Modulus Quantum 4 For sale is this beautiful Modulus Quantum 4 with a nice cherry burst finish and stunning quilted maple top. Preamp and pickups are made by Bartolini. The preamp functions are; volume, pickup selector, mids, bass/treble stacked. Mini switches are for active/passive and mid frequency selection. The preamp output can be controlled by a trimpot. The bass is in very good used condition with a few small damages and usermarks. The scale is 35", which is a bit too much for me (when I bought it, the seller assured me it was 34"). A non original hardcase is included. Same goes for the straplock buttons. Asking €2850 Partial trades are welcome. I am mainly interested in a Music Man Stingray 4 or 5 (ideally with maple fretboard and lacquered neck like late 80s, early 90s). Otherwise surprise me. I am located in the Netherlands, but happy to ship at buyers risk.

I bought an Epiphone bass plate and re-used the original bridge saddles from the Hondo to retain the correct fretboard radius. -

I've owned one like this. It was a medium scale with a great even sound across the fretboard. Also it was a heavy f%cker with poor balance. IIRC I had to replace the 3 point bridge as it had warped and cracked like you'll see on many Japanse basses with this type bridge. Definite bargain here, it's a lot of quality for little cash. -

A variety of scenario's are possible I think. The owners of the vintage shops have to live from it, so they do have to move stuff to make a living. If nothing shifts at current pricing, they will discount their prices. And if so, the smaller sellers "have" to follow. Although some will never low their prices and rather keep it for sale for another 3 years That being said, I suspect that there still could be a growth in the market for late '60s- '70s Fenders. As they are now the relatively affordable range on the timeline for vintage Fenders. Anyway, if the market prices will get lower in time, it will be a slow process .

Modulus Funk Unlimited (Flea) For sale is my great Modulus Funk Unlimited from 2008, in highly desirable blue flake finish. It’s equipped with a Seymour Duncan pickup and Aguilar OBP-1 preamp; a great sounding combo with huge output. The bass is in clean, excellent condition. Everything works as it’s supposed to. Frets are good too. Playability is superb with a very low action. I’ve never had a lower action on any other bass. Weight is 4.5kg on my kitchen scales. The original hardcase is included, which has some damages but functions well. It's kind of a reluctant sale, but new purchases mean I have to make some choices. Price €3.950,- I am located in the Netherlands, but happy to ship at buyers risk. Partial trades are considered. I'm especially interested in Stingray 5 with maple fretboard and lacquered neck (like early 90s). Otherwise you can try me, no 35" scale though and only 5ers with narrower stringspacing. No straight trades please, I sell this to gain a decent amount of cash.

Personally I would enlarge the holes in the control plate a little to accommodate the new pots. Or get a replacement control plate that would fit the bill. There should be enough around I think.

Squire Affinity range basses can be very impressive. I've owned one that played and sounded better than some American Standard Fenders. Should have kept it (like many that I've sold in the past).

Modulus Quantum Q5 For sale is this beautiful Modulus Quantum Q5, made in 1996. It is equipped with EMG pickups and preamp (vol/vol/bass/treble). This beast has a great deep, clear and growly sound. The B is tight and has a very pleasing authority. The bass is in good condition with no serious damages, only some small lacquer damages here and there. The neck is straight with little relief from the factory. The frets are in good condition. One of the bridge saddle height screws is missing. The original case is included. It is kinda wrecked (don't ask me what happened, I got it like this) but still closes well and could be used for transportation. I truly enjoy the sound of this 5-er, but the 35" scale cramps my fretting hand when playing on the lower registers of the B and E string for a longer time. I thought I could deal with the scale due to the 17mm stringspacing, but no. For me it's not the keeper I thought it would be . Now I'll be looking for either a 34" quantum (if any out there) or a nice Stingray 5, which will be more friendly for my fretting hand. Asking price €2800 I am located in the Netherlands, but happy to ship at buyers risk.
