This is a rare Modulus. I say this because from what I understand, early '99 was when Modulus first started offering truss rods. And late '98 was the last that you could get a Modulus with Lane Poor p/ups. So here you have it! A Modulus with these options was only available for about a 1 year period of time.
Specs:
- Ser # 99007 = 7th bass made in 1999?
- 2-pc Alder body w/ Quilted Maple top and trans red finish
- 35" scale graphite neck WITH TRUSS ROD!
- Lane Poor soapbar p/ups. I believe they're M4.0Ws, but I can pull them to make sure if you wish. They're stock, so they have the Modulus logos of course.
- Bartolini 2-band pre (NTB I believe? Again, I can find out for sure if it's important.)
- Original (I think) Modulus leather (or pleather) gigbag. Has rip on bottom.
This is a players' bass. The top is in excellent condition. The back has a chip that is through the finish. There are clear coat scratches on the neck heel. And it has the not uncommon clear coat chipping off along both edges of the fingerboard. These flaws are shown in the pics in the link.
The tone is loud, punchy, and crystal clear. This can get VERY bright and crisp if you want it to. And unlike some electronics (like active EMGs), this can also achieve warm and mellow. And of course, since it's graphite, there are no dead spots. The tone and volume is amazingly consistent across all registers.
Price: $1600 $1500
