[quote name='Marcus' post='154183' date='Mar 9 2008, 08:47 PM']The first 2 numbers should tell you the year (see picture - mine's a 97) if yours was a custom then it might not have a number on it ![/quote] Ah ha, that means it's a '99 then - serial is 990006 Forgot to mention that it has quite nice little abalone (or mother of pearl?) dot markers too - not that special but catch the light nicely!

[quote name='Marcus' post='154150' date='Mar 9 2008, 08:11 PM']it must sound massive !! I'd love to hear it - What Year is it ? I've hear of Lane Poor MM Pups going for $800 so i'm hardly surprised you're getting offers on the pup - LOL !![/quote] I have no ida what year it is - can I tell from the serial number? Wow, if I sold both of the Lanes for $800 each that wouldn't be far off what I paid for the entire bass (well, within a couple of hundred quid anyway!).

[quote name='Marcus' post='154105' date='Mar 9 2008, 07:12 PM']2 Lane Poor MM Pups in 1 bass..... ? That's just greedy !!! Stunning Instrument !![/quote] Funnily enough, i've had more than one offer to sell one of the Lane Poors but seems a bit of an odd request as I've wondered what the prospective buyers think I'd stick in it instead? I guess the sound could be described as "full" I like the passive/active option as well passive is a smoother more rounded sound and switching the active circuit in adds a fair bit more punch. Don't really use the boost option much though. I don't know what the circuit is, must try to suss that out sometime! I usually use it with a Euphonic 1x10 combo and 1x12 extension cab - always surprises people (especially drummers) at how powerful it can sound. There's another Modulus buried away somewhere which is probably "prettier" than this one, it's a VJ with twin Bartolinis and a really nice sunbusrt finish. I think the one regret I have with the Flea is that it isn't a bit more flash looking like some of the Fleas out there. However the plain black means it works quite well as a gigging bass where I don't want to look too "over the top", lol.

[quote name='Marcus' post='153407' date='Mar 7 2008, 09:59 PM']No never tried Flats on a Flea ! Had 4 Flea Basses, this ones sounds the biggest (the D&G stay big in the context of a live bannd) and plays the best, lowest clean action i've ever experienced, Horrible cliche but it just about plays itself !![/quote] That is a nice looking Flea. I have one with twin Lane Poors and an active/passive switch with a boost option as well. Funky little mother of pearl inlay at the 12th fret of Randy Hope-Taylor (he had it built for a tour he did with Jeff Beck but then sold it afte the tour was finished). These basses really are great to play and the Lane Poors are excellent.
