This is an awesome bass, have you thought about tuning up for the C/other..... I'm looking to trade a nice 6 at the moment but you're punching above my weight...

Paulo Silva Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 oh my god! I can't believe that you are actually selling this beauty! the bass plays like butter and sounds huge! It has one of the lowest actions I've ever played! I wish I had money! Good luck for the sale! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cricriii Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 Hey ! Remember me? We were trying to exchange your MTD with my Roscoe last week! Hope u'll get what you're looking after. See ya ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pbat Posted May 25, 2010 Author Share Posted May 25, 2010 Gwilym, sorry I don't have sound clips, but I'll try to have them very soon. I've just finish to make a session using the bass on 3 records and for sure this will give a much more clear idea to you about what we are talking about. I don't like to use free adjectives but the tone of this bass is absolutly remarkable. Thanks Paulo you know the bass and your words make me think twice, but also you know I'm moving to midi and need another 6 strings Cricriii, of course I remember you and your fantastic Roscoe SKB6. I know you already sold the Roscoe...good for you and also for the lucky guy that takes your bass. More photos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pbat Posted May 27, 2010 Author Share Posted May 27, 2010 (edited) Hi Stockholm Syndrome, Thanks a lot, but Modulus is not my kind of bass. Only a question of personal taste. Cheers Edited May 27, 2010 by pbat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stockholm Syndrome Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 I would call that curly maple, but that is just me Gorgeous top/bass nevertheless! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pbat Posted June 9, 2010 Author Share Posted June 9, 2010 Your observation is correct. I've checked some spalted maple tops and are completely different from that one. Sorry for the mystake. I don't know how to describe the top. When I bought the bass from Bass&Beyond it was described as AAAAA Spalted Maple Top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
