I kinda laugh and take the fosters a wee bit about P basses as everyone seems to say you can play everything from Abba to ZZ Top with a bit of Dream Theater in between but do love the sound of a P with a pick, tone fully on of course. They are great instruments, I will probably own a jazz, Ray and P at some stage That being said, if I ever buy a Sunburst P with rosewood/tort and put flats on it, take me out the back and shoot me

Wow that's quite the claim fair play, horses for courses and all that. I do love a good P bass too.

To be clear it just ergonomics for me, love the sound

Yeah, they're not bad

Shes a beaut

Yeah I must try flats on the next one I will more than likely get another soon but the price tag means it needs to be the one and only it is the tone I have in my head, that Flea mid grunt (i know he played Modulus etc also). Its so addictive. I will find one i can play.....

Behringer delay and zoom b4on. Zoom was £70 and has great drum machine, b3k and fuzz patches as well as Sansamp tone. Awesome

Yeah been there done that, plastic ramp, worked OK but not quite natural. Zero mod thumbrest was same. Maybe an angled tug bar like a Fender might be the ticket? I'm used to anchoring thumb on neck pickup of jazz.

I'll probably go back a few times and then learn my lesson.

I'm right there with you mate. Love everything about a Stingray except playing one. really want one back in my life as I love the tone. Might get an SR5 for a Low B thumbrest

@marleaux62your collection is ridiculous!! Beautiful basses. Let me know if you're ever shifting one

HI @40hz thank you so much for your info, this is why I love basschat. Agreed on the "mods", plan was to tell him to keep the extra pickup etc and offer based on that. I'm in Europe so import tax won't be issue. Thanks again Michael

Yeah was talkbass so sterile was taken with a truckload of salt

Nice, this has an obp 3, not sure why he went Delanos but. Might need to buy both for proper comparison

Cheers man, you know your stuff! See Flea is still putting the Poors in his new active jazzes as well

Thanks Russ. Beginning to think an SR5 would be a better all round bass

Sorry, specifically meant this one. https://reverb.com/item/53572780-modulus-flea-bass-5-strings-fb5-aka-funk-unlimited-2001-black The front pickup thing is an abomination so would be going stock MM. Also has upgraded obp3 pre and Delano (upgrade?) pickup. Thanks

Hi guys, So there's a nice Fleabass 5 (my dream bass :)) on reverb at minute. Wondering what everyone's experience of the bass has been? Heard varying reports (sounds great, too sterile etc) and how it would compare to a Stingray 5? Thanks Mick
