UPDATE, UPDATE A Member on TalkBass has got a hold of me and said they saw my bass It was being sold on guitarcenter.com's website, In fact he got an email of the Bass, and described it to me as my exact Bass, He unfortunately deleted the Email after he bought a Status ( Hey Status S2 Classic - What a Fantastic Bass ) Anyway in Colorado the downfall to this is this was 10 Months ago, well Im very passionate about finding it, so I called the guitar center actually all 5 of them, and Finally got a hold of a Manager and he did a search for the Serial number and the Model number, but nothing came up, He told me that depending on how the Bass was entered into the computer, is how he can find it, Meaning if the Associate whom entered it into the system, Spelled Modulus wrong, or used a different heading such as Modulas, or QW5 or Wide 5, He would actually have to search for each and every variable, they cannot do a accurate search and be able to find it ...unless it is exactly what was entered into the Computer. So that being said, it was sold from Guitar Center in Colorado somewhere, so as far as I can tell it is still in the USA.....So Please Please keep your eyes out, again any and all help is appreciated...Just for everyones peace of mind, I would just like to know where the Bass is, and in case that time comes the owner would like to sell it, I would like to be first in line to purchase it....Terry

Sorry I added this to my Profile, but somehow it did not show up [url="http://www.tricusmusic.com"]www.tricusmusic.com[/url]

You know Guys, Im still on the lookout for this Bass? Sometimes these things take some time, and persistance is the key mach that with drive and passion and we just may bring her home...I know its been a while since my last post? But I got into a new band and she is needed even more know! Please do keep an eye out for it, She is Very unique..Thankyou everyone

Im Still looking for it, any leads would be much appreciated

You know you may be right, about it not being so Magical, however you may be wrong as well, I feel that if, and that is a big if??? its in the same condition as when it left me, then the Magic would be Tremendous...,,,as her and I would get to know each other all over again, and we would have that inner communication, that inner peace, that brought us together for the first time...Yes it is that sentimental, yes it is!! As far a new Modulus, no I havnt considered a new one, getting ready to go into the studio to record a new CD, so after that it may be time to get a new one, depending on affordability. I am Still diligently looking, anyone out there at all seen her, please again and again and again, just let me know? i sincerely appreciate any and all comments, Thankyou Terry

Gust0o Yes I also have a post up at Talk Bass, I literally search everyday on every known search engine for any leads to this Bass, I am almost becomming Obsessed with being able to find the bass, Everyday Im off work, I search the webb for any and all strings having to do with Modulus, or QW5 or Q5W or Extra Wide or 6 String forums, the list goes on and on, I just wish I knew where she was? so that if and when that day comes the owner will be willing to allow me to buy it back...Im so sincere about this, I think about it everyday,, hopefully someone will come to the surface and at least give me another clue to follow? I did find out again that the Pawn shop actually sold it 2 days before I was supposed to come down and make a payment, What to do, Sue, its pointless....... Lier Lawyer Mirror Show me the difference - TOOL

Update, SPI-5 Modulus or called a QW5.... We have contacted the Person that used to sell everything for the pawn shp, But they cannot remember thier Ebay Id...Appearantly this was back in 10-28-2004 is when it was sold, I know I know my dates were all mixed up so I apolige for that....I pawned it on 4-30-2004 and they sold it on 10-28-2004...which honestly according to my records, they sold it 2 days before I was to come in and make a payment on the Bass, as you have to make a payment every 30 days before the date in which it was pawned, in my case it would have been 10-30-2004 but they sold it on 10-28-2004 2 days early ???? Well Im still looking for it...If anyone has any information on this Bass, please do contact me [email="[email protected]"][email protected][/email] I work from home and will get the email immediately the Serial number to Modulus Graphite SPI-5 Bass is 951774....It may also be referenced to a QW5 because of the wide string spacing. I sincerely appreciate anyones assistance in helping me find this Bass.....If the owner reads this, and your not ready to sell it, I completely respect and understand that..All I ask is that you please contact me, Id love to hear about where she has been what she has went through ECT..I miss this Bass Dearly, yes I think about Playing her Everyday....Sincerely Terry

Just a heads up, I got a hold of the Pawnshop owner, and he has agreed to let me speak to the person in charge of all of his Internet transactions, on Wed, Feb 29th so hopefully I can get the EBAY sellers ID and the Item number, then I can call Ebay and they will tell me where it went, and be able to track down this Bass....Ebay told me when I called them, If I have the Item number, then it can be tracked in thier system, no matter when it was sold...So keep your fingers crossed for me ok? Ill keep you updated? Terry

Thanks Mike, I appreciate it, Im still looking for this Bass, so if anyone has any leads out there I would greatly sincerely appreciate it

Ok I will try as you suggested, When you Pawn something over here in the USA, they dont have to tell you anything Period...Just an Example, we came back from our Gig late on Friday night, Put everything in the Jam Room and left ( Someone forgot to lock the door ? ) we closed the door but forgot to lock it, Needless to say My Modulus was Stolen as were a few Drum Mikes and some Cables, I desperatly called every Pawn shop within a 5 Mile Radius and they all told me to go [email="F#%$@#%"]F#%$@#%[/email] Myself I explained very nicely on the phone what the Modulus Bass looked like to every detail, and the serial Number, no one would give me any information....I kept calling back hoping to speak to a different person, and I got a hold of a Lady, and after I gave her the description of the Bass, she told me it was in my best interest to come and look at this Bass, but would tell me nothing else...Morality you say, there is no more of that, as human beings we are not, We are all Slaves whom are driven by slaves, who inturn are slaves themselves and dont know it..in a Slave Driven society..I just had to say that, as its Sad but True. Thankyou, for your thoughts, If you or anyone else sees this Bass, I would appreciate it letting me know, I just want to know where she is, this, True Story I just told you, is one of Many other Amazing True Stories behind this Bass, and that is why it holds so much sentimental value to me.....This Bass was also in a Fire, and the Headstock Logo shows signs of yellowing from the fire..This is another identification for this Bass.......Sincerely This Bass has went through so much....I would just like the opportunity to buy it back...Plaine and Simple...Again thankyou so much for your thoughts and input, I really appreciate it....If you know of any sites to recomment me to...please do so, Ive regestered to just about all USA Sites....Terry

Still looking for this Bass, If I keep asking someday someone will have seen it somewhere? Anyone?

Still looking, has anyone seen this Bass, I would love to know where it is and what it has been through, or where it has been?

Thankyou I appreciate it to everyone, I hope I find it to

Just Updating, Has anyone seen this bass ANYWHERE, please let me know...I sincerely appreciate it, I will not stop until I find it

[quote name='Chris2112' timestamp='1322209124' post='1447834'] Best of luck getting this bass back, it looks like a nice one! [/quote] Thankyou Chris, I appreciate it!

[quote name='lapolpora' timestamp='1322097564' post='1446588'] Thought it was mine for a minute - but mine is 952***. It has the same spalted maple top but with a normal width neck and black hardware. Good luck with your search. [/quote] Well I do want to thankyou for taking a look at the Post, So did you loose yours too? and thank you for wishing me good luck, I sincerely appreciate it

Thankyou Very Much, I cannot put words into how I feel about knowing where She is, and Im just hoping that the current owner will want to stay in touch, and hopefully give me the first opportunity to buy her back, when or if she comes up for sale!

[quote name='charic' timestamp='1321891555' post='1444103'] I fully sympathize but have one question that I just have to ask... How exactly did you lose it? And where(ish) would probably help track it down too [/quote] This was Pawned in 2007 It was either make the house payment or loose the house, I still regret it, and I was under the impression I would make the payments on it, but I was a few days late and lost it to my lapse of time...The only thing I know is its supposed to be somewhere in Europe, that is all the Pawn shop would tell me,,,any and all Help is much appreciated. thankyou for looking at my post...Sincerely Terry

[quote name='daz' timestamp='1321891334' post='1444099'] Hope you get it back. With those details and because it was legally sold, [i]if[/i] its still out there you stand a reasonable chance, (say one in five) which is better than most. But how long it will actually take is anyones guess. I presume you have done the obvious things such as going to all the Modulas Forums you can find. First of course you need a bigger picture. When exactly did you pawn it ? [/quote] Thankyou for noticing my post, and I sincerely appreciate your time..I have joined TalkBass, and Basschat.uk, and Ive looked for every Modulus Forum I can find, If you click on the picture it should Enlarge, and unfortunately I have some other pics, but its even harder to see it....This was Pawned in 2007 The only thing I know is its supposed to be somewhere in Europe, that is all the Pawn shop would tell me,,,This was Pawned in Mesa Arizona

Hello Everyone This was my Baby and she, was NOT Stolen, I simply lost it due to my Stupidity? Which I still regret Daily I am merely looking for the Present owner of this Bass, just to stay in contact with him or her, Because if or when he or she decides to get rid of it, I would like to be the one that gets her back, There is a Ton of sentimental value to this bass. As Far as I understand someone from Europe had purchased it, so where it is now, I do not know. You might be thinking to yourself, Why didn’t this guy look for it before? Awnser: I have been looking for it since I lost it a few years ago, I’ve looked on every web page I could find I custom ordered this bass from Mike Hawkins at First Bass in Denver on Jan 28th-1995, Mike actually went to [b][color=#ff0000]Modulus[/color][/b] in San Fransisco and Hand Picked out the Wood, I know this, because he called me from [b][color=#ff0000]Modulus[/color][/b] and asked me if it would be ok that he pick out the top, as he was having a 10 String Made of the Exact Top. I will try to post some pics of it, here are the specs Serial # 951774 [b][color=#ff0000]Modulus[/color][/b] Graphite SPI-5 [b][color=#ff0000]Extra[/color][/b] Wide- In 1995 /1996, there was no such thing as a [b][color=#ff0000]Extra[/color][/b] [b][color=#ff0000]Wide[/color][/b] 5, so it has a 6 String neck with only 5 Strings on it, as I understand this to be true? Spalted Sugar Maple Top Alder Back Gold Hardware DC Humbuckers 18Volt I did have the Bridge Modified to accept the ABM Individual bridge/saddles, this was Done by Lee at The Bass Place on 05-08-2000 If anyone has seen it or knows where it is, Please contact me, I would love to know where she is. There is a huge History of this Bass, From getting it Stolen, and I got it back, to Pawning it so My wife could have an Emergency Life Saving Operation...this Bass has Stories to Tell If anyone knows where she is, please let me know, I simply would like to stay in contact with her new owner, just in case that person decides to EVER sell her, I would like to be the first consideration...I mean this with all Sincereity...Please help me locate this Amazing Bass, It just has so much Sentimental Value to me, My name is Terry Scott if you feel you would like to email me, please feel free to do so [email="[email protected]"][color=#22229c][email protected][/color][/email] Thankyou So Much for helping me in this Personal Quest.
