Very good bass. 

Thanks !

Where are you based Jay ?

That's right ! These basses are great sounding.

No need it, but so want it...🤔

Beauty Flea !

I got a sparkle grey one. A blue could be a nice sister.

And not refinish ?

You're right, no trace of paint or varnish on neck pocket or everywhere else.

Ok for solid colors.

On you own opinion, for the naturals is it the same ?

So it should be on all models  ?

They only thing i'm sure isn't original is the wiring of the PU's.

And i can't check the PU's SN because of  the foams stamps (?) who are glued under them and i don't really want to remove them...

But i'm almost sure that it was an natural born bass.

My bass :

Well, maybe.. but they are exactly same positions than others..

Marks on Strat are in another place.

Hi All !

I've got a 76 natural FenderJazz bass, and a friend of mine told me it could't be an original natural because of the two router marks on the back.

For him, those marks are present on Solid bodies colors but never on naturals.

He also told me that  there's always somewhere on the body (neck pocket, under pickguard...) a stamp named NATURAL. But i don't see the stamp in most of natural Fender basses i can find... mine don't have it.

But, i can see everywhere on the web naturals Fenders with those two router marks, and sold as 100 % originals basses (or guitars).

Some have not, but some have it.

Got it :

Anyone have some informations about this ?

Best regards

Monster bass !

I still have 3 Steinbergers, XL2, XM2A, XP2.

I will never let them go.

GLWTS.

Just bought a Modulus Flea to Dan, and this transaction was very friendly.

Total confidence !

Merci mon ami !

Well... Genseric asked me for mine this morning...

Don't want to sell it too.

Please, ship your Flea to this guy man !

Sorry for hi-jacking this thread.

We have been discussing about this particular issue elsewhere, and we disagree. A bartolini without a logo is an SD or LP.

I don't think it was me, but this mate was right, there's also Barto's without the logo.

I bought a FB5 at Bassdirect who was all barto's  . And no logo on.

A french bassist well known at "Onlybass" (French bass forum) had a Flea too with Barto PU without logo.

It seems to be a certain anarchy with Fleas PU...

Anyway, there's some Barto PU for Modulus without the engraved name.

I once had a Flea with Barto PU without the name.

Great basses and killer sound !

I'm in love with a BB3000 MA...

I once hade a Funk Unlimited 5 all Bartolini.

No marking on the pickup...

Nice basses.

Thank you !

Must think about it...

Aguilar OBP-1 , the PU has no marking so I have assumed it is the standard unit fitted in 2008...but as you can see in the pic's it dose not have the Modulus logo on the PU......best..B

Thanks. The OBP-1 is amazing on this bass.

About the PU, never seen the Modulus logo on, but it could a Bartolini (i got the same without Bartolini engraved), or maybe a Seymour Duncan...

Anyway, very good price ! Shipping everywhere ?
