Modulus Q6s are very rare anyway but I've never seen this configuration before. This bass plays incredibly well and the action can be set extremely low. An amazing instrument.[list] [*]Manufacturer: Modulus [*]Model: Quantum 6 (Q6) [*]Year: 2001 [*]Serial: 010037 [*]Neck: Graphite bolt-on with side dot position markers [*]Fingerboard: Chechen (super rare) [*]Frets: 24 [*]Scale: 35" [*]Nut: 2" [*]24th fret: 3.25" [*]Top: Exotic wood [*]Hardware: Gold [*]Tuners: Original [*]Bridge: Original [*]Strings: D'Addario NYXL [*]Pickups: EMG active with 3-band EQ [*]Controls: Volume, blend, highs, mids, lows [*]Weight: 9 pounds / 4 kilograms [*]Case: Original Modulus [/list] I'm based in Bournemouth, Dorset.

Great deal Jens. GLWTS.

This bass is ridiculous! An amazingly beautiful instrument.

What year is this bass and do you have the Fodera smugmug handy?

This is great. I wish this had been 17.5mm spacing! Wonderful bass. GLWTS.

Bump.

Nice.

I really am super surprised this hasn't gone.

Surprised you've still got this at that price.

This Fodera Koa Monarch 6 Bolt-On is a unique and rare design. 6 strings, 33" scale length and 16.5mm bridge spacing make this the most compact 6-er Fodera build allowing the player to access all of the benefits of an extended-range instrument with maximum ease and comfort. Fast solo runs, deep pocket grooves, chording in the upper register; This bass handles it all and with authority. A mahogany body and ebony fingerboard give this bass a clear and well balanced tone with a bell-like upper register. I've photographed two small marks near the lower horn. Other than that, it's pretty much bang on. Weight according to my bathroom scales is 10.4 pounds. I'm based in Bournemouth, Dorset. No trades. Local pick up preferred but I would ship fully insured at the buyers expense.

Any photos?

Bump.

Total bargain. I wish this was rosewood.

Nice looking bass. It might be worth updating the title because this is not an American Standard model Jazz Bass though.

Having owned a New Standard myself, I don't doubt that this is a fine bass but I think it's very important to list things as accurately as possible.

I wait confirmation with Fodéra[/font][/color][/size] [/quote] Quick google of Fodera New Standard throws up these basses. As has been mentioned previously, it's a confusing naming used by Fodera. https://www.talkbass.com/threads/fodera-monarch-new-standard.1225044/ https://www.talkbass.com/threads/nbd-my-first-fodera.1202510/ https://www.talkbass.com/threads/fodera-new-monarch-standard.1200645/ https://youtu.be/jp9wZxbWWu0 https://reverb.com/uk/item/2409662-fodera-monarch-new-standard-late-90s-quilt-maple

[quote name='Muppet' timestamp='1483363324' post='3206494'] Is it really only 8" wide? What size are the speakers? [/quote] No, it's actually 11" wide. I stupidly used incorrect information published on the Bass Direct web site. The speakers are 4".

[quote name='saroumane2005' timestamp='1483219370' post='3205559'] I missed the bass I had in sight, so back to a resonable price given that I'm no longer in a hurry [b][s]£[/s]3150 / 3700 €[/b] [b]but i really prefer a trade with a Ritter (4/5) or Wal (4/5)[/b] [/quote] I think Bass Club Paris may have mis-sold it to you with that description. I'd suggest you contact Fodera for information about this bass so you can hear it directly from them. It looks to be a New Standard model and while you can obviously ask for whatever amount of money you like, it might be difficult to sell at the price you'd like because this isn't a custom Fodera.

This looks like a Fodera Monarch New Standard model? It's very similar anyway. http://basschat.co.uk/topic/280669-fodera-monarch-new-standard-4-strings-sold/
