    The Wednesday issue was due to a phone number error on your side, which I know was rectified in good time. More clarity and early warning on collections would have been helpful, I’m sure I’m not the only one that this is an issue for. As luck might have it, the courier had to come to my door today because he didn’t get the phone number. How ironic. Sometimes the ball gets dropped eh?

    Apparently they won’t come to my door because they are a freight company, not a courier. So not Covid related - just a miss sell. Booked Monday, missed collection Wednesday, only find out Thursday - just doesn’t sit right with me.

    Having a poor experience with them unfortunately. Firstly they failed to collect yesterday. Now I’ve just been told the ‘courier’ they are using won’t collect from the door of my flat. I have a physical condition so getting the bass down to the street (only place they’ll collect) will definitely raise my pain levels no end. Super pi**ed off.

    Personally I’d get it done (if the current frets stop it playing properly) either with low profile frets or by having the new frets stoned down to stop that brand new feeling. That said, isn’t it Brian May who won’t refret his Red Special? So you’re not daft.

    Special basses IMO - GLWTS

    Could be two way truss, what happens if you keep tightening - or at least going in that direction?!

    I think you’re right Guy, my experience from working in vintage shops and playing a fair few is that there can be quiet a difference. The necks were made and finished by hand after alL edit - and not to Lull or Sadowsky highly skilled and expected exact measurements!

    Sold

    I hope so bro, this lot ^^^ are giving me proper seller’s remorse already! 😳

    I know you’re all right as I’ve been there before when I sold my last one to Warren years ago... Cant keep them all 🙄 No doubts I’ll buy another in 5 years 🤩

    Fantastic Flea Sound??? 🤔

    Would be soooo tempted, but no cash flow. Lovely looking bass.

    That’ll depend on how hard the first wave of sellers regret kicks in 😂😂😂 Cheers pal 🙏

    SOLD - Modulus Flea FB4, made in 2000. Aguilar OBP1 and Bartolini pickup. Also comes with the original Bartolini preamp - the Aguilar does the Flea sound so much better so is a great upgrade In used condition, has some dings, but looks great. One small ding is pictured by the fret marker - though can’t be felt when played. The body has the very common lacquer cracks by the neck, but hasn’t gone through to the wood of course Bass has no issues, sounds incredible. Does the FB4 sound like nothing else can. Has the original case. Postage possible, please PM. No trades - only selling now due to cash flow. Cheers.

    I got mine when they landed here in 2018, so much what I’m about to say is about the early ones, so I’m unsure about the current state of play. The saddles can be a pain in the proverbial, I’ve experienced and seen that the grub screws sometime slip. But I was sent replacements free of charge. Some people also found some grub screws too short, and again were sent free replacements. Lastly, I see on TB that quiet a few in the States needed a Plek to get a low action. All said, great basses if you like that kind of thing and fancy the different flavour of this version.

    £30 I bought this new, just to put under a couch that our rabbits were exploring, so it’s never been used. It was B-stock when I got it, so has a couple of cracks in the plastic (pictured) - though being in the corner it’s still structurally strong. Keys are present. Socially distanced collection only please 👍

    She’s a looker too 😘

    Nice to see On The Beach and Tonight’s The Night ranked so highly (but then that’s offset by other rankings like Time Fades Away for example), I love those albums and I’m a huge NY fan, but I’m not a fan of judgment lists so have no idea what I’d rank and where - plus that’d change weekly no doubt 😬
  20. Chiliwailer
    Right you are bro, cheers 🙏

    Cheers pal 👍 But one still has to go... and might be halfway out the door already 😞 😂

    Withdrawn... 🤔

    I did some guitar tech work on that show, and spent many a night sitting behind him - which meant I could hear his fantastic playing, but not actually see him play 🙄

    Cheers bro - victim of my own greed! I now own a Modulus FB4 again, and couldn’t resist buying back my Old Smoothie Ray last week, which has sentimental value. So the Special is the one that can’t be justified due to having the others... which is odd because I started 2019 with the Special as my only bass, and was very happy. GAS eh?!!
