[quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1482094107' post='3197628'] Are you going to have the Lakers paintjob?! [/quote] Dunno I have the Modulus pink sparkle and the flea pink jazz so maybe something a bit different to pink! Need to get a neck sorted too!

[quote name='Delberthot' timestamp='1482088119' post='3197544'] The problem is that Flea himself said that the Jazz was great for recording but didn't cut through enough for live work - I'm guessing he is using a Jazz shaped bass with a Stingray pickup due to the deal with Fender instead of the Modulus. That's why I don't see the point in the actual signature bass unless you're using it for recording or don't want to sound like Flea live. If any of us want to sound like Flea or at least use what he is using currently live then we're going to need the one with the musicman pickup in it. I'd certainly like one of those [/quote] Yeah I'm collecting the parts to have one built. Can't wait to get cracking with the build

Yeah not much up here like, rely on this place for GAS and inspiration. Oh and the Bass Doc for builds and running repairs

[quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1481919216' post='3196354'] They are on form right now, be sure to get there in time for Baby Metal, maybe brush up your dance moves and pigtails too! [/quote] Don't quite understand if Baby Metal were mental or brilliant! Or both! The band were tight as a tight thing though!

Yeah I went last night and took my boy (10) who was desperate to see them. He sat open mouthed sand couldn't believe he was actually watching them live! That's what gigs are about! Overall I thought they were excellent and with the set lasting over 1.5hrs they never stopped playing, the little bridge pieces were great and they looked like they were all enjoying being there. Josh has finally settled in and looks the part now, albeit no John F but makes it his own! Flea man, what a dude! Never stopped moving, bopping, jumping and walking on his hands. Top fella and cracking night! Will live long in the memory of my boy too!

Well just dropped mine off at The Bass Doc having only played it once or twice on fully open which sounded canny, however it was deffo a Friday late afternoon build! The pick ups were wired up wrong, only 3 wires and a bit arse over tit I believe the expression goes! However I know once it's back tomorrow after H messes with it enough it will be Bob on! Still love it though and can't wait to get it back.

Happy to pay that, only ones Ive found are over £425!

Anyone selling one or know anywhere that's got one? I have GAS for one of these after seeing on YouTube over the last week!

[quote name='gary mac' timestamp='1471012911' post='3110003'] I had one and really didn't gel with it, despite really wanting to. Loved the look but couldn't get it to sound right or to sit right in a band mix. [/quote] Yeah thats my fear, looks great but sound wise might not be right. Just bought the MIM Flea Jazz and that is a beaut!

So i have the chance to buy an Alembic Epic for a decent price I think (£900) and have always fancied one but never played one. Does anyone have any experiences, positive or negative, about these beasts? Is it just a GAS moment or is it one for my arsenal ( which may mean my black Modulus Flea makes way ) Any help appreciated. Paul

[quote name='Musicman20' timestamp='1470125729' post='3103339'] I would love a Modulus. I wish they would go back into production... [/quote] They have, Bass Centre in the USA are behind it, they sell the Lane Poor Legacy pick ups too! bought my Flea pink sparkle off Joe Perman Modulus build guru and its epic! Mind my black one is pretty sweet too 😉
