Hi, guys,
This bass isn't quite as she left the factory-
The next to last owner swapped out the EMG’s and Demeter pre for Bartolini Classic Bass dual-coil pickups with a 3-way coil-tap switch for each pickup (series, parallel, bridge-coil only). They’re connected to an Aguilar OBP-3 18v preamp with push/pull volume for active/passive selection, blend, push/pull mids for low mids and high mids selection, and stacked treble/bass.
But I’ve saved the best for last…
Back in June of this year, the previous owner sent it back to Modulus via the Music Zoo, and had the bass converted to FRETLESS! The neck was totally redone, and everything with the setup was optimized at the factory, so it’s like a brand new, fresh of the line bass that’s 22 years old!
I’m pretty sure that what started out as a pretty rare Q6 Sweet Spot Turbo (With a 2Tek bridge!!!) is now pretty much unique…
I’m really more or less speechless as how everything I ever could have wanted or dreamed about has come together in this one bass.
I’ve always wanted a Modulus, and once I could afford one, it was never in the cards, and over the years I’ve missed out on a few that looked like they would have really made me happy. Last year I had talked to Moses about a graphite replacement neck, and when I went to look them up a few weeks ago, it seems like they’re out of that now, so I felt like I missed another opportunity. I had even looked into an epoch/Jaco fingerboard mod for my #1 fretless…
Then this Q6 came along…
Again, I really don’t know what to say, other than how happy I am that everything I could have ever dreamed about in a “perfect bass” happened to all come together, and at a time when I was able to purchase it.
First 2 pics are as it is now, fretless. The others are older when it was still fretted, just to show how amazing this wood and finish (Orange Crush) is.
