Bassdude BE Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 (edited) NOW SOLD PENDING THE USUAL! Hi, i'm considering to sell or trade my recently aquired Modulus Flea-bass 4 string. It's not the standard model as it has some options as the Bartolini Jazz p.u.'s and Aguilar OBP-3 pre-amp A new one with these options will set you back around 2300GBP, link to store: [url="http://www.smart-distribution.co.uk/bassandguitar/modulusguitars/funkunlimited.html"]http://www.smart-distribution.co.uk/bassan...kunlimited.html[/url] I'm looking for a trade with a nice high end Warwick as i've been waiting a long time to discover "that sound of wood" a lot of my friends are so psyched about (preferably an older Warwick with wenge neck and black or chrome hardware) OR a trade with a cheaper 4 string bass (Jazz/precision/warwick/spector) + cash so i can ad two different flavored basses to my set-up. I'm intrested in 4 strings: Warwick, Spector , jazz basses ,Jazz/Musicman bass with Modulus neck, high end Ibanez ,... i might also be intrested in a trade + cash with a spare TC Electronic RS212 or RS210 cab and various FX-pedals. (+ cash either way) As to the state of the bass: The bass was made in december 2006, comes with original sturdy Modulus case , manual and warranty card and is in near mint condition. I must say there's a very small dent in the headstock (see picture) ,but that's hardly noticable and that's really the only flaw you will find on this beauty! The bass works on 2 9volt batteries (1 for the Bartolini p.u.'s and 1 for the Aguilar OBP-3) and comes equiped with brand new Dunlop strap locks. I'm VERY sad to see this go, but for the right trade i might consider letting this go to a new home. Action is SUPERLOW with no fretbuzz, an it has the the fastest and best neck i've ever played!! [b]EDIT: i value this around 1090GBP, it's worth a lot more (especially to me) but that's about the price i would want for it in case of a sale.[/b] kind regards, Don.

Bassdude BE Posted May 26, 2011 Author Share Posted May 26, 2011 and up! might be the final up, i played it again for a few hours yesterday and had such a blast playing this superfast neck that i might consider keeping it and spending my entire bankroll for this summer (tax return, holiday money,..) on a second bass to solve my problem...

Bassdude BE Posted May 27, 2011 Author Share Posted May 27, 2011 Had so many trade-offers already that i can't even remember them all... & there's a big chance it will be gone forever by the end of next week, but for the moment it is still available so hit me with your offer if you're intrested. bump Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassdude BE Posted May 28, 2011 Author Share Posted May 28, 2011 [b]Final bump! Thinking more and more about keeping it as i haven't been offered a Warwick that made me feel like " yest this is the one!" just yet, so by the end of this week this is either gone/sold/traded or it will probably be withdrawn and stay with me forever!
