Russ Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 I've found that the Modulus Flea/FU basses sound a bit cold when played by themselves, but completely come alive in a mix - they sit under a band perfectly, and cut in all the right places when you want to be heard. Having said that, another option would be to get a Stingray and a Status neck - you could have a Flea-beater for under a grand - Sterling Ray34 (every bit as good as the real thing, trust me) - £700-ish, Status neck - £300.

Lfalex v1.1 Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Or save up another £300 and buy a Status Streamline. Someone around here's got one with an MM pick-up in it. I'm sure Rob would oblige. Okay, they don't do a "woody" tone, but they do everything else! Maybe see if you can hunt down a s/h one- or a bolt on S2? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazingly my Streamline seems to be able to do mellow, albeit with a bit of knob twiddling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roll off the top. Add some bottom. Play lightly, pan towards neck p/u. I had Rob fit custom pick-ups (Still Status) and series/parallel switching for both units. Worth the extra.
