Modulus Quantum Q5

For sale is this beautiful Modulus Quantum Q5, made in 1996. It is equipped with EMG pickups and preamp (vol/vol/bass/treble). This beast has a great deep, clear and growly sound. The B is tight and has a very pleasing authority.

The bass is in good condition with no serious damages, only some small lacquer damages here and there. The neck is straight with little relief from the factory. The frets are in good condition.

One of the bridge saddle height screws is missing.

The original case is included. It is kinda wrecked (don't ask me what happened, I got it like this) but still closes well and could be used for transportation.

I truly enjoy the sound of this 5-er, but the 35" scale cramps my fretting hand when playing on the lower registers of the B and E string for a longer time. I thought I could deal with the scale due to the 17mm stringspacing, but no. For me it's not the keeper I thought it would be .

Now I'll be looking for either a 34" quantum (if any out there) or a nice Stingray 5, which will be more friendly for my fretting hand.

Asking price €2800

I am located in the Netherlands, but happy to ship at buyers risk.

That's a beauty. Reminds me of Modulus' heyday, lots of lovely colours. The strap looks incredibly comfortable too. GLWTS 👍🏻

 

Yeah there are some nice fancy colours out there. A lot of variation on these. 

 

The strap is a Mono Betty, very comfortable and sturdy indeed. Not included in the sale though :)

 

Tnx
