Modulus Flea 5 Sold £2650 Netherlands

[SurroundedByManatees]

Modulus Flea 5

Very nice sage green metallic '98 Modulus Flea 5 with the sought after Lane Poor pickup, matched up with the OBP-1 preamp from Aguilar (a combo Flea used himself). The volume pot has a push/pull function for active/passive operation. As you can see it has a matching headstock. 

Its a great bass with excellent playability and excellent sound. The bass is in very good shape with small damages/some minor scuffing. The neck is straight and allows low action, and all electronics and hardware work like they should. The frets are in good condition too. Fresh DR sunbeams are fitted. 

The pictures are taken in 2 sessions: daylight and sunlight. It looks especially nice in sunlight where the green really shines. 

 

The original case is included, which has one stud broken off (case can stand stable) and another damage on the front. 

Price: €2.950 (approx £2.650) 

***NOW €2.650***

The bass is located in the Netherlands, but I am happy to ship within the EU/UK at buyers risk. 

Trades and partial trades are welcome: old fender Mustang/duo sonic/duo sonic ll/jaguar guitar, vintage Fender basses or decent copies, other fourstring basses (traditional shapes). Maybe a cool amp...

Spacing 18 or 19mm?

Can check later today, but it is a little more narrow than let's say a standard jazz bass. I like that for a fiver.

On the Flea/Funk Unlimited 5ers it should be 17mm at the bridge.

Thanks! Too narrow for me.

I am mainly gassing for a good fourstring jazz bass at the moment; anything between a good Japanese copy and original vintage Fender has my attention. 

My ideal jazz would be a late 60s with faded sunburst finish and tort pickguard.

Hi there. Does this particular Modulus have a truss rod?

Nope. Later ones do. The neck is still great and straight after 22 years.

Don´t give it away, give it away, give it away now - you might regret it!

Tradewise I am especially looking for a late 60s/early 70s Fender jazz (prefer worn and faded sunburst/tort/low weight).  Partial trades with cheaper 4 string basses will be considered too. Further: lower watts tube amp with cab or a nice combo, fender Mustang guitar or similiar....
