphite don't grow on trees, and I wish I could buy it, because you just know it's incredible.

I just dug some clips from some guy at Talkbass playing one of these, and while I don't know how well they will work in a band mix, they do sound amazing played solo.
