bigthumb Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 (edited) I'm reluctantly putting my fretless up for grabs. I love playing the bass but because 1. I'm useless on a fretless and 2. It'll never get used in the band it seem stupid to keep it for the occasional home noodling. Its in great shape and has one of the most unusual finishes I've seen, photos dont capture just how lovely it is. Its a blueburst on quilted maple with an ebony board. EMG PJ 18v pups and recently strung with Status half wounds. It sounds superb even in my clumsy hands! I dont have a hard case for shipping so its collection or meet up's (within reasonable distance). Any questions just ask. I'm not looking for any trades thanks.

Kiwi Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 the first two digits of the serial number should give you the year. I'm betting its 89-93? Odd body shape too, looks like its a 5 string body with a 4 string neck! The lower horn is a bit whacky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lower horn is a bit whacky If I were the original poster, I would see that as a bit of harmless banter! The most upsetting thing about this bass is that I was going to buy it and due to a lack of money, I can't!!!! Many thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Banter need a new definition then. I've got a Warmoth for sale at the moment. Ask him to steer clear of the thread.

doctor_of_the_bass Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 Scoop - I was going to buy this bass; in doing so have had correspondence with the seller - no mention of anything of detriment etc. I'm sure that if the seller had a problem with anyone (Kiwi or anyone else) that he would have contacted them via PM and let his feelings be known. As it is, I would have personally purchased the bass, the only reason I have not is due to a sale of mine falling through. If I can raise the money, and the seller still wish to sell it, I will buy it! Anyone wanna Fender? Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigthumb Posted May 23, 2009 Author Share Posted May 23, 2009 I'm sorry to bump this back to the top but I do feel compelled to post. I did withdraw the bass due to CK's comments. Now by no means am I any expert on Moduli so I cannot say he is wrong or not but if anybody (especially somebody in his position) that posts a comment about a body/neck issue it would certainly give me doubts about buying it. Now I'm sure that discrediting the bass or the sale of the bass was not CK's intention but a casual comment from a fellow bassist but like I said it might put somebody off buying it. I priced it for what I thought would be a quick sale as I didn't really need a fretless and I have bills to settle but I wasn't prepared to drop the price any further. I've been in touch with The Gallery who are now going to get it fretted and I'll probably keep it. Cheers. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ped Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 I think Kiwi's post was more of a punt for information on the bass. It isn't like people are making fakes or anything, so I saw it as more of a comment on the unusual body shape, perhaps it is a prototype, etc? Cool looking bass though, good luck. ped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
