The only other time I've heard a Modulus bass is when Benny Reitveld was using one back in the early 90's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiwi Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 I've owned three....it started with a Modulus Sonic Hammer which was an outstanding bass apart from just not suitable for the music I was playing. I then moved onto a pair of Q5 Sweetspots and both had issues - the neck on the fretless was bent and the fretted one was very brittle sounding. I've not really gone back since but have a soft spot for their pink over blue finish. An FB5 in pink over blue would be hard to resist.

Gibson should do that finish on a Thunderbird. P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lapolpora Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Loving it! I had a problem with the preamp earlier this year and it had to go back to John East for a service and upgrade. Other than that it's been fab. So easy to play - and I'm a 4 stringer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
