It's finally time for me to let go of my first true love .. my Modulus Flea Bass! I have had the Modulus bass for 7 years and it's been an awesome! it's turned heads at every gig I played and the sound is just something truely amazing ... maybe even too good haha. however, I have now moved on in style and sound with my Sadowsky and am hoping to add another VJ bass to my collection. I am now finding myself leaving the Modulus at home more and more. I think it's time it had a new home Here is the spec; 22 fret, 34" scale carbon fiber bolt-on neck White pearl pickguard Chrome Hardwear Silver Sparkle w/matching headstock Bartolini MM Pickup Aguilar active preamp w/ passive bass and treble It comes with original hardcase (with my own added decorations as you will see from pictures ) As it's over 7 years old, it's had it's bumps and knocks .. most noticeable is on the headstock where a small part of the silver sparkle has chipped off (bass dropped when strap came off). there are also a few small marks on the back of the neck that I have tried to capture, but hardly noticable and there are a few scuffs on the silver sparkle body .. but you can only slightly feel these rather than see them. I am looking for £900 for this (taking into account the chipped headstock and the slow market at the moment) and will arrange courier for delivery. I am also open to trades and would be happy to consider any 4 string Sadowsky Metro, Modulus VJ, Lakeland, Sandberg .. just fire away Here are pictures ... enjoy (remember, the chip on the headstock makes it authentic) [attachment=59749:IMG_0388.JPG] [attachment=59750:IMG_0381.JPG] [attachment=59751:IMG_0383.JPG] [attachment=59752:IMG_0379.JPG] [attachment=59753:IMG_0392.JPG] [attachment=59754:IMG_0394.JPG]

as and when you realise you still don't have a place for the valenti ... I will have it off your hands

not even a Silver Sparkle Modulus Flea Bass with all the best kit?

[quote name='LukeFRC' post='963069' date='Sep 21 2010, 10:30 AM']well you could get the silver one and pretend you just moved some pickups on the flea.... or you could buy my one and tell her how you saved a few hundred and are being more honest through not making up stuff about moving pickups on a flea bass? [/quote] I like the first option better

metro's are Jap made Sadowskys which cost approx £1700 new from guitar guitar. no difference other than the quality of the wood!

[quote name='tayste_2000' post='962854' date='Sep 21 2010, 12:00 AM']The other Valenti will be closer to your Sadowsky in shape mine is the more traditional chunky fender design. Also the red one is in better condition than mine, mainly as it just seems to get passed around For the money his is the better buy and just to be clear I won't be price matching I'm not Tesco's [/quote] haha!! you'd be a rubbish sales man!

an awesome reply to my question! thanks I want this one and the other one up for sale haha ... but my other half wouldn't be impressed!!

[quote name='tayste_2000' post='962839' date='Sep 20 2010, 11:25 PM']Personally this is the best jazz bass I've tried full stop and that includes over the 2 USA Sadowsky's I've tried, however it is heavier than the USA Sadowsky's it's pretty much bang on 5kg's[/quote] that's about 2lbs heavies than my metro .. could possibly live with that! but there is another Valenti on sale now as well! too much choice!!

can I ask you to give more detail on why it didn't feel right? I understand that it cost a fair bit, but it never stopped me I have a sadowsky metro and the action is amazing! really easy to play! what's the Valenti like in terms of action and playability!?

wow .. oh, how I would love another bass! I have a Sadowsky MV4 and I would never just want another bass that sounded and performed the same, so the question would be, is there much difference between the 2?

this is a lovely looking bass if I had a spare £2000 I would have this in a flash! I have a Metro .. but one day hope to own an NYC. I hope you manage to sell it .. but then I hope you also decide to keep it!

good luck with sale dude .. the amp is amazing! would have loved to give the cab a whirl before you sold it!

just bought one of these inc carry case and footswitch and I have to say they are awesome and this is a great price! shouldn't take you too long to sell this
