Exactly the same colour as mine. Had mine for the best part of 15 years now (from new) and it's a bass I'll probably never get rid of. There's part of the relationship that is emotional (every single scratch on it tells a story) but primarily because it's an absolutely killer sounding and playing bass. Bump for a fabulous instrument.

Thirsty Thursday Bump!

Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow! That's just fabulous. <WISHING SOMEONE WOULD BUY MY MODULUS>

[b]TRADED. [/b] [b]Sorry, I'm usually meticulous about updating statuses but dropped a clog with this. [/b] Hi All, After much deliberation, I've decided to let go of my Blue Sparkle Modulus Flea. I've been using my Spector almost exclusively for the covers band I'm doing nowadays and the Flea really hasn't had a look in for the past year or so. Guess I'm also probably looking for something a little less aggressive and modern-sounding to compliment the Spector. My Flea was brought direct from Basscentral in the States back in 2006. It's a 05 model and has since had retrofitted a Aguilar OBP-3 3 band preamp and also a Seymour Duncan SMB-4a alnico "MM" type pickup to give it a little more of the pre-EB Stingray vibe. It's a fabulous sounding bass, really crisp, punchy, open and articulate but with loads of grunt when needed. The OBP-3 has made such a difference to the tone shaping capabilities, one can cut or boost the mids to give it a lot more presence in the mix. It's a great player, a really low action and being graphite-necked, it's never moved. Steady as a rock. It's pristine save for a couple of very minor nicks. Both on the back, one in the rib-cage cutaway and the other in the middle of the back of the bass. Being a sparkle, you need to really look for them! Comes with the Modulus hard case. Would prefer a cash sale for around the £850 mark but also looking for trades (plus some cash adjustment either way). After something a little more traditional-ish. Perhaps a Lakland JO or BG, a Roadword Fender Precision or Jazz or maybe, and here's a couple of curveballs, a Warwick Thumb (as I miss that lovely woody bark) or a Spector Euro 5 (as I've just stumbled across a vid of my old band where I was using one and it sounded great). Ultimately, open to trades so what ya got. PM me as I can only say no ;-) Any questions, PM. Cheers Tony [attachment=53723:Basses_32.jpg] [attachment=53724:Basses_35.jpg] [attachment=53725:Basses_38.jpg] [attachment=53726:Basses_41.jpg] [attachment=53727:Basses_44.jpg] [attachment=53728:Basses_47.jpg]

Can't believe this is still here..... Bump for Phil's 4S ("Spectacular Sexy Special Spector")! Tony

PM'd

I've played this NS4 when I met with Phil a couple of months ago. It's simply a stunning looking and brilliantly playing bass which sounds killer too. I was very very jealous that I had to "make do" with my Euro Spector whilst he had this amazing instrument Phil's a total gent and a top bloke to deal with too. Mate, I feel your pain having to let go of this. Hope the cunning plan comes together in the meantime so you can keep it. Rgds Tony

[/quote] Hi Nige, I know, I know! <COWERS AS HE GETS READY FOR THE BEATING> I gigged on Saturday night and was intending using it for the first time live but in the end I took the EBS rig. It sounds absolutely brilliant and is such a great lightweight powerful beast of an amp but I've realised it's just not for me. The usual breakup story I guess, "it's not you, it's just me". I've had the EBS for so long now (after several years of using valve amps), I've realised that a lot of "my sound" comes from not just my basses and me but also from my amplification. The Orange Bass Terror is such a fantastically brilliant amp but whilst I've got the EBS rig, I'm certain that I'm never gonna use it outside of home or a rehearsal studio. Yeah, my EBS gear is flippin heavy but who cares about load ins and outs when it sounds that good. Sorry mate. Feel like I've you down! T

Up for sale is my Orange Terror Bass head. It's sounds fantastic and is as loud as f*ck for such a small and portable head pumping out 500w into either 4 or 8 ohms. Brought only a few weeks ago, only been out the house twice to rehearsal. Never gigged, it's absolutely pristine and includes the dinky carry case and the original box. Sale preferred, looking for £390 plus postage (the only trades I'd be interested in is an EBS Proline 410 or a MIJ/CIJ Precision) Cheers Tony [attachment=48847:_DSC4528.jpg] [attachment=48848:_DSC4526.jpg] [attachment=48849:_DSC4529.jpg] [attachment=48851:_DSC4530.jpg] [attachment=48852:_DSC4531.jpg]

PM'd re 58!

[quote name='yorick' post='791531' date='Mar 31 2010, 08:57 AM']The JJ went at the weekend, traded for an EUB and some other bits. I'm going to hang onto the JM [/quote] Good decision Nige, was surprised you had them up for trade as the JM sounded (and looked) fantastic the other night when I tried your Orange Terror Bass rig. T
